A deltachat client for chatwoot, so users can talk to chatwoot encrypted.
Project description
deltawoot
A deltachat bot which acts as a chatwoot client, so users can talk to chatwoot encrypted.
Installation
You need to connect this bot to a working https://www.chatwoot.com/ instance,
from now on called example.org
.
Let's configure chatwoot first:
Configure a callback URL in chatwoot
The bot needs to be reachable via HTTP from the chatwoot instance,
and you need to enter a callback URL into the chatwoot web interface.
For this, go to https://example.org/app/accounts/1/settings/integrations
and configure a new webhook.
For example,
If the bot is running on the same docker host as the chatwoot instance,
enter http://deltawoot.internal:5000
(deltawoot.internal is the container name),
and enable the message_created
option.
Add deltawoot to chatwoot's docker-compose.yml
If you installed chatwoot via docker compose like here, you can add the deltawoot container to your chatwoot's docker-compose.yml like this:
services:
[...] # here all the chatwoot containers are defined, see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/develop/docker-compose.production.yaml
deltawoot:
image: missytake/deltawoot:latest
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: deltawoot.internal
env_file: /home/chatwoot/.env
depends_on:
- rails
volumes:
- deltawoot:/home/deltawoot/files
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:5000:5000"
volumes:
deltawoot:
Then you need to add your environment variables to an .env
file.
In the example docker-compose.yml above
it is in /home/chatwoot/.env
,
if you use a different file you should change the path.
It should look like this for example
(more on the meaning of the config parameters below):
WOOT_PROFILE_ACCESS_TOKEN=s3cr3t
DELTAWOOT_ADDR=deltawoot@nine.testrun.org
DELTAWOOT_PASSWORD=p4$$w0rD
WOOT_ACCOUNT_ID=1
Then you can start the docker container:
docker compose up -d
Config Parameters
You can get the WOOT_PROFILE_ACCESS_TOKEN
at the bottom of https://example.org/app/accounts/1/profile/settings
.
Note: after starting chatwoot, you need to give
the account you use to generate the WOOT_PROFILE_ACCESS_TOKEN
operator access to the "Deltawoot" API inbox
at https://example.org/app/accounts/1/settings/inboxes/list
.
For DELTAWOOT_ADDR
and DELTAWOOT_PASSWORD
you can use any email account.
For the WOOT_ACCOUNT_ID
,
go to the Chatwoot conversations list
where you want Delta Chat messages to pop up,
e.g. the one which appears directly after logging in.
It should look like https://example.org/app/accounts/1/dashboard
.
The WOOT_ACCOUNT_ID
should be the only number in the URL,
in this example 1
, as it is the default.
You might need it if you get a 404 error in the logs
when deltawoot tries to connect to the chatwoot API.
Extended Configuration
You can set other environment variables for configuring deltawoot, for example:
WOOT_API_URL=https://example.org/api/v1
DELTAWOOT_NAME=Your friendly Chatwoot Bridge
DELTAWOOT_AVATAR=files/avatar.jpg
DELTAWOOT_HELP_MSG="Hi, ask me for cooking recipes!"
DELTAWOOT_LEAVE_MSG="Please don't add me to groups, write me 1:1 instead."
WOOT_INBOX_ID=1
SENTRY_TOKEN=https://8sahf8dhdufs9fijis9fd@o7898929132132345.ingest.de.sentry.io/3247829357927898
WOOT_API_URL
is only needed
if chatwoot and deltawoot are running on separate hosts;
make sure chatwoot's API URL is reachable from deltawoot's host.
In such a case you also need to reconfigure the callback URL
in chatwoot's Integration settings,
the one we configured in the beginning.
DELTAWOOT_NAME
will be the bot's display name in Delta Chat.
DELTAWOOT_AVATAR
will be the bot's avatar in Delta Chat;
if you run deltawoot in docker,
you need to put it into the docker volume,
and prepend the path with files/
.
DELTAWOOT_HELP_MSG
is what the bot will say
if you scan it's invite code or
if you send /help
to it.
You can customize it in your language.
If you try to add the bot to a group,
the bot will leave the group at once,
but send the person who added it an explanation.
DELTAWOOT_LEAVE_MSG
is what the bot says
in such a situation.
By default, deltawoot creates an API channel itself.
But if you want to use an existing API channel,
you can manually set the WOOT_INBOX_ID
.
Go to the settings of the API channel you want to use
at example.org/app/accounts/1/settings/inboxes/list
,
click on the Settings,
look at the number at the end of the URL,
and add it as WOOT_INBOX_ID
.
If you want to monitor deltawoot errors with https://sentry.io,
you can specify a SENTRY_TOKEN
as environment variable.
Add Agents to the Delta Chat Inbox
Now you have to add some agents to your Inbox, so they can actually read the messages incoming via Delta Chat.
For this, go to https://example.org/app/accounts/1/settings/inboxes/list
and next to "Delta Chat",
click on the settings wheel.
Then click on "Collaborators",
add all agents you want to handle the incoming requests,
and finally click on "Update".
Publish the Invite Link for Your Bot
Now you can look into the logs
with docker logs -ft deltawoot.internal
,
to find out the join code of the bot:

Copy-paste the OPENPGP4FPR:
and everything behind it
into the form at https://i.delta.chat
to generate an invite link which you can advertise on your contact page.
Development
If you want to develop without docker, you can configure and start deltawoot like this:
python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .[dev]
export WOOT_URL=https://example.org/api/v1
export WOOT_PROFILE_ACCESS_TOKEN=s3cr3t
export WOOT_ACCOUNT_ID=1
export DELTAWOOT_ADDR=deltawoot@nine.testrun.org
export DELTAWOOT_PASSWORD=p4$$w0rD
deltawoot
You can run the tests with pytest
.
