No contacts/chats appearing in matrix messenger #607
Comments
Okay now 2 chats appeared for new messages I received. They show up as direct message invite which I need to accept. So the issue seems to be that existing chats from WhatsApp are not synced. Why? In addition, messages I am sending on the official WhatsApp app do not appear on the now available 2 direct messages in matrix. Is this this feature not supported in general, or should messages sent by myself also be bridged? I had a paid element.io account for testing a while back, and it perfectly synced everything, including old messages. Contact names also were okay. Since I think its using the very same technology, I guess this must be configuration issues on my side? |
You need double pupetting to have messages sent from the official client appear in matrix. Double puppeting will also auto-accept invites for new conversations. You need to set up the bridge to auto-create both group chat and contact portals (not sure about the exact setting, but they're called something descriptive). WhatsApp sends a blob of data that allows this, but only once upon login, so just enabling won't work - you have to log out and log in again. |
I only see
Don't think they correspond to the option you were talking about? [edit] I just set this in
And then So this is the way? is there some kind of more explanatory documentation of the configuration options? To be honest, its utterly confusing for a new user. [edit2]: I also see a ton of warnings, not sure why, or if this is an issue. The bridge shows all kinds of those, and maybe more warnings:
While synapse says:
Is this normal? |
Okay it seems that everything was synced. However, for all chats, only the last 2 days show the message senders with correct name and avatar; everything older does not have an avatar, and a generic name. Why is that? |
I have just setup a synapse server & the matrix bridge using docker. Both services run fine, and the bridge can connect to synapse. The homeserver is also reachable via the internet. I can successfully connect to the homeserver from all my devices (mobile, PC, laptop) using several matrix clients.
I logged in to whatsapp using the whatsappbot's
login
command. This seemed to be successful, according to the bridge's log:However, in none of the matrix clients, any whatsapp conversation or group is appearing. I can e.g. query contacts successfully using the
list contacts
command of the whatsappbot, so the connection to whatsapp seems to work.What is wrong here? Since I failed to find a comprehensive guide for the configuration file, and the configuration consists of tons of parameters where I severely lack understanding for, I more or less took the example config, plus the mandatory adjustments.
What should I do?
