Configuration
The exact Docker Compose and template configuration this template deploys.
Instructions
Whatomate
Getting started
- Deploy the template and open the app domain.
- Log in with the default admin credentials: [email protected] / admin. Change the password right after the first login.
- Connect your WhatsApp Business account: go to Settings → WhatsApp Accounts and add your Meta Cloud API credentials (phone number ID, access token). See the configuration docs.
- Point your Meta webhook to
https://<your-domain>/webhookand use thewebhook_verify_tokenfrom the generatedconfig.tomlmount (Dokploy → your service → Advanced → Mounts).
Notes
- The full application configuration lives in the
config.tomlfile mount (JWT secret, encryption key and webhook verify token are auto-generated per deployment). Edit it and redeploy to change settings. - Uploads are persisted in the
whatomate-uploadsvolume; PostgreSQL and Redis data inwhatomate-postgres-dataandwhatomate-redis-data. - Voice calling / IVR requires extra WebRTC configuration (UDP ports, public IP or TURN server). See the calling docs.
