Wa-automate-nodejs: publishing status

Created on 8 Apr 2020 · 13Comments · Source: open-wa/wa-automate-nodejs

Feature request
I tried to send status

this code helps to get all broadcasts and user status among them

const contacts = await client.getAllContacts();
for (const contact of contacts) {
    if (contact.id.server === 'broadcast' && contact.id._serialized !== 'status@broadcast') {
        console.log(contact)
    }
}

which mean status@broadcast is also broadcast

when sending message to broadcast evrything works just greate: text, media, location etc.

we need to add ability for 'status@broadcast' as:
await client.sendText("status@broadcast", "test");
and figure out how to do that.
let me help invastigate it if you need some help

i assume we need to select background color for text status, limit video length for 15 seconds etc.
i dont see any option to do that by whatsapp web write now

PRIORITY Requires Investigation enhancement

@itzharDev is this referring to the same status in #293 (like a Snapchat story)?

Yes. That's the story I'm talking about

From my investigation, I've found some status specific attributes for text statuses:

font: '1' (1/2/3/4 etc. represent different fonts)
textColor: 4294967295 (some random number - need to find the function that converts rgb to this special whatsapp number) 
backgroundColor: 4294937228 (same)
__x_statusV3TextBg: "rgba(193, 160, 63, 255)"
