WhatsApp group chats

How WhatsApp group chats show up when your number is connected by QR code — who sent each message, who reacted, and what happens when your number leaves a group.

Last updated

When your number is connected with the Normal WhatsApp Web Link option by scanning a QR code, the WhatsApp groups your number is in come into Mampu AI as conversations, next to your one-to-one chats. This page explains how they look and how they behave. It applies only to QR-connected numbers, not to Official WhatsApp API. To connect a number this way, see Connecting a WhatsApp inbox.

How group messages appear

Each group is one conversation. Because many people write in the same chat, every message from a group member starts with a sender line naming their number and WhatsApp name, for example:

+60 12 345 6789 - Name:

Telling a group chat apart in the list

In the conversation list, every group chat carries a small people icon before its name, in every view. Hover over the icon to see WhatsApp group. One-to-one chats have no icon.

Showing only personal chats or only group chats

  1. In the sidebar under Channels, open the WhatsApp inbox connected by QR code.
  2. Under Mine, Unassigned and All, the row reads All, Unread, Personal and Groups. Pick Personal to keep one-to-one chats, or Groups to keep group chats.
  3. Pick All to see everything again.

The Groups tab shows only the group chats of the inbox

  • The Mine, Unassigned and All counts follow your pick, and the status chip still applies.
  • Your pick is remembered the next time you open a QR-connected inbox.
  • Unread is on the same row, so picking it shows unread chats of both kinds.
  • Personal and Groups appear only while a QR-connected inbox is open. All Conversations and other inboxes show All and Unread as usual.

Reactions

When someone in a group reacts to a message with an emoji, the reaction appears in the conversation with the same sender line, so you can see who reacted.

A reaction is marked as a reaction, not a new message:

  • Your Flow Agent doesn’t treat a reaction as a new customer message.
  • To stop reactions from starting a reply countdown, open Settings → Reply SLA, edit the SLA and turn on Ignore emoji reactions. See Reply SLA.

When your number leaves a group

When your number leaves a group, or is removed from it, the group’s conversation is resolved automatically and this note appears in it:

This WhatsApp number is no longer a member of the group, so the conversation was resolved

Resolving the conversation stops its Reply SLA countdown, so no alert is raised for a group you can no longer reply to.

Other members joining or leaving the group changes nothing — the conversation stays as it is.
