#Debugging theo's whatsapp problems in peace
long garnet
okay at least web works so it's a whatsapp thing
I did see reports that some numbers make troubles, but that were like 2 so far
pliant bison
Yeah also self messaging is working too
It's just messaging others that doesn't get picked up at all
steady gate
Use telegram, it’s way better
long garnet
did you add a + before"
pliant bison
did you add a + before"
I had with and without the + just to sanity check
pliant bison
Use telegram, it’s way better
Is it just as easy to set up? I haven't used telegram in many many years
long garnet
easier
pliant bison
Oh shit, will just use that then
long garnet
you text @botfather
steady gate
It has more features
long garnet
get a token
and then you add that to your env or the config
whatsapp is hacked protcol or twilio and both is annoying
I'm about to merge MS Teams too tho ☠️

Yeah - telegram is much easier to set up, and you can throw Clawd into a group and create topics which will have isolated contexts
+telegram has an official bot api, so it works seamlessly
You message @botfather on telegram, it’ll give you the token, and you give it to Clawd to set up
- if you do do groups, just go to settings and disable group privacy for it to get all messages, not just the ones that @ it
pliant bison
Okay it saw that but didn't reply, in pairing mode
long garnet
perfect
pliant bison
Is there something I'm missing around doing pairing? I can't get messages back still on telegram
pliant bison
Where do you get that number from?
long garnet
when you text your bot in telegram
past lichen
It sends it as reply in telegram
pliant bison
I got nothing back in telegram
past lichen
You may need to write /start
long garnet
did you create a bot?
pliant bison
Yes, that's what I am dming
long garnet
did you set a token?
pliant bison
It's marking messages as read. I set the token yes
long garnet
Open Telegram and chat with @BotFather
/newbot
Copy the token and store it safely
add the token via clawdbot configure
past lichen
It's marking messages as read. I set the token yes
I know have node 22 already, but running Clawd —version just to make sure could be a good idea - I had that this morning, reading messages but not responding, downgrading to 22 and restarting the gateway did the trick
long garnet
just update the npm, i fucked that up an hour ago and did the release now again.
bun... everytime I try to get it working stuff epxlodes
past lichen
You can try and message @claudius_the_third_bot on Telegram, it’s in pairing mode to do a quick sanity check that things go through
pliant bison
I know have node 22 already, but running Clawd —version just to make sure could ...
What's the exact command**
past lichen
For me it was pnpm clawdbot -- version
pliant bison
I really need to sleep, I think I'm giving up for now after this attempt. Frustrated because everything worked fine when I set this up on another machine yesterday with whatsapp in self message mode 🙃 appreciate the effort regardles
long garnet
easy to test. run npm i -g clawdbot first so it's updated, then npm i -g clawdbot, then in a terminal clawdbot gateway ... then you see logs
pliant bison
Did I just pull a bad update? 🙃
long garnet
then it's easy to see what is wrong, if the whatsapp or telegram stuff rejects or restarts.
pliant bison
How do I most easily nuke the git clone based install?
long garnet
ah you run git or npm?
pliant bison
I did the git based, want to move to npm based
past lichen
Also clawdbot doctor should give you a full image
pliant bison
long garnet
nothing is installed, just do daemon uninstall for the launchd stuff
pliant bison
I need to go to bed like an hour ago, so sadly can't debug more rn. Will debug more tomorrow. Thank you all for the help regardless 🫡

Hey @long garnet is this related to whatsapp not working when sending messages from android, but it does when sending from web? I also ran into this telegram issue, but after reinstalling with your latest changes it worked just fine on telegram, but I'm trying to make it work on whatsapp to showcase this to my business partners that don't have telegram... any hints or ideas?!
btw, awesome work man, I've been creating something similar in the past, but what you've achieved here is just... you may have unlocked something here haha

Not aware of a bug where sending from Android is handled different than iOS.
