# Setting up Mautrix Whatsapp (optional)

The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-whatsapp](https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp) for you.

See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp/wiki) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

Use the following playbook configuration:

```yaml
matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_enabled: true
```

You then need to start a chat with `@whatsappbot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
Annotate certain features as optional/advanced We've had some people get confused into installing Matrix Corporal and having pain with that. With this documentation change, we try to make it clearer that it's an advanced feature not to be touched unless you know what you're doing. On a similar note, we also make sure other things are properly labeled as "(optional)" and/or "(advanced)". 2018-11-26 05:23:42 +00:00			`# Setting up Mautrix Whatsapp (optional)`
