How WhatsApp works with Nilyo

Connection. Scan a QR code shown in the conversation (WhatsApp › Linked devices), or type a pairing code on your phone. The line stays linked like any other device.

What your agent can do. Contacts and chats, message history, text, media and native voice notes, reactions, groups, checking whether a number is on WhatsApp.

Pacing and safety. 20 new conversations per day with 15 seconds between them; existing chats are not limited beyond serialization.

  • “Send a WhatsApp to Julien” resolves the person among your recent chats and contacts; two matches mean the agent asks.
  • Disconnecting from the phone marks the account for reconnection; the same account is re-linked with a new QR, never duplicated.

Prompts to try

“Send a WhatsApp to Julien saying I'll be late.”
“Summarize the “Product launch” group for the last week.”
“Send a voice note to Nico with this text.”
“Is +33 6 12 34 56 78 on WhatsApp?”

Questions about WhatsApp

Is it WhatsApp Business API?

No. Nilyo links your own WhatsApp (personal or Business app) as a device, so you keep your number, your history and your contacts.

Will the agent send messages without asking?

Only when you gave the exact text and recipient; otherwise it shows the draft. Ambiguous recipients stop the send.

All WhatsApp guides

Your accounts stay under your control

Your agent only sees accounts you connect and authorize. Provider passwords are never shown, reading does not silently authorize writes, and the agent asks when several accounts or people could match your request.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Company billing never gives managers access to a member’s messages, email or calendars. You can revoke agent access or disconnect an account whenever needed.

Example questions

Give Nilyo to your agent.

Paste one setup link. Your agent can guide OAuth, account connection and the first useful action.
