WhatsApp Plugin

Pair a WhatsApp account with Chetty so the bot answers direct chats and groups, transcribes voice messages and can manage groups.

Where to find it

Install the plugin in Settings → Available plugins and open its detail view. Its Pairing panel has a tab of its own, and the rest of the settings sit beside it.

Installing, enabling, disabling or reconfiguring the plugin takes effect after Chetty restarts. Per-chat choices such as the model apply immediately.

Only an administrator can install, enable or configure this plugin. WhatsApp uses the linked device's saved session, so while the account is not paired the plugin's tools return an error instead of sending or reading anything.

Check the plugin manifest and the marketplace for the compatible core and shared API versions before updating. The core you run must contain every host feature the plugin uses.

Pair and connect

  1. Install and enable the plugin.
  2. Open the Pairing panel and select Pair device.
  3. Scan the QR code with WhatsApp → Linked devices → Link a device.

Read Pair a WhatsApp account for the pairing code by phone number, the connection state and how to unpair.

Voice messages

Send a voice message and Chetty transcribes it, then answers with text plus a voice note. Voice must be enabled in Chetty, and the sender needs a linked account with voice permission and room under its spending limit.

Read Voice messages.

Connection and access

Replies and media

The bot edits one progress message while the agent works and sends the answer once at the end. Each chat has its own conversation, model and reasoning level, and /new starts a fresh conversation there.

Read Replies, questions and media for every setting and the limits on images and files.

Tools and permissions

The plugin provides six tools: two for browsing groups, one for sending messages and three for creating a group and changing its members. There is no raw API tool.
