Echo Bot Example

This example shows the smallest runnable bot in the repository. It opens a real WhatsApp connection with BaileysEx.Connection.Transport.MintWebSocket, persists credentials and Signal keys, and echoes inbound text messages back to the sender.

Run the example

mix run examples/echo_bot.exs -- --auth-path tmp/echo_bot_auth

On the first run, scan the QR code or use phone pairing. On later runs, the saved credentials in tmp/echo_bot_auth are reused.

What it demonstrates

• loading and saving auth state with BaileysEx.Auth.NativeFilePersistence
• starting a real connection under a host-owned supervisor
• subscribing to :creds_update and incoming messages
• replying with BaileysEx.send_message/4

Source

The runnable script lives at examples/echo_bot.exs.
