Hi,

we’re working on a solution for interoperability between different messaging platforms. Users are running a matrix server internal and want to get in contact by customers via whatsapp, signal and so on but want to stay with the privacy of matrix. Does anybody have an idea about what happens to metadata created by whatsapp etc. during bridging.

    Ah okay thanks! I will give it a try soon. My hope was that its not just basically connecting accounts but it could be a way to interact with whatsapp user while not havingan separate account

    Thanks!

      That’s exactly what it is. It works just like Whatsapp Web, so when you’re connected, you don’t need whatsapp to be running on your phone at all. It’s just that to be “linked” to your account, you need a cookie which is only valid for 15 days, so every now and then, you need to refresh it.
