RISING

0.0K+ USING

wacli

Use

wacli

only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history. Do NOT use

wacli

for normal user chats; Clawdbot routes WhatsApp conversations automatically. If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.

Safety

Require explicit recipient + message text.
Confirm recipient + message before sending.
If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.

Auth + sync

```
wacli auth
```
(QR login + initial sync)
```
wacli sync --follow
```
(continuous sync)
```
wacli doctor
```

Find chats + messages

wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"

wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>

wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31

History backfill

wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --requests 2 --count 50

Send

Text:

wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?"

Group:

wacli send text --to "1234567890-123456789@g.us" --message "Running 5 min late."

File:

wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"

Notes

Store dir:
```
~/.wacli
```
(override with
```
--store
```
).
Use
```
--json
```
for machine-readable output when parsing.
Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
JIDs: direct chats look like
```
<number>@s.whatsapp.net
```
; groups look like
```
<id>@g.us
```
(use
```
wacli chats list
```
to find).
