Wa-automate-nodejs: Feature request: archive/unarchive chats

[blackchineykh]

Hi Guys,

I have to admit this is the most comprehensive and structured solution ive seen written for nodejs for WA. I have been using checking out WAPI.js for python and was looking for a nodejs version and landed here. Great work!

Is the archive/unarchive feature on the roadmap? I have a long load time at startup from archived conversations on the device and want to programatically unarchive then delete when necessary

Good idea!

@github-actions run

⚡ Release! ⚡

(async () => {
function exec(cmd) {
  console.log(execSync(cmd).toString());
}

// Config
const gitUserEmail = "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com";
const gitUserName = "github-actions[bot]";

exec(`echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NPM_TOKEN" > .npmrc`);
exec(`git config --global user.email "${gitUserEmail}"`);
exec(`git config --global user.name "${gitUserName}"`);
exec(`npm i`);
exec(`npm run release-ci`);

var result = execSync(`npx auto-changelog -o ./tempchangelog.txt --commit-limit false --template ./compact-keepachangelog.hbs --stdout`).toString();

    await postComment(result);
  })();

@blackchineykh try it out and report back if it works for you. Thanks

//archive chat
await client.archiveChat('[email protected]',true);

//unarchive chat
await client.archiveChat('[email protected]',false);

[blackchineykh]

Great. Will test it out and report back

[smashah]

Great. Please note that if returns false it just means that the chat is already in that state.

//If chat is already archived, running:
const archiveJob = await client.archiveChat('[email protected]',true)
//will result in archiveJob = false

This works perfectly! Thanks a lot man. Very much appreciated. Will close this issue
