Thank you

Weird, may be whatsapp send notification only to one device? Like Slack does
Or venom mark the message as seen automatically. I'll check and look at this

@allburov I'm having the same behaviour with NOWEB. It seems that the engine is sending "read messages" when receiving a message.

On another library, as soon as they received a message, the library was sending the read command to mark the message as seen which was causing the notifications to not come through on phones with the API.

@allburov sorry to bother you, but is there any chance this can be looked at, please?
thanks

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 "unavailable".
I'm planning to add POST /api/<session>/presence endpoint for that and test how it works.

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 turn on push notifications you need to send POST /api/<session>/presence request with the payload

{
  "presence": "offline"
}

Keep in mind that push notification is not compatible with "being always online" #121

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"
}
