WhatsApp Setup
Configure WhatsApp to send messages directly from Mindora.
Overview
Mindora uses WhatsApp Web links (wa.me) to open WhatsApp with pre-filled messages. For this to work, you need WhatsApp Web open in your browser or WhatsApp Desktop installed.
Option 1: WhatsApp Web
The simplest option - use WhatsApp directly in your browser:
Open WhatsApp Web
Go to web.whatsapp.com.
Scan QR code
Use your phone to scan the QR code.
Keep tab open
Keep WhatsApp Web open in a browser tab while using Mindora.
Option 2: WhatsApp Desktop
For a more seamless experience, install the desktop app:
Download WhatsApp Desktop
Get it from whatsapp.com/download or your app store.
Install and login
Scan QR code with your phone to connect.
Set as default
Your browser should now open WhatsApp links in the desktop app.
Browser Settings
Make sure your browser opens WhatsApp links correctly:
Chrome
When you first click a WhatsApp link, Chrome will ask which app to use. Select WhatsApp and check "Always open" to remember your choice.
Firefox
Firefox will prompt you to choose an application. Select WhatsApp Desktop and check "Remember my choice" for future links.
Safari
Safari on macOS will automatically open WhatsApp Desktop if installed. If not, it will open WhatsApp Web in a new tab.
How It Works
When you send a WhatsApp message from Mindora:
Click "Send via WhatsApp"
In the send window, click the WhatsApp button.
