GOWA (Go WhatsApp Web Multi-Device) exposes WhatsApp as a local REST API on localhost:3000. It supports sending text, media, polls, contacts, and locations, plus full group management including ghost mentions that notify all members without showing the @ symbol in message text.
It provides full WhatsApp functionality via REST without requiring a paid WhatsApp Business API account or third-party messaging service.
When to Use It
- Sending scheduled reminders to a WhatsApp group with ghost mentions
- Automating image or document delivery from a backend script
- Managing group participants and admins programmatically
- Pushing backend alerts or status updates to personal or group chats
- Building a WhatsApp notification layer for internal tools
