Settings
The group to monitor. Only groups this account is in.
Shown in the group filter. Optional.
The sheet must be shared with the service account as an Editor.
Required. Matched digits-only, so formatting does not matter.
Optional, but the join/leave values below need it.
Exactly what goes in the Status cell. Can be "1", "Yes", anything.
Only used for counting the Pending tile. Blank is allowed.
One per line. Your own phones, staff, the bot itself — anyone who is in the group on purpose but will never have a row in the sheet. They stop appearing under “Not in the sheet”, are never written to the sheet, and are never marked as having left. Formatting does not matter.
Bot WhatsApp number
Currently paired as –. Changing this deletes the current session — a WhatsApp session belongs to the account that authorised it and cannot be moved. You will need to enter a new pairing code on the new phone, and until you do, nothing is monitored.
Digits only, including the country code. No “+”, spaces or dashes.
Scheduled messages
–
| On | Name | Schedule | Next run | Goes to | Last run |
|---|
Nothing scheduled yet. Fill in the form below to add the first one.
New scheduled message
Your label for it in the list above. Never sent to anyone.
Five fields: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week.
Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on a Mac) to pick several. Select nothing to mean every monitored group — including any added later.
Sent exactly as written, newlines and emoji included. WhatsApp formatting works: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~, ```monospace```.
Use sparingly. On a recurring schedule this is the fastest way to get the bot removed from a group.
Groups this account is in
Reference only — Settings offers these same groups as a
dropdown. Copying a JID by hand is for editing
groups.json directly, which is still the only way to monitor
more than one group.
Not in the sheet 0
Joined the group, but no row carries their number.
Unidentified 0
WhatsApp gave no phone number for these members.
Failed writes 0
Queued or given up. Fix the cause, then retry.
