WhatsApp Animated Sticker Sender
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I already have a set of WebP animated stickers and a working Node.js script that posts to my WhatsApp Channel through whatsapp-web.js. The problem is that every sticker arrives as a static image.
What I need
• A clean, well-commented solution—whether by extending whatsapp-web.js or swapping in a similarly lightweight library—that delivers those same WebP files as animated stickers.
• The animation must loop continuously once received.
• A short sample function, e.g. sendAnimatedSticker(filePath, channelId), plus any required config tweaks so I can drop it into my existing project.
Nice-to-haves (optional)
• Guidance on any extra metadata or conversion steps that WhatsApp expects for looping animations.
• Tips on troubleshooting common “static instead of animated” issues.
I’ll test by sending one of my current WebP files; if it animates on both mobile and desktop clients without extra taps, the job is done.
