On forward message - return promise with message id

[YehudaEi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My problem is that when I forward a message using forward function then I don't get back the ID of the message.

Describe the solution you'd like What I would love for is to change the forward function that returns promise with the id of the message (Line 314). https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/blob/b60029ed09fc44fdc7531da9fe8dc47823783102/src/structures/Message.js#L307-L314

@YehudaEi hey, were you able to forward a message to a group chat (@g.us)? Could you please share some example code? Thank you!

[YehudaEi]

let success = await msg.forward("972XXXXXXXXX-1584000000@g.us");

For me it works great...

let success = await msg.forward("972XXXXXXXXX-1584000000@g.us");

I've tried this (forwarding to a group; works) but when people on the group starts chatting, the bot also forwards these messages within the same group. Do you have some code to prevent this?

Thanks!

this is an error with your implementation, or WhatsApp Web. We use the exact functions triggered.

I''ll be working on this

I solved it with this (was only for testing purposes):

let phone = msg.from;
    if (msg.from.includes("@g.us")) {
      console.log("not sending message");
    } else {
      client.sendMessage(
        "130258963147770@g.us",
        "wa.me/" + phone.split("@", 1)[0] + " sent this message:\n\n" + msg.body
      );
    }

You can use type==="chat" to prevent group propagation
