Whatsapp bot flutter #
Whatsapp bot using whatsapp web scraping
Getting Started #
We can use this library in Flutter as well as Pure dart projects , checkout pure dart_example
in repo
First launch on Desktop apps will take some time, it will download chromium files locally, using puppeteer
Usage #
Get WhatsappClient
using connect method
WhatsappClient? whatsappClient = await WhatsappBotFlutter.connect(
onConnectionEvent: (ConnectionEvent event) {
print(event.toString());
},
onQrCode: (String qr, Uint8List? imageBytes) {
// use imageBytes to display in flutter : Image.memory(imageBytes)
print(WhatsappBotFlutter.convertStringToQrCode(qr));
},
);
To use for Android/IOS, first import whatsapp_bot_flutter_mobile, then create a WhatsappClient like this
WhatsappClient? whatsappClient = await WhatsappBotFlutterMobile.connect();
We have these modules to access whatsappClient features :
WhatsappClient.chat
WhatsappClient.contact
WhatsappClient.profile
WhatsappClient.group
Use sendTextMessage
to send a text message
phone parameter can be of this format : countryCode+phoneNumber
, eg : 91xxxxxxxxxx
, or we can get phone from messageEvents in this format : countryCode+phone+"@c.us"
await whatsappClient.chat.sendTextMessage(
phone: "------",
message: "Test Message",
);
Use sendFileMessage
to send a File
await whatsappClient.chat.sendFileMessage(
phone: "------",
fileBytes: fileBytes, // Pass file bytes
caption: "Test Message", // Optional
fileType: fileType, // document, image, audio
);
To get whatsapp connection Events , subscribe to whatsappClient.connectionEventStream
whatsappClient.connectionEventStream.listen((event) {
// Connection Events : authenticated,logout,connected.....
});
To get new Messages
whatsappClient.on(WhatsappEvent.chat_new_message, (data) {
List<Message> messages = Message.parse(data);
// replyMessageId is optional , add this to send a reply message
whatsappClient.chat.sendTextMessage(
phone: message.from,
message: "Hey !",
replyMessageId: message.id,
);
});
We can listen to multiple events like this
whatsappClient.on(WhatsappEvent.EVENT_NAME, (data) {})
To stop listening to an event
whatsappClient.off(WhatsappEvent.EVENT_NAME);

For Macos , Enable outgoing and incoming connections, If getting sandbox issue , try disabling sandbox mode comment this out in macos/Runner/*.entitlements:
<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
<true/>
Should run out of the box in Windows and Linux
Web setup #
checkout web demo app : https://rohitsangwan01.github.io/whatsapp_bot_flutter
We can use browserless, Create a free account there and get API_TOKEN
from browserless, and use this url to connect : wss://chrome.browserless.io?token=API_TOKEN
Or we can run puppeteer, and get browserWsEndpoint
from there and pass into the connect method, checkout this example
then pass this browserWsEndpoint
in connect method, and also requires wppJsContent
, we can download this file from here, add this file in assets and pass like this,
await WhatsappBotFlutter.connect(
browserWsEndpoint: "BROWSER_WS_ENDPOINT_URL",
wppJsContent: await rootBundle.loadString("assets/wpp.js"),
);
We can use this on Mobile
or Desktop
platforms as well , to connect to a chrome server hosted somewhere else
If we have to access this webSocket url locally on Mobile or other platforms , we can use ngrok to expose our local Websocket url to internet

Its just initial version, I can't guarantee you will not be blocked by using this method, try to avoid primary whatsapp numbers. WhatsApp does not allow bots or unofficial clients on their platform, so this shouldn't be considered totally safe.
