For those of you who use WhatsApp in your automations (we use it a lot here in Brazil! - preferred communication for Brazilians) there is an open source project called EVOLUTION API!
Evolution API started as a WhatsApp controller API based on CodeChat, which in turn implemented the Baileys library. Although originally focused on WhatsApp, Evolution API has grown to become a comprehensive platform with support for multiple messaging services and integrations.
Today, Evolution API is not limited to WhatsApp. It integrates with several platforms, such as Typebot, Chatwoot, Dify and OpenAI, offering a wide range of functionalities beyond messaging. Evolution API supports both the Baileys-based WhatsApp API and the official WhatsApp Business API, with future support for Instagram and Messenger.
I have been using this project for over 1 year with extremely satisfactory results with dozens of clients.
If you need any help installing it (I use it in my Docker Portainer Swarm environment) I am at your disposal.
Good luck to all!
