Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Meta Business API?No. The bundled Node.js sidecar speaks the WhatsApp Web protocol directly. Scan the QR with the same phone you'd normally use. No Meta approval, no business verification, no fees. |
Will WhatsApp ban my number?Not if you respect WhatsApp's ToS (no spam, honour STOP, throttle bulk). Use a dedicated WhatsApp Business number for outbound campaigns. Built-in blacklist + auto-STOP keyword detection helps you stay compliant. |
Multi-database / multi-company?Yes — both. Sessions are namespaced by <dbname>_<account>, so two databases share one sidecar without colliding. 10 record rules scope every account-linked record by company. |
Will it survive Odoo upgrades?Versioned migration scripts under migrations/<version>/ handle column adds and table creation, plus a post-migrate sanity check. 35 unit tests catch regressions on each release. |
What about my customer data?Self-hosted. The Node.js sidecar runs on your Odoo server. Messages flow directly between your server and WhatsApp's network. No third-party gateway, no SaaS in the middle, no message body ever touches our servers. |
Does it work with Odoo Community?Yes — Community and Enterprise. Odoo's built-in WhatsApp module is Enterprise-only. This addon depends on mail and phone_validation, both of which ship in Community. |
Can I extend it for my workflow?Pluggable everywhere. Slash commands are records you can add. Notification rules trigger on any mail.thread model. Quick reply templates use {{var}} placeholders. Standard Odoo extension patterns throughout. |
What if I need help?Email the developer directly — not a queue, not a chatbot, an actual human. Bundled SETUP_GUIDE.md walks through install, sidecar, QR, and first campaign. |
