Hi, I am trying to write an article in French to introduce Matrix to a wider public. Especially non tech people.
So I'd like to describe the possibilities accurately. Bridges are a very interesting feature, but how do you implement them ?
I went to the #whatsapp:maunium.net room and only saw guys wondering the same thing with no answer given to them.
I went to https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp/wiki/Bridge-setup and understood they have to be implemented from the server itself ? Is that right ? So as a basic user I can't really make any adjustment on my side to join a Whatsapp group from Matrix, right ?
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/blob/... explains how to write them.
For adding them to a chat as a user, you need to use an integration manager (eg t2bot.io) or to run one yourself.
