## What it is
Sulla is a JavaScript/TypeScript library providing a high-level API to control WhatsApp via Puppeteer, enabling automated responses and message handling. It is now in maintenance mode, with the author recommending actively maintained forks like Venom, WPPConnect, and open-wa.

## Use cases

- automatically reply to whatsapp messages
- send whatsapp notifications from a script
- scrape whatsapp message data
- create a whatsapp support bot
- automate whatsapp group messaging

## When to choose
- you need a simple Node.js API to automate WhatsApp messaging
- you want a lightweight Puppeteer-based WhatsApp controller
- you're maintaining an existing codebase already built on sulla

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use maintained forks like Venom or WPPConnect instead
- you need official WhatsApp Business API compliance
- you need long-term support and active bug fixes
