connecting bridges such as whatsapp

[aneesimran]

Hi,

I have got riot running on my domain.

Now I am unsure on how to connect the whatsapp bridge, the only change i made was in /roles/matrix-bridge-mautrix-whatsapp/defaults/main.yml

and the change was by making matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_enabled: true

as stated by a guide on matrix.org

have reinstalling and restarting my matrix server, i am not sure what is needed to do next.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You never need to edit anything in the roles/ directory.

All changes (such as matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_enabled: true) are meant to be made in your own inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml file.

We have a guide about the Whatsapp bridge in the docs/ directory - Setting up Mautrix Whatsapp (optional)

Hi,

Thanks for referring me to the guide, I have followed the instructions, but when typing in riot @whatsappbot:whatsppmatrix.cf

Nothing comes up and i cant manually add as it says user does not exist.

After adding matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_enabled: true to the correct file, have you re-ran the playbook and restarted services?

ansible-playbok ...... --tags=setup-all,start

It's only after this that you'd be able to message the bot.

Yep, I have rerun it again and double checked

this is the error i get

`Unable to find profiles for the Matrix IDs listed below - would you like to invite them anyway?

@whatsappbot:whatsppmatrix.cf: User @whatsappbot:whatsppmatrix.cf does not exist`

[spantaleev]

Try inviting them anyway.
