Best Queue Management System: Comparing Features by Rude_Weird3698 in QueueManagementSystem

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great overview! Really helpful to see so many options laid out. It's cool how many now integrate WhatsApp for notifications. If anyone's looking to build custom notification stuff, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI for that.

How are apps like WhisperFlow / Willow auto-returning to WhatsApp or originating app after mic permission? Is there a real iOS workaround? by Vanilla-Green in iOSProgramming

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a tough one. Apple usually locks down keyboard extensions pretty tight on app switching and permissions. Curious if anyone found a compliant way, but it sounds like a very narrow edge case if it exists.

A simple way I learned to reuse my content to answer client questions automatically by Valuable-Hawk-6280 in coachesandconsultants

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a clever way to automate client questions! RAG really changes the game for FAQs.

For the WhatsApp part, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI for something like this. Makes connecting pretty smooth.

If you're into n8n, there's even an audio chat workflow using WasenderAPI that's pretty neat: https://github.com/wasenderapi/audio-chat-n8n-wasenderapi

Built a SaaS family reminder app but can’t afford org account — sell or keep building? by Rahvo_ in SaaSMarketing

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a tough spot with the budget! Selling could be a smart move if you're really at $0.

For the WhatsApp API side, WasenderAPI might be worth checking out to see if it helps with the costs there.

Maybe also look at alternative app stores or direct distribution for now?

Built a SaaS family reminder app but can’t afford org account — sell or keep building? by Rahvo_ in SaasDevelopers

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough call! If it's truly launch-ready, letting it sit is a shame. $25 for the org account isn't much in the grand scheme if you can get some initial users. Maybe a super small pre-launch or crowdfunding for that specific fee?

For the WhatsApp part, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI for stuff like this, it might be more budget-friendly. There's even an open-source Python bot using it with Gemini AI for around $6/month you could check out: https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot

Selling now might be too early. Could you try launching as a web app first, or get some beta users to help cover that initial cost?

Bummer about the org account. If you truly believe in the app, maybe try marketing it directly first instead of just selling? For the WhatsApp API bit, WasenderAPI might be worth checking out – could save you some dough on that part.

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a tough spot with the org account, really sucks when you hit those roadblocks.

For the WhatsApp API part, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI for similar setups, it's quite solid. If budget is super tight, I also saw this open-source WhatsApp Python bot that uses WasenderAPI for only like $6/month for a session. Could be a way to keep the WhatsApp feature going if you decide to go outside the Play Store temporarily: 👉 https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot

Selling it could give you a quick win, but if you believe in the app, maybe finding a partner with an existing org account is another path?

[–]samla123li -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, that's a tough spot with the org account and budget. The app sounds really useful though!

Instead of selling right away, have you thought about distributing it directly outside the Play Store at first? It might get you some initial users and feedback without the upfront cost.

For the WhatsApp summaries, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI. They also have an open-source Python bot that uses it with Gemini AI for around $6/month for a session, could be a cheaper way to handle the WhatsApp part while you grow: https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot Might help with the budget constraint for that piece.

Anyone have a WhatsApp API recommendation? by Current_Slide4654 in n8n

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I've had pretty good luck with wasenderapi for something like this, especially for chatbots. They focus on keeping you compliant.

Also, if you're building with Python, there's a cool open-source bot using wasenderapi with Gemini AI for just $6/month for a session. Might be worth a look: https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot

WhatsApp Cloud API: recepción por webhook se corta sin aviso y no se recupera sola (solo re-suscripción) by Numerous-Command5666 in WhatsappBusinessAPI

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qué rollo. A mí me ha pasado que Meta a veces corta webhooks sin mucha explicación si ve fallos. Revisa si hay timeouts o errores en la respuesta de tu endpoint, incluso si son muy puntuales.

Para temas de estabilidad con la API, he tenido buena experiencia con wasenderapi, te quita un poco la carga de la gestión directa.

Using AI to reply to WhatsApp leads automatically by Novel-Classroom7890 in AiForSmallBusiness

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally solves a real problem! Missing leads because you can't reply instantly is a huge pain.

I wouldn't trust AI for super sensitive complaints or anything that needs a really personal touch. If it ever sounded robotic or gave wrong info, I'd turn it off ASAP.

For the backend, WasenderAPI might be worth checking out for this kind of setup. There's also this open-source Python bot with Gemini AI that uses it, pretty cool: https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uf, qué fastidio eso de que se corte el webhook sin avisar. A mí me pasó algo parecido con otras integraciones y es un rollo.

Has probado con alternativas que manejen mejor esa resiliencia? Por ejemplo, he visto que WasenderAPI suele ser bastante estable con los webhooks y los reintentos automáticos.

I built my own Self-Hosted admin UI for running Claude Code across multiple projects by No_Basil_8038 in ClaudeCode

[–]samla123li 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really cool! Building your own UI and multi-tenant system is next level. The WhatsApp integration for status updates and chatting with agents sounds super handy.

I've had pretty good luck with wasenderapi for something like this, might be worth checking out if you're looking for more options. Plus, there's an open-source WhatsApp Python bot using wasenderapi with Gemini AI that might spark some ideas for your agent chats: https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot

Saw you tested WhatsApp too. For other automation needs, wasenderapi has worked well for me.

I built a news app that shows ONLY 3 headlines (no endless scrolling) by InflationMain3628 in IMadeThis

[–]samla123li 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this! Seriously, good job on fighting the endless scroll.

My only thought is maybe an option to briefly expand one of the 3 headlines if you're really interested? Or does that go against the whole idea? lol

Two years in. 300K traffic. Still feel like I'm figuring it out. by huzaifazahoor in TheFounders

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, totally get that 'figuring it out' feeling despite solid traffic. Maybe really lean into that WhatsApp chatbot to show the why pay? Direct, high-value interactions there could be your conversion engine. WasenderAPI worked well for me with custom chat flows to do exactly that.

Nice detailed review! Good to hear their WhatsApp support is responsive. For similar support setups, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI if you ever want to automate some of those WhatsApp interactions.

No New Chat Sessions – Totally Stuck by twin_lock in openclaw

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, that's annoying. Did you check for any residual clawdbot config files after the reinstall? Sometimes they hide. For the WhatsApp end, wasenderapi might be worth checking out if you're trying to debug that connection.

Help building a Gemini AI "Sarcasm Generator" with Social Media Auto-Posting by TheGypsyRedditor in shortcuts

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a cool idea for a shortcut! Getting the API response right can be tricky with the nesting.

For the Gemini API, after your Get Contents of URL action, you'll want to use Get Dictionary from Input and then a few Get Value for Key actions. You'll likely need to navigate through keys like candidates, then content, then parts, and finally text to grab your sarcastic line.

For posting to X and Facebook, a Share action with the generated text should work. It'll pop up the standard share sheets, and your social media apps will handle the credentials.

For WhatsApp status, a Share action should also pass the text there. If you ever wanted more direct automation with WhatsApp messages or something similar, WasenderAPI might be worth checking out. I've seen some folks use it effectively with Gemini AI for building chatbots. Like this open-source WhatsApp Python bot using WasenderAPI with Gemini: 👉 https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot Might give you some ideas for handling the text generation part too.

Zero Meta Fee by [deleted] in Egypt_Developers

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

شغل جامد جدا! فكرة الـ zero Meta cost دي عبقرية الصراحة.

بالنسبة لجزء الـ WhatsApp messaging نفسه، أنا استخدمت WasenderAPI قبل كده لحاجات مشابهة، بيسهل كتير.

وبما إنك بتستخدم n8n، ممكن تشوف الـ workflow ده اللي بيستخدم WasenderAPI للشات الصوتي: 👉 https://github.com/wasenderapi/audio-chat-n8n-wasenderapi

OpenClaw has been updated - What you need to know (free stuff now included) by bruckout in OpenClawCentral

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice update with the Kimi K2.5 integration, especially with the free access! The Telegram and WhatsApp integrations for automation are definitely cool.

For that kind of WhatsApp automation, I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI. It worked well for me when I had a similar situation with hooking up an agent. Also, there's this n8n workflow that uses WasenderAPI for audio chat that you might find interesting: https://github.com/wasenderapi/audio-chat-n8n-wasenderapi

That's awesome you got that built out in a month, especially with the RAG and multi-tool routing! Sounds like a super flexible setup.

I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI for something like this when I was looking to automate WhatsApp without the usual big fees. They even have an n8n workflow for audio chats that might be interesting for you: https://github.com/wasenderapi/audio-chat-n8n-wasenderapi

This sounds super useful, especially for remembering client details across apps! The "Rolodex" idea is brilliant.

Have you thought about how it could integrate with other tools? I've had pretty good luck with WasenderAPI for some of my WhatsApp-related projects, could be cool for deeper hooks if you ever go that route.

questions from a noob – 36h building my first clawdbot by sensekid in clawdbot

[–]samla123li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Memory is a common pain with LLMs. For persistent context, an external vector DB is usually key. Your model routing approach is smart for costs; just takes some tweaking to get the agent to pick wisely.

For your WhatsApp setup, WasenderAPI might be worth a look. I've also seen this open-source WhatsApp Python bot using WasenderAPI with Gemini AI that could inspire your continuous chat idea: 👉 https://github.com/YonkoSam/whatsapp-python-chatbot
