WhatsApp Group Access

[cgrace21]

I have a specific use case that i require a new capability to satisfy the requirements.

I live in an expat community in Costa Rica and am in charge of security. I am programming everyone with an emergency macro/shortcut that is supposed to message the Emergency Chat that is monitored by guards and neighbors. The message is pre-written and sends when the 911 shortcut is pressed on the phone homescreen.

I can accomplish most of this but can only message the guard phone for right now. It works but I would like the community to have awareness so a whatsapp group is ideal.

Thank You
Cole Grace

There is a WhatsApp send action, but it only lets you send to individual contacts so you may as well program your own UI Interactions.

I'm not sure how to manually program the UI to open a WhatsApp group and type a message like HELP - LOT 1 - COLE. I can program a bunch of individual numbers in the macro but the maintenance would be a nightmare.

I can program the app Shortcuts on iOS to message a WhatsApp Group, but haven't found the capability for Droids.

You could use launch app, then click by view id/exact text.
