📦 WhatsApp Archive Bot

This project is a WhatsApp Web bot that automatically archives chats after replying to them using the whatsapp-web.js library and Puppeteer.

It's useful for:

• Keeping your WhatsApp interface clean
• Automatically organizing conversations you've already responded to
• Avoiding accidental re-replies to the same person

---

🚀 Features

✅ Automatically listens for incoming messages
✅ Detects if you’ve replied to a chat
✅ Archives the chat right after your reply
✅ Skips chats you haven’t replied to yet
✅ Night mode for better resources and reconnection in the automatic morning
✅ Uses persistent authentication (.wwebjs_auth folder)
✅ Console logs for every action it performs
✅ Compatible with Node.js and Docker

📸 How It Works

The script launches a headless browser using Puppeteer and connects to WhatsApp Web through whatsapp-web.js. It monitors incoming messages and, once you send a reply manually, it waits a few seconds and then archives the chat automatically.

The idea is to keep your WhatsApp clean while ensuring you don’t miss any new messages.

🛠️ Installation & Usage

You can run the bot in two ways:

---

📍 Option 1: Node.js (Local)

Step 1: Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/whatsapp-archive-bot.git
cd whatsapp-archive-bot

Step 2: Install dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Run the bot

node whatsapp-archive-bot.js

📱 On first launch, a QR code will appear in the terminal. Scan it using WhatsApp on your phone.

Step 4: Keep it running

Use a process manager like pm2 or screen if you want the bot to run in the background.

---

🐳 Option 2: Docker

Step 1: Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/whatsapp-archive-bot.git
cd whatsapp-archive-bot

Step 2: Build the Docker image

docker compose build

Step 3: Run the container

docker compose up

⚙️ Configuration

There’s no configuration file required. However, you can customize the script logic directly inside whatsapp-archive-bot.js:

• Change how long the bot waits before archiving (setTimeout)
• Add filters to ignore specific chats
• Extend to auto-respond or integrate with a database

---

📋TO-DO

• Outsourced configuration
• Memory use optimization

---

🔐 Authentication

The script saves your WhatsApp Web session in the .wwebjs_auth/ directory after the first successful login. You won’t need to scan the QR code again unless this folder is deleted.
