Wa-automate-nodejs: Feature: External Webhook

[jersonjunior]

Is it possible to forward messages, audio video, gif, stickers, to an external webhook?

Webhooks won't be implemented as part of the library any time soon. You can edit server.ts and make a PR to show how to set up webhooks easily though.

I'm trying to run server.js, but this error always occurs:

ts-node server.ts

I found a Webhook implementation using your project as a base:: https://github.com/joaomirandasa/whats2api/blob/master/modules/whatsapp.js

@jersonjunior the reason the webhooks arent built in is because I don't know which wevhooks you would want to subscribe to.

I made this demo and you can edit it as you like. It literally cannot be made any easier
