About mautrix-whatsapp
mautrix-whatsapp is a Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge built on the whatsmeow library. You run it next to your Matrix homeserver, link your WhatsApp account, and your WhatsApp conversations appear as Matrix rooms that you can read and answer from any Matrix client.
It is written in Go, can be run directly or with Docker, and is actively developed. Setup and usage instructions are on docs.mau.fi, and a roadmap file in the repository lists which features are supported.
