mautrix-whatsapp is a Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge written in Go, built on the whatsmeow library. It relays messages between Matrix homeservers and WhatsApp so users can chat with WhatsApp contacts from their Matrix client.
Use cases
- bridge whatsapp messages into matrix
- chat with whatsapp contacts from element
- self-host a matrix whatsapp bridge
- unify messaging apps in one matrix account
- puppet a whatsapp account on matrix
When to choose
- you run a matrix homeserver and want whatsapp integration
- you want a self-hosted, actively maintained bridge based on whatsmeow
- you need puppeting so each user links their own whatsapp account
When to avoid
- you don't control a matrix homeserver and don't want to rely on public instances
- you need official whatsapp api support rather than whatsapp-web protocol
- you can't accept the risk of whatsapp account bans from unofficial clients
