What they did
Author lendersonmacedo connected Grok Bot to their WhatsApp by scanning the WhatsApp Web QR code, without any API development.
How it went
According to the author's report, Grok Bot does more than read messages: it recognizes contacts, tracks who is waiting for a reply, reminds when follow-up is needed, and drafts replies to send. The author notes this is exactly the stuff they always forgot. (author_report)
Worth knowing
The author is extending this setup into a CRM inside WhatsApp with scheduled follow-ups ('turning it into a CRM inside WhatsApp, with scheduled follow-ups'), but this extension has not been reported as complete. Grok Bot's actual permission scope depends on xAI's official implementation and may change with product updates; verify its accessible data range on first use.
Steps
Open WhatsApp Web and authorize Grok Bot
Open web.whatsapp.com in your computer browser and log in by scanning the QR code with your phone. In the Grok Bot interface or settings, find the option to connect WhatsApp and complete authorization as prompted (source describes 'just WhatsApp Web and a QR scan', no API development).
Verify Grok Bot can read contacts and messages
After authorization, ask Grok Bot about recent WhatsApp messages or contact status to verify it can recognize your contacts and conversation content. Source reports: 'It knows my contacts, keeps track of who's waiting on me'.
Use follow-up reminders and reply drafting
Have Grok Bot track pending replies, receive reminders when follow-up is needed, and ask it to draft reply content for your review before sending. Source reports: 'reminds me when I need to follow up' and 'replies it drafts for me to send'.
