Ideas don’t wait for you to be at your desk. The Wholana WhatsApp bot is a capture channel for the moments in between: you’re scrolling TikTok on your phone, something stops you, and you send it to Wholana before it’s gone.

​
What the bot does

Anything else you send gets the help reply, so no message is ever silently dropped.

​
Connecting your number

Connecting is inbound-first: you message the bot, so there is no typing your number and no one-time code that expires before you use it.
1

Open the WhatsApp card

Go to Settings and find Wholana on WhatsApp.
2

Message the bot

Tap Get my code on WhatsApp. It opens a chat with link prefilled. Send it, and the bot replies with a 6-digit code.
3

Paste the code

Back in Settings, paste the code and choose Connect. The message you sent is the proof the number is yours.
Once connected the card shows your masked number and a Start chat on WhatsApp button.
You can talk to the bot before connecting. It will ingest a link you send, but it cannot file it into your swipe file until it knows who you are, so it replies asking you to send link first.

​
Where captures land

By default captures go to your personal workspace. If you belong to more than one, choose the target in two places:
  • In Settings, the Captures go to picker on the WhatsApp card.
  • In the chat, send workspace and tap a workspace from the list.
Both write the same setting. Links land in that workspace’s Inbox collection, drafts land on its Scripts board.

​
Entry points in the app

  • Sidebar: a Save from your phone card prompts you to connect. It tucks away once you are set up.
  • Dashboard: a capture card gives connected users a one-tap Start chat, and everyone else the connect flow.
  • Empty states: when your Scripts board or Swipe file is empty, a prompt reminds you that you can fill it from your phone.

​
Notifications

Once connected, Wholana can reach you on WhatsApp when something is worth a nudge, such as a verdict landing on a posted video or a breakout in a Lens you set alerts on. Its replies deep-link back into the app.
If the bot does not reply within a minute or two, message contact@wholana.com. WhatsApp delivery depends on Meta-side approval of the sending number, and we can check whether yours is reaching us.
