[Feature Suggestion] Last message doesn't update if last message was sent by the bot in autorespond function about whaticket-community HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @esteves67 , I've made some changes in wBotMesasgeListener to handle messages that was not sent from frontend app.

At the time it only works for chat messages (media messages will result in blank messages or big base64 hashes in message body), but for "auto response proposals" it works well.

Let me know if it works for you, so I can close this issue.

Hi, Steeve!

You're right, the system doesn't handle messages that not wasn't sent from frontend.

There are two files in code interacting with Whatsapp-Web.js to send and receive messages:

backend/src/services/wbotMessageListener.js: listen for received messages, store then in database, update ticket last message and send it with websockets to frontend.

backend/src/controllers/MessageController.js: receive a POST request from frontend, send message with WWebJS, store it in DB, update ticket last message and send it with websockets to frontend.

The event wbot.on("message" ,...) only listen to other people messages. To handle our own messages (sent directly from cellphone or even with WWebJS), we could use wbot.on("message_create, ...), that listen to all messages in chat, including ours. But its no so simples because it will result in duplicate messages and break other things, like file upload.

I'm currently working a better way to handle it, and I will address the solution to cover your auto response too.

Thanks for the feedback!

Again, thank you for the Whaticket Client! You made a solution for what WPP is taking ages to do (multiple users on a single phone number).

Working flawless! Now the chat is returning and showing auto-respond messages sent by my bot to the person who i am attending!

Thank your for the explanation on how the process works, it clarified for me how everything works since im not a experiencied javascript developer 😄

Hello again! 😄

Not the best approach or solution since i started in nodeJS just 1 month ago, but i think it worked for me:

• tested in localhost and just 1 person sending message to the bot
• not tested yet in a real "environment" or real situation with more than 1 person sending message at the same time,

How to: Make changes in Message.js like code bellow:
Also use wbot.on("message_create, ...) in the wbotMessageListener.js.

        /** 
         * Indicates if the message was sent by the current user
         * @type {boolean}
         */
        this.fromMe = data.id.fromMe;
        

        /**
         * ID for the Chat that this message was sent to, except if the message was sent by the current user.
         * @type {string}
         */
        if (this.fromMe == true) {
            this.from = (typeof (data.to) === 'object' && data.to !== null) ? data.to._serialized : data.to;
            this.to = (typeof (data.from) === 'object' && data.from !== null) ? data.from._serialized : data.from;
        } else if (this.fromMe == false) {
            this.from = (typeof (data.from) === 'object' && data.from !== null) ? data.from._serialized : data.from;
            this.to = (typeof (data.to) === 'object' && data.to !== null) ? data.to._serialized : data.to;
        }

        /**
         * ID for who this message is for.
         * 
         * If the message is sent by the current user, it will be the Chat to which the message is being sent.
         * If the message is sent by another user, it will be the ID for the current user. 
         * @type {string}
         */

        /**
         * If the message was sent to a group, this field will contain the user that sent the message.
         * @type {string}
         */
        this.author = (typeof (data.author) === 'object' && data.author !== null) ? data.author._serialized : data.author;

Nice job, @esteves67 ! It may work. But I wouldn't change the WWebJS code directly, since all your changes will be lost in case of an update.

I'll keep this issue open, since my plan is to support this feature soon.
