What is a WhatsApp meeting bot?
A WhatsApp meeting bot is an automated participant that joins a WhatsApp call on your behalf, records it, and turns the conversation into usable data. MeetStream's WhatsApp meeting bot API is the developer-facing version of that idea: instead of a manual recorder, you send a WhatsApp call link to an endpoint and a signed-in bot joins the call, captures it, and returns mixed audio, a transcript, meeting notes, a speaker timeline and video. It is, in effect, an AI notetaker for WhatsApp that any product can build on.
Meeting bots have existed for Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams for years. WhatsApp is the platform billions of people actually use for real conversations, yet there has been no clean way to record WhatsApp calls or transcribe WhatsApp calls programmatically. MeetStream closes that gap with a single, drop-in API.
What the WhatsApp notetaker captures
Point the WhatsApp notetaker at a call and you get the complete artifact set back through the API:
- Audio — clean, mixed, level-controlled recording of the WhatsApp call.
- Transcript — a full, speaker-diarized transcript of everything said, on demand or automatically.
- Meeting notes — structured notes and action items pulled straight from the conversation.
- Speaker timeline — who spoke and when, across the whole WhatsApp meeting.
- Video — the call recorded and delivered as an MP4.
- Live webhooks — signed events for every join, recording and hand-off.
How the WhatsApp meeting bot API works
The WhatsApp meeting bot API uses the same request shape as MeetStream's
Google Meet, Zoom and Teams bots, so adding WhatsApp is a one-line change — you pass a
call.whatsapp.com link instead of a Meet or Zoom link. Send a
POST to /api/v1/bots/create_bot with the meeting link and your
recording config, and the bot joins the call, records and transcribes it, and pushes status
updates to your webhook. Pull the audio, transcript, notes and speaker timeline whenever the
run is done.

WhatsApp meeting bot API vs Google Meet, Zoom and Teams
MeetStream already provides meeting bots for Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The WhatsApp meeting bot completes the set with the same endpoints, the same bot statuses, the same webhook events and the same artifact filenames. If you have already built on MeetStream, you can record and transcribe WhatsApp calls without changing your integration — just point the meeting link at WhatsApp.
