> wacli
Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats). Use when the user asks to send a WhatsApp message, text someone on WhatsApp, search WhatsApp chat history, sync WhatsApp conversations, backfill message history, or forward a file via WhatsApp to a third party.
curl "https://skillshub.wtf/elizaOS/eliza/wacli?format=md"wacli
Use wacli only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history.
Do NOT use wacli for normal user chats; Otto routes WhatsApp conversations automatically.
If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.
Safety
- Require explicit recipient + message text.
- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
- If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.

Send
- Text:
wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?" - Group:
wacli send text --to "1234567890-123456789@g.us" --message "Running 5 min late." - File:
wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"
Notes
- Store dir:
~/.wacli(override with--store). - Use
--jsonfor machine-readable output when parsing. - Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
- WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
- JIDs: direct chats look like
<number>@s.whatsapp.net; groups look like<id>@g.us(usewacli chats listto find).
