It will be available in the next release:
https://github.com/traccar/traccar/commit/0436abf3bafbfa3bb7f7b489bdf47302124a6398
OK had already seen the update, but it will be done the configuration via traccar.xml, like notifications from, firebase,telegam,sms, WEB
Yes.
What is the expected release of the new version, is the preview version stable?
Don't know when release. Preview should always be assumed as not stable.
Ok thanks
Anton, could give an example of how to set up the token in traccar.xml. thank you
The configuration should look something like this:
<entry key='notificator.types'>...,whatsapp</entry>
<entry key='notificator.whatsapp.token'>APP_TOKEN</entry>
<entry key='notificator.whatsapp.phoneNumberId'>PHONE_ID</entry>
<entry key='notificator.whatsapp.templateName'>TEMPLATE_NAME</entry>
<entry key='notificator.whatsapp.templateLanguage'>LANGUAGE_CODE</entry>
Could you please clarify:
What exactly needs to be entered for each of these fields?
Where can I obtain the APP_TOKEN and PHONE_ID?
Does this integration require a Meta / WhatsApp Business Cloud API setup?
Is there an official setup guide or step-by-step documentation available?
If possible, I would appreciate a short how-to guide or a link to the relevant documentation.
Thank you very much in advance.
It requires official WhatsApp API, so the token and other details are from there.
@Prime Tracker I just set this up in facebook developer and I found out that this is a paid service if you're using templates. If not using templates it's free but you can only send messages in a 24h timeframe after the "customer" (your phone) contacted the "business" (virtual phone number generated in the facebook meta app) so unless you don't want to send a daily "keep-alive" text message to your virtual phone number in your meta account or spending money for the whatsapp notifications it's not worth setting this up in my opinion.
@Anton Tananaev correct me if I'm wrong about the charges.
I believe it is not free. There used to be a free quota, but I think they removed it.
What's the alternative to avoid using this function?
How can I set up notifications via WhatsApp from traccar. Thank you
