whatomate

A single Go binary that fronts the official WhatsApp Business Platform, including voice calls, rather than driving WhatsApp Web.

What you need

a WhatsApp Business Platform account with API credentials from Meta -- not a personal number -- Go 1.25.0 or Docker, and a host

Gathered from the project’s own documentation on 2026-09-13. We have not verified that this list is complete.

Terms that apply

This fronts Meta’s official WhatsApp Business Platform with credentials you get from Meta, not a consumer WhatsApp account, so the acceptable-use clause that applies to personal-number automation is not the one that governs it. What does govern it is Meta’s own Business Platform terms and its messaging pricing, neither of which we read. We are not your lawyer and this is not advice about your particular use; read the terms yourself.

Receipts

What we saw ourselves, with the date we saw it.

How we checked

On 2026-09-13 we read this project’s repository metadata, its file tree and its manifest files through the GitHub API, and followed the outbound link far enough to confirm the address resolves — not that what is behind it is what this page says. That is a records check, not an assessment of the software. What we ran ourselves is linked under Receipts above; each linked receipt page names the method, the toolchain and the result. We fetched every dependency version it pins and recomputed the hash it committed, and nothing more — we did not build it. We did not run the software itself.

What the words mean here. Last commit is the date of the newest commit on the default branch, not the date of the repository’s last push to any branch. A licence name is GitHub’s own detection, not our reading of the licence file. A version floor is what the named manifest file declares, quoted from that file. A gap in months is printed whenever it is 12 complete months or more. A licence is not a price. It says what you may do with the source; it says nothing about whether the author sells a hosted tier, a paid image or support. Where this page states a cost, that is something we read and dated. Where it states none, we did not look. A README search is a literal search for one string in one file. Finding the string is not the README declaring that floor, and not finding it is not the project contradicting one. Where a receipt is linked above, the file it names may not be the file named for the version floor: the floor is read from whichever manifest declares it, while the receipt names whichever manifest the installer was pointed at. They answer different questions.

We do not republish this project’s own material — its README, code, configuration or assets. The link is where those live. What is on this page is ours: what we found, what we ran, and the date we looked.
