Hello! Is advanced buttons working on Multi-Device WhatsApp Business numbers?

[smashah]

Yes

[cleancode98]

Thanks! Thinking of purchasing the license, can you please clarify if the wapi.B() depends on Baileys package? Or is it an standalone implementation that relies on whatsapp web native code?

[smashah]

@cleancode98 B uses the internal session websocket to attempt to send raw payloads so it functions similarly to Baileys but just VIA the existing session. Baileys is not a dependency.

Are these Button Messages unlocked when purchasing a license?

[smashah]

Yes

Hello, I was using sendListMessage function till end of May but now when I renewed my subscription, it is not working.

[infiniziconsulting]

Is it possible to tell us how to remove licence restriction so that we can use the complete code without any hiccups?
