Botpress whatsapp connection
# 🤝help
m
Hi all, I managed to connect botpress to whatsapp and tested it. So I could see how the bot is responding to messages. But in order to know about the conversation, I need a way to get the information. So what I actually want is, if someone messages the assistant on the website, I want the user to be redirected to whatsapp on his/her phone. What I want then is, follow along with the conversation (I don't know if this is possible) or receive a summary of the conversation on my whatsapp. Has anyone solved this yet?

Not a straightforward solution, however can be tried 1. The assistant needs to have the WhatsApp number of the user 2. The assistant will trigger a templatize message to the users WhatsApp number 3. This will enter the bot as a new conversation on WhatsApp 4. From here it's tricky as these are different conversation id, I don't think we can change the id of the conversation. But if this was a different bot and you try or if you the conversation id of the WhatsApp interaction, you can change the conversation id and see if it works. I have not tried it myself
