Unpoll

This service manages the polling layer for the WhatsApp Agent API: it handles polling, cursors, webhooks, and retries so serverless apps that scale down to zero can send and receive messages via plain HTTP requests and webhooks. Agent tokens are stored encrypted.

    “So I built Unpoll (unpoll.cc) that takes care of polling, cursor, webhooks and retries. You can simply add your agent's token which is stored encrypted and then send & receive messages by plain old HTTP requests and webhooks.”
