The QR-Code is created by matterbridge on the terminal: It's the way WhatsApp authenticates any WA-Web session (which the bridge is using). At startup, matterbridge will prompt a QR-code for about 1 minute that you have to scan from your WA-instance (on your phone or android-VM). To scan it, go to Settings > WhatsApp Web in your WA client (if you run a VM, you may need to connect your webcam, or make a virtual one, see link above):
To setup a gateway between two protocols in matterbridge, you need to specify a channel for WA that should be bridged. The chat/group titles you see in WA won't work (e.g. from the screenshot above, "Test" won't work). Fortunately, matterbridge will complain about improper channel names and suggest the correct ones to you. In my case, it was a string of mainly numbers including the phone number of who created the group chat. Maybe there is a way to get this out of WA? (Currently, the WA example config does not explain this at all; it doesn't even mention the gateway part.)
Use tengo:
Save below snippet as myremotenickformat.tengo
if channel == "[email protected]" {
result = "[CfP #Code for Pakistan] @"+nick
}
Add RemoteNickFormat="{TENGO}" to the specific bridge
and add the following in matterbridge.toml
[tengo]
RemoteNickFormat="myremotenickformat.tengo"
