How WhatsApp and Poe work together

ConnectChats links to your WhatsApp account as a linked device, the same way WhatsApp Web and the desktop app do. Your phone stays the main device, and you can unlink ConnectChats from it at any time. Direct chats and group chats both come through, and you choose which ones your AI app can see.

Your WhatsApp stays under your control

Questions

Can Poe read my WhatsApp messages?

Yes, once you link WhatsApp in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Poe. Poe reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.

Can Poe send WhatsApp messages for me?

Poe can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own WhatsApp account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.

Is the WhatsApp to Poe integration free?

Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You add ConnectChats inside Poe and link WhatsApp from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.

Does it work with other AI apps too?

Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link WhatsApp once and use it everywhere.

Does my phone need to stay online for WhatsApp to work?

No. ConnectChats keeps receiving messages while your phone is off or out of signal. WhatsApp does sign out linked devices if the phone stays offline for about 14 days, so open WhatsApp on it from time to time. If that happens, link it again from https://connectchats.com/app.

Can it read WhatsApp group chats?

Yes. Groups come through like direct chats, with each sender's name. Every group is listed in your dashboard, and you decide which ones are shared with your AI app.

Does it work with the WhatsApp Business app?

Yes. The WhatsApp Business app supports linked devices, so it links with the same QR code or pairing code. The WhatsApp Business Platform (the Cloud API used by large companies) is a different product and is not supported.

Can I use ConnectChats with Poe today?

Yes. Add ConnectChats with https://api.connectchats.com/mcp in the MCP server or connector setting Poe offers for your account, then sign in with your passkey. The same models also use ConnectChats in Claude and ChatGPT.

Which chats can the bots in Poe see?

Only the chats you share in ConnectChats. Bots can read those chats and draft replies, and nothing is sent until you approve it.
