Hello all,
Require integrating the WhatsApp with ignition platform.
So, how to do it from scratch?
Does the python pywhatkit library is useful or not?
because ignition current jython version 2.7 and pywhatkit is not available in to jython 2.7.
So, how to configure?
Looks like there's an API:
It's Graph rather than REST, but you could perhaps sill use it?
In 8.3, (our upcoming release) our Twilio module is getting extended with support for Whatsapp, if you can wait for it.
Ok,
Is there currently a way to integrate with Ignition?
Is there an open-source platform that provides an API or is it possible through custom scripting?
Probably. What have you tried? The 'turn key' solution is not available until 8.3. Anything you can find in the meantime is going to take some effort on your part.
I mean is it possible to through webdev module for whatsApp integration?
You don't need Webdev for outgoing HTTP calls; you can use system.net.httpClient - you'll just have to figure out how to authenticate and make the appropriate requests to Whatsapp.
