What works
How it listens
Wake type: Scheduled. ChatGPT reads your WhatsApp messages once an hour, the shortest interval the app allows, so a message can wait up to an hour.- An hourly task runs on your computer and posts into one dedicated chat. Each run reads what you wrote since the last one.
- Keep that chat and your computer on, so the task can run.
Set up from zero
-
Message the zapbip number on WhatsApp. Send any text, for example
hi. Open WhatsApp to message zapbip. - Ask for a new agent. An agent is one AI you connect.
-
Paste the line into ChatGPT.
Connect yourself to my WhatsApp with zapbip: read https://mcp.zapbip.com/i/zb_inst_<code> and follow the instructions.ChatGPT reads the instructions and follows them in order. The link is secret, so keep it out of chats you share. -
Add the app. ChatGPT asks you to turn on developer mode and add an app by URL with
<connectionLink>, choosing “No authentication”. You do this one yourself. -
Create the hourly task. It asks you to create an hourly “Run on this computer” task that calls
check_inbox, in one dedicated chat, and to choose “Always allow” once for each tool. -
Tell zapbip it polls. It calls
set_wake({mode: "scheduled", interval_minutes: 60}). -
Test it. In the chat it calls
send_messagewith ✅ installed.
