WaHa Pro - Show always online?

[Jolloniego]

Is there a way to set a waha bot to always appear online?

Could not find it in the docs.

Hi! Right now it's not possible, but we'll look at this!

Hi! There's a new endpoint in the latest WAHA Plus version 2023.7.12, we'll add it in the next release in WAHA Core.

To set your status as "online", you send a POST /api/<session>/presence request with the body:

{
  "presence": "online"
}

I haven't tested how often you should send it, usually state works for about 10-25 seconds, after that time you'll probably have to send another request for that.

Keep in mind that being always online will turn off your push notifications from the device #28

Presence

Possible presence statuses that you can set or get for chats:

• online
• offline
• typing
• recording
• paused resets the chat presence after you were typing

Endpoints

Set presence

You can set your global or chat-related presence with POST /api/{session}/presence endpoint

Start typing to a chat (you can use POST /startTyping instead)

{
  "chatId": "111111111@c.us",
  "presence": "typing"
}

Clear "typing" state (you can use POST /stopTyping instead)

{
  "chatId": "111111111@c.us",
  "presence": "paused"
}

Set global "online", all contacts will see it

{
  "presence": "online"
}

💡 In the multi-device version of WhatsApp - if a desktop client is active, WhatsApp doesn't send push notifications
to the device.
If you would like to receive said notifications - you need to mark a session's presence as offline.

{
  "presence": "offline"
}
