hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Hermes 0.11 still missing critical Whatsapp features [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing support for marking messages as read, using expressions in chat messages, and accessing arbitrary file types through WhatsApp may require updates to the existing gateway or messaging system.

Guidance

• Review the WhatsApp API documentation to determine if there are specific endpoints or parameters required for marking messages as read and sending expressions in chat messages.
• Investigate the file type limitations in the current implementation and consider adding support for arbitrary file types through WhatsApp.
• Check if there are any existing libraries or modules that can be leveraged to simplify the implementation of these features.
• Consider the security implications of allowing access to arbitrary file types and ensure that proper validation and sanitization are in place.

Example

No code example can be provided without more context about the existing implementation.

Notes

The solution will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the project, including the programming language, framework, and existing infrastructure.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing these features may require significant changes to the existing system, so a workaround, such as using a third-party library or service, may be a more feasible solution in the short term.
