FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package laravel-whatsapp

Laravel WhatsApp

Latest Version PHP Version

Dual-backend WhatsApp integration for Laravel — Meta Cloud API (pure PHP) + whatsapp-web.js sidecar (full personal-account access), with a polished Livewire admin UI and a single WhatsApp:: facade across both.

📖 Full documentation: kstmostofa.github.io/laravel-whatsapp

What you get

Layer What it does
Cloud API client Pure PHP. Templates, media, business profile, phone-number management, webhooks with HMAC verification.
Web sidecar (~300 LOC Node) whatsapp-web.js wrapped in a thin HTTP service. Personal-number QR pairing, groups, status, free-form messages anytime, contact lookup.
Unified facade WhatsApp::messages()->sendTemplate(...) for Cloud, WhatsApp::web('main')->messages()->sendText(...) for sidecar. WhatsApp::send($to, $body) auto-picks.
Livewire + Flux UI Drop-in admin at /whatsapp — Dashboard, Sessions+QR, Compose, Conversations (chat-bubble UI with media, edit/delete, search, sound, ack ticks), Groups, Contacts, Webhooks log, Status. Works with Tailwind, Bootstrap, or no CSS framework at all.
Eloquent models Opt-in WaSession / WaMessage / WaContact with separate-DB support via WHATSAPP_DB_CONNECTION.
Background bridge whatsapp:web:listen daemon turns sidecar SSE events into Laravel events.
Health monitoring WhatsApp::status page + php artisan whatsapp:health [--json] for CI/monitoring.

Quick install

For the Cloud API — set in .env:

For the Web sidecar — pair your phone:

Quick example

When to use which backend

Feature Cloud API Web sidecar
Personal-number QR pairing ❌ ✅
Send to / receive from groups ❌ ✅
Status / Stories ❌ ✅
Free-form messages anytime ❌ (templates outside 24h) ✅
Approved business templates ✅ ❌
Official, no ban risk ✅ ❌ (browser automation — ToS gray area)
Scalable to millions ✅ ⚠️ session-bound
No extra runtime on host ✅ ❌ (Node + Chromium)

Most apps use both — Cloud API for transactional/template sends at scale, Web sidecar for the features Cloud API doesn't expose.

UI install paths

The admin UI under /whatsapp works on whatever your app already uses:

Your app uses… Set in .env What you get
Tailwind v4 + Vite WHATSAPP_UI_CSS_MODE=vite (default) Smallest tree-shaken bundle. Add 3 @source lines to your app.css.
Anything else (Tailwind v3 / Bootstrap / plain CSS / nothing) WHATSAPP_UI_CSS_MODE=standalone Pre-compiled CSS shipped with the package, served from /whatsapp/_assets/laravel-whatsapp.css (~32 KB gz). No npm/Tailwind needed. Loads only on /whatsapp/* pages — your main app stays untouched.
No UI at all skip composer require livewire/flux Headless. Full access to WhatsApp:: facade, Events, Jobs, webhook receiver, all CLI commands.

Full setup details + dark mode + screenshots → docs site.
