v2026.2.8
Release date: February 26, 2026
✨ New Features
📞 Automatic Call Rejection (WhatsApp WAHA)
Complete feature to automatically reject calls on WhatsApp WAHA channels, with chat registration and personalized message sent to the contact.
What is it for?
- Register received calls – Every received call is registered in the chat as "Call Received" (with phone icon), even when rejection is not enabled
- Reject calls – When enabled, calls are automatically rejected via WAHA API
- Send message – After rejecting, a configurable message is sent to the contact (e.g., guiding them to send a text message)
How to use?
- In the left sidebar menu, click on Channels
- Find the WhatsApp WAHA channel and click to edit
- In the "Call Settings" section, check "Automatically reject calls"
- Fill in the "Call rejection message" with the text to be sent
- Click Save
⚠️ Note: When enabling, the instance may be restarted to apply webhook changes.
Technical details
- The
call.receivedevent is now part of webhooks by default on all WAHA channels - When disabling rejection, no webhook update is needed – calls continue to be registered
- Optimization: the system checks if the event already exists before sending an update to the WAHA API
🎯 Benefits
- ✅ Complete history – All received calls appear in the chat
- ✅ Automatic rejection – Avoids interruptions and directs contacts to messages
- ✅ Personalized message – Configure the text sent after each rejection
- ✅ Fewer API calls – Pre-check avoids unnecessary webhook updates
