hey,
I have used telegram bot as a trigger, so I create telegram bot and then I send message to it and then it responds to me like a memory bot or sending email via telegram etc, but how can I use whatsapp like telegram bot?
since if i keep webhook as my trigger for whatsapp, i receive many messages from other people how will it know to handle my workflow when a message comes to my number?
regards
Rajiv
There should be a field call from or something similar to tell you
who is sending message to you.
So you can use a IF or Filter node to capture the number you need only to trigger the rest of the workflow.
ok so that means the webhook will continuously firing since I will be receiving many messages from many people and just for the information I am using evolution api, so my question is , is it ok if webhook keeps on firing through out the day?
If you are using n8n cloud plan. It will cost the execution a lot.
But if you are using n8n community edition and self-hosting on somewhere. Then it should be fine.
Yes I am using self hosting on my hostinger vps, so is it ok? and also using evolution api which is actually unofficial so I hope thats ok?
I didn’t use the API so not sure. From the content my first guess is it should be fine.
Unless the pricing is charging based on how many times it send webhook to you.
Nah, I have also self hosted evolution whatsapp api, so its free for me.
