# WhatsApp Java Bot

On [GitHub](https://github.com/Whapi-Cloud) you can find an implementation of a simple WhatsApp chatbot that demonstrates the basic functionality of sending and receiving messages of different types and working with groups. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Using this source code will allow you to customize the bot to your needs or take it as a basis for creating any other integration. 
{% endhint %}

## Bot's source code

**Basic Version (for Beginners)**\
This version is ideal if you're just starting with bot development. The bot responds to commands with text messages and image sharing, allowing you to focus on the core functionality without being overwhelmed by unnecessary features.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.whapi.cloud/help-desk/source-code/whatsapp-chatbot/whatsapp-java-bot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
