wacli
Use wacli only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history.
Do NOT use wacli for normal user chats; FRIDAY routes WhatsApp conversations automatically.
If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.
Safety
- Require explicit recipient + message text.
- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
- If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.
Auth + sync
wacli auth(QR login + initial sync)wacli sync --follow(continuous sync)wacli doctor
Find chats + messages
wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31
History backfill
wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --requests 2 --count 50
Send
- Text:
wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?" - Group:
wacli send text --to "[email protected]" --message "Running 5 min late." - File:
wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"
Notes
- Store dir:
~/.wacli(override with--store). - Use
--jsonfor machine-readable output when parsing. - Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
- WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
- JIDs: direct chats look like
<number>@s.whatsapp.net; groups look like<id>@g.us(usewacli chats listto find).
