Hi Lulian, I have already started the initial effort required to work on the feature. I usually take a good enough time in the design phase to make sure that I’ve got the idea right. I will post my own version of the proposal once I’ve got the idea right and let everyone know that I am starting development.
It’s great that you have put a good amount of bounty into it, I appreciate it, but can I ask where and to whom?
If I end up integrating WhatsApp into the chat system of frappe, I would assume it would be a lot more work than expected.
I would have really liked to use BountySource or IngieGoGo or something similar, however, such crowdfunding services do not support my country.
I would like to gather both, more funds and development effort if possible. If anyone is interested in working together, I’d love to discuss that.
Indeed Federico has moved quite promptly with everything so it would be good to follow him and all of contribute with everything we have to make this happen
Personally, I don’t see the use of WhatsApp in the erpnext chat, my employees, clients and suppliers will never user it.
Well, for good reason Frappe and the code maintainers decide what code is admissable.
Here there’s the question of one or two validation tests - to prove and demo the integration works as expected. When the inevitable change breaks something, tests help detect and inform when that occurs.
Test infected pays rich long term dividends in product quality and maintainable code. For learning too, they point the way so anyone who wishes can adapt and grow this as they please and contribute back.
Will the current SMS functionality get affected? We have automatic SMS notification ongoing - and need to ensure that existing functionality is not broken. Appreciate clarification. Thanks.
Hi, we can not ensure that the functionality will be included in the core but we will do the job required in order to accomplish all the requirements that are needed in this type of contributions.
The @Mohammed_Redha opinion is valid, if the community and frappe team consider that part of the functionality must be in frappe we will make the necessary changes.
This type of submission are prone to require certain amount of time and changes before get merged so we must have a little bit of patience
@palashjhabak Custom Scripts. I have suggested / requested a feature - Notification channel similar to Email on this forum. Did not get any feedback / interest from users or developers.
