Overview
SECURITY UPDATE AND DEPRECATION OF v1, v2, and v3!

Please update to the LATEST version when you have time. This update patched all security holes that is known until v5.1.0

I encourage all of you to upgrade of you are still using v1, v2, or v3. Old versions have many security holes and hackers usually exploit this weakness to attack your AWG site.

v1, v2, and v3 still using "legacy license key", I will deprecate legacy keys in 60 days period from now (20 July 2023).

Change license key: menu settings >> delete key. Then enter the "new license key".

IMPORTANT NEWS!

Starting v5.1.0, Buttons (replyButtons, templateButtons, and listButtons) feature will be hidden.

Whatsapp disabled this feature from their server and don't know if they are going to bring it back again in the future.

If previously you have Autoreply with buttons, you can click 'Actions' button then 'Remove button'.

Please read "Autoreply menu" documentation to create menus with numbers.

Arrocy Whatsapp Gateway is an un-official Whatsapp automation to do bulk messaging, chat bot, transactional notification, and many more. Arrocy Whatsapp Gateway strive to be ahead of other similar compatitors in term of speed and low server resource requirements.

This project is in very active development stage. You will see frequent updates.

I am very happy to see many of people using this as a way to produce monthly income by selling subscriptions to clients. You will need an Extended license to be able to do so, because the regular license do not have the features to handle the: automatically renew subscription, accepting payments by Paypal/Stripe/Mercadopago/Razorpay/Midtrans(indonesia)/Gopay(indonesia), wallet system for auto-renew, limit client messages per month, and more.

Selective Update
What is "Selective Update"?
Updating minor version of Arrocy-WG. Example from v5.0.0 to v5.0.1 / from 5.0.0 to v 5.0.2

Because of the changes are maybe a few files, it is annoying have to modify your settings or modifications after each update.

Now you can only update the files, not the whole zip.

Go to downloads folder create 2 new folders, name it "awg-v5.0.0" and "awg-v5.0.1"
Find "awg-v5.0.0-regular-extract-on-computer-first.zip" and "awg-v5.0.1-regular-extract-on-computer-first.zip" in your downloads folder. Move it to each folder you've created previously.
Extract the zip files (you will get awg-reg-admin-panel-5.0.0.zip and awg-ext-node-server-5.0.0.zip)
Create 2 more folders "admin-panel" and "node-server". Extract awg-reg-admin-panel-5.0.0.zip and awg-ext-node-server-5.0.0.zip
Download windows software called "WinMerge". Install it on your computer.
Run WinMerge and drag the folder to "1st" and "2nd" boxes. Then click "Compare"
Look for files with "!" mark. You only need to upload these files to your server.
Open https://admin-panel.com (no /public)
Restart Nodejs

Autoreply menu
Because of button messages are disabled by whatsapp recently, it is time to switch to use numbering menu.
Example: Please select language: 1. English | 2. Portuguese | 3. Arabic.
Customer just need to type the number.
Edit node server side .env. AUTOREPLY_MAIN_BACK="back, mundur"(use only lowercase letters, restart nodejs)
We are going to create level-0 (TOP) menu. Add new Autoreply from admin panel, insert keyword: 'main menu, hello, olá, مرحبًا', response: Welcome to TravelLocco. Please select language: 1. English | 2. Portuguese, then SAVE.
IT MUST BE 'main menu' in the autoreply, you can add other keyword after the comma.
Now we are going to create level-1 menus.
add new autoreply, keyword: #1, response: Please select Department: 1. Sales | 2. Brochure | main menu | back
add new autoreply, keyword: #2, response: Por favor, selecione o Departamento: 1. Vendas | 2. Folheto | main menu | back
Now we are going to create level-2 menus.
keyword: #1#1, response: Please select Continent: 1. Asia | 2. Africa | 3. Australia | 4. America | 5. Europe | main menu | back
keyword: #1#2, response: Please select destination: 1. Tokyo 5/4 nights Disney adventures | 2. Bali 7/6 nights Paradise adventures | main menu | back
keyword: #2#1, response: Selecione o continente: 1. Asia | 2. Africa | 3. Australia | 4. America | 5. Europe | main menu | back
keyword: #2#2, response: Selecione o destino: 1. Tokyo 5/4 noites aventuras da disney | 2. Bali 7/6 noites aventuras paradisíacas | main menu | back
Now we are going to create level-3 menus.
keyword: #1#1#1, response: ???
keyword: #1#1#2, response: ???
keyword: #1#1#3, response: ???
keyword: #1#1#4, response: ???
keyword: #1#1#5, response: ???

keyword: #1#2#1, response: ???
keyword: #1#2#2, response: ???

keyword: #2#1#1, response: ???
keyword: #2#1#2, response: ???
keyword: #2#1#3, response: ???
keyword: #2#1#4, response: ???
keyword: #2#1#5, response: ???

keyword: #2#2#1, response: ???
keyword: #2#2#2, response: ???

Now you get the idea. The deeper the level, the more '#' will be.
Customer do not need to type the '#', just type the number.
Example customer type 'main menu' to the bot, then customer will see welcome menu and please choose language.
Customer type '1', then customer see 5 new menus to select Continent.
Customer type '5', to select Europe.
Customer can type 'main menu' or 'back' at any level of the menu.

Data capture
WHAT IS DATA CAPTURING BOT?
This feature is like a survey bot. The bot will have a set of questions that will be asked if the bot is given a specific keyword.
When the person answers, that answer will be collected and will be summarized at the end of the survey.
WHAT CHANGES STARTING FROM V3.1.0?
Capture can be use as a universal or custom per-device (default is universal).
Now Finish message and Stop message can be different on each subject. Please look at the "Subjects" picture below!
Universal means: the structure of capture will be the same for all users. But, you do not need to enable user's webhook.
Per-device is more custom style of capture, each device can edit webhook file to get custom capture experience. Requires to enable user's webhook.
WHAT IS IT FOR?
Well, for anything related to data that you want to get from interactive conversation with the bot. Below example will be demonstrating a bot that is taking a dentist appointment from a user.


Enter keyword to start dentist booking appointment
Enter greetings
Choose buttons type
Enter YES and trigger "capture>>start>>dentist"
Enter NO and trigger "capture>>stop"
CAPTURE TRIGGERS
capture>>start>>{subject-name}
This will start a capture session with the subject-name

capture>>stop
This will stop/cancel the current capture

capture>>finish
This will stop/save the completed capture
CAPTURE MESSAGES This message will show on capture>>finish and capture>>stop
"finish": "Thank you for making appointment with Bright Dentist Office!",
"stop": "We are sorry. If you want to start again type 'capture>>start>>dentist'"
WHERE ALL THE QUESTIONS ARE FROM?


You can edit and add subjects. Example: add "survey" (don't forget the "finish" at the end of the questions)
Now you can trigger the new capture using "capture>>start>>survey"

Unsubscribe campaign
HOW TO DO THIS FROM CUSTOMER SIDE?
By default if a customer typed "unsubscribe" to the bot, the bot will save to database and never send bulk messages to that customer again.
Every bot in the same user in Arrocy-WG will not send any bulk message to that customer, this is because Arrocy-WG have the multi sender feature, if only block 1 sender, other sender can still send bulk messages to that customer.
Every bot will still be able to send message to that customer, as long sending non-bulk messages.
*Sending with phonebook with less than 10 receivers or send messages that will finished in less than 30 seconds is NOT bulk-sending.
THIS FEATURE WILL HELP YOU TO REDUCE WHATSAPP BAN
My suggestion is:
When you send out campaign, include this message at the bottom:
"Type 'unsubscribe' to remove yourself from our future campaign messages"
or you can create a button with your campaign message, put "unsubscribe" on the button id.
WHAT HAPPEN AFTER CUSTOMER UNSUBSCRIBE?
Customer's phone number will be saved in "subscriber" table with code "0", and every time you send campaign, it will be checked through this database. If found, send to this number will be skipped.
Meaning, you don't have to remove the unsubscribed customer's phone from phonebook, because Arrocy-WG will automatically skip the message to unsubscribed customers.
WHAT IF CUSTOMER CHANGED HIS MIND AND WANT TO RECEIVE CAMPAIGN AGAIN?
From customer side, just ask customer to type 'subscribe' to the bot

Wallet system (Extended)
What is wallet?
Wallet is a virtual money that is accepted inside Arrocy-WG system. You can use the wallet balance to purchase monthly subscription.
Who is "bank" user in the system?
BANK is acting like a money changer, convert the money to wallet balance. All money transactions will go through BANK only.
You can rename with standard a-z, 0-9, and underscore (No accented character allowed). Just make sure this BANK account has the user id = 2 in database.
Why BANK always have a negative number?
Arrocy-WG wallet system using a method called "balanced ledger", which means when there is a positive amount posted, then there must be a negative amount posted to make the ledger balanced.
When a CUSTOMER exchange the $100 money for 100 wallet balance, CUSTOMER will get a positive (+100) wallet balance, this will make BANK negative (-100) wallet balance.
Where the balance go to when a CUSTOMER pays for monthly subscription?
When a CUSTOMER pays 30 for monthly subsciption, it will be minus (-30) deducted from CUSTOMER'S wallet leaving CUSTOMER'S balance to (+70).
Then that (+30) will go to SUPER ADMIN.
Why not BANK the one accepting the CUSTOMER'S monthly subscription?
The reason I made the system this way because I want BANK only deal with "real money", and let "wallet" transactions be handled by other user. This will make the bookkeeping clean.
Is that mean that I can not delete/rename "admin" user too?
You can rename with standard a-z, 0-9, and underscore (No accented character allowed). Just make sure this SUPER ADMIN has the user id = 1 in database.
Can I create another admin account using different username?
Yes you can. As many as you need. You can create "adminABC" or "adminXYZ" whatever name you want.
"admin" is the SUPER ADMIN in this system, other users with admin role will be treated as EMPLOYEES.
It will be ONLY 1 SUPER ADMIN and 1 BANK in this system. Other admin accounts must report to SUPER ADMIN regarding "Offline topups".
What is "transfer" button for?
Transfer button is for wallet balance transfer. Any EMPLOYEE can initiate wallet transfer to any users in the system. This is useful for a "Offline payment" transaction. When a CUSTOMER choose for an "Offline payment" when topping up wallet, CUSTOMER must contact any admin (example: adminABC) and show the proof of bank transfer to adminABC. After proof of transfer verified, adminABC will transfer the wallet balance to that CUSTOMER'S wallet. Now that CUSTOMER can pay monthly subscription with that wallet balance.
What should I do with negative SUPER ADMIN and EMPLOYEES wallet balance?
EMPLOYEES must hand over "real money" to SUPER ADMIN, then SUPER ADMIN transfer balance to EMPLOYEES to make balance back to zero.
Now SUPER ADMIN will have a big amount of negative wallet.
SUPER ADMIN have to hand over the real money to BANK (virtually if SUPER ADMIN and BANK are the same person).
Login as BANK, do transfer to SUPER ADMIN to make wallet zero.
The negative number in BANK account is the "real money" that is going in to the system.
When is the billing cycle?
Billing cycle will be on the first day of each month at 00:00 o'clock. This will apply to all users.
How do I charge the monthly subscription if a CUSTOMER start subscription on the 6th day of the month?
For the first month CUSTOMER will pay a pro-rated monthly subscription. The calculation will be like this: (30-5) * monthly price.
If monthly price is $30, then (30-5) * $30 = $25 for the first month, then next month on the 1st day will be charged full price $30.
Is the monthly billing done automatically?
Yes, the system will calculate the first month price and on every 1st day of the month it will automatically deduct CUSTOMER'S wallet. If CUSTOMER'S wallet is not enough, then it will not be renewed. CUSTOMER must do a topup first then it will automatically renew with same package as before.
TRIAL package WILL NOT auto renew. CUSTOMER must choose a package first.
What happen if CUSTOMER does not renew the subscription?
When CUSTOMER does not renew by the end of the month, CUSTOMER account will be marked as EXPIRED and can not send any more messages, until the account renew the subscription.
