# Setting up Mautrix Whatsapp (optional)
2018-10-24 16:12:24 +00:00
The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-whatsapp](https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp) for you.
2018-10-24 16:12:24 +00:00
See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/index.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
2018-10-24 16:12:24 +00:00
Use the following playbook configuration:
```yaml
2018-10-24 16:12:24 +00:00
matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_enabled: true
```
## Set up Double Puppeting
If you'd like to use [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.
### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
**Note**: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging (see [Usage](#usage)).
When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. You can use the following command:
```
curl \
--data '{"identifier": {"type": "m.id.user", "user": "YOUR_MATRIX_USERNAME" }, "password": "YOUR_MATRIX_PASSWORD", "type": "m.login.password", "device_id": "Mautrix-Whatsapp", "initial_device_display_name": "Mautrix-Whatsapp"}' \
https://matrix.DOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login
```
- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
- make sure you don't log out the `Mautrix-Whatsapp` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
## Usage
2019-02-28 09:51:09 +00:00
You then need to start a chat with `@whatsappbot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
