I’ve been attempting to integrate WhatsApp functionality into ERPNext using a server-side script. Specifically, I’m trying to send WhatsApp messages via the Askeva API within ERPNext’s server-side environment
I have written a server-side script to send WhatsApp messages using the Askeva API. The script seems correct, but when I execute it, I encounter a NameError: name '_print_' is not defined
error.
script: def send_whatsapp_message(api_url, auth_token, message, recipient_number):
import urllib.parse
import urllib.request
import json
# Construct the payload
payload = {
'method': 'SendMessage',
'format': 'json',
'v': '1.1',
'auth_scheme': 'plain',
'isTemplate': 'true',
'msg_type': 'Text',
'msg': message,
'send_to': recipient_number,
'Authorization': auth_token
}
data = urllib.parse.urlencode(payload).encode()
try:
# Send GET request to Askeva API
response = urllib.request.urlopen(api_url + '?' + data)
if response.getcode() == 200:
print('Message sent successfully.')
else:
print('Failed to send message. Status code:', response.getcode())
print('Response:', response.read().decode())
except Exception as e:
print('Error:', str(e))
Example usage
api_url = ‘https://app.askeva.in/api/rest/send_message’
auth_token = ‘f68eb0dce6ab4797b0b65424adfe432780da2c8c9c7cf8e56556a5646f644797’
message = ‘Askeva is our WhatsApp-based Chatbot that can automate all kinds of business processes for a business in the World biggest platform WhatsApp.’
recipient_number = ‘+919988776655’
send_whatsapp_message(api_url, auth_token, message, recipient_number)
I’m seeking guidance on how to resolve this error and successfully integrate WhatsApp functionality into ERPNext using server-side scripting. Any insights, suggestions, or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated.
