@client.event def on_message(client: NewClient, event: MessageEv): msg = event.message.conversation sender = event.info.message_source.sender

# Simple command handler
if msg and msg.lower() == "ping":
    client.send_message(
        event.info.message_source.chat,
        text="🏓 Pong! Response time: <100ms"
    )

elif msg and msg.lower() == "status":

🛡️ The Ultimate Safety Guide: 9 Rules to Avoid Bans

⚠️ Understanding WhatsApp's Detection Algorithm

WhatsApp flags accounts based on behavioral patterns, not just API calls. Here's how to stay invisible:

Rule 1: Human-Like Message Rates

❌ NEVER: Machine gun messaging

for user in users: client.send_message(user, text="Spam!") # INSTANT BAN

✅ DO: Add random delays

import time, random

def safe_send(client, jid, text): delay = random.uniform(2, 7) # 2-7 second random delay time.sleep(delay) client.send_message(jid, text=text)

Rule 2: Session Warm-Up Protocol

Week 1: Max 50 msgs/day

Week 2: Max 100 msgs/day

Week 3: Max 300 msgs/day

Week 4+: Normal operation

Implement rate limiter

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

class RateLimiter: def init(self, max_daily=50): self.max_daily = max_daily self.messages = []

def can_send(self):
    now = datetime.now()
    self.messages = [m for m in self.messages 
                    if now - m < timedelta(days=1)]
    return len(self.messages) < self.max_daily

def record(self):
    self.messages.append(datetime.now())

Rule 3: Always Use Verified Business API for Broadcasting

Critical: For >1k msgs/day, migrate to WhatsApp Business API. Neonize is for conversational automation, not spam.

Rule 4: Handle Block Events Gracefully

@client.event def on_block(client, event): # Immediately stop messaging this user blocked_jid = event.jid # Update your database: is_blocked=True logger.warning(f"User blocked bot: {blocked_jid}")

# Don't retry for 7 days
block_until = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=7)

Rule 5: Rotate IP Addresses & Device Fingerprints

Use proxies for multiple accounts

client = NewClient("bot_1", proxy="socks5://user:pass@proxy1:1080") client = NewClient("bot_2", proxy="socks5://user:pass@proxy2:1080")

Change device name periodically

client = NewClient(name=f"bot_{random_id}") # Unique per session

Rule 6: Monitor "Read" Receipts

@client.event def on_receipt(client, event): if event.receipt.type == "read": # User active, safe to respond pass elif event.receipt.type == "error": # Stop messaging this user logger.error(f"Delivery failed: {event.message_ids}")

Rule 7: Never Auto-Reply to Unknown Numbers

@client.event def on_message(client, event): sender = event.info.message_source.sender

# Check if user is in approved list
if not is_approved_user(sender):
    logger.info(f"Ignoring unknown sender: {sender}")
    return  # Silent ignore

Rule 8: Respect "Stop" Commands (Legally Required)

@client.event def on_message(client, event): msg = event.message.conversation or "" if msg.lower() in ["stop", "unsubscribe", "cancel"]: # LEGALLY REQUIRED to honor this unsubscribe_user(event.info.message_source.sender) client.send_message( event.info.message_source.chat, text="✅ You've been unsubscribed. Reply START to rejoin." )

Rule 9: Use PostgreSQL for Audit Trails

Track every message for compliance

Required in many jurisdictions

def log_message(db_conn, message_id, sender, content, direction): cursor = db_conn.cursor() cursor.execute(""" INSERT INTO message_audit (message_id, sender, content, direction, timestamp) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, NOW()) """, (message_id, sender, content, direction))

import pytest from neonize.client import NewClient from unittest.mock import Mock

@pytest.fixture def mock_client(): client = NewClient("test_bot", database=":memory:") client.send_message = Mock() return client

def test_ping_command(mock_client): # Mock message event event = Mock() event.message.conversation = "ping" event.info.message_source.chat = "123@s.whatsapp.net"

# Trigger handler
on_message(mock_client, event)

# Assert
mock_client.send_message.assert_called_once()

🎯 Advanced Use Cases & Code Patterns

Use Case 1: AI-Powered Customer Support Bot

from neonize.aioze.client import NewAClient import openai

client = NewAClient("ai_bot")

@client.event async def on_message(client, event): msg = event.message.conversation

# Use GPT-4 for intelligent responses
response = await openai.ChatCompletion.acreate(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": msg}]
)

await client.reply_message(
    response.choices[0].message.content,
    event.message
)

Use Case 2: CRM Integration (Two-Way Sync)

Sync WhatsApp → HubSpot/Salesforce

@client.event def on_message(client, event): # 1. Store in CRM crm.create_note( contact=event.info.message_source.sender, message=event.message.conversation )

# 2. Check if prospect
if crm.is_prospect(event.info.message_source.sender):
    # Alert sales team
    slack.send_alert(f"Hot lead: {event.message.conversation}")

Use Case 3: Multi-Agent Support Routing

Round-robin assignment to human agents

agents = ["agent1", "agent2", "agent3"] agent_index = 0

@client.event def on_message(client, event): global agent_index

# Check if needs human
if needs_human(event.message.conversation):
    agent_jid = agents[agent_index]
    agent_index = (agent_index + 1) % len(agents)

    # Forward to agent
    client.forward_message(agent_jid, event.message)

Use Case 4: Media Processing Pipeline

@client.event def on_image_received(client, event): if event.message.image_message: # Download media media = client.download_media(event.message)

    # Process with AI
    analysis = ai_analyze_image(media)

    # Respond
    client.reply_message(
        f"I see: {analysis.description}",
        event.message
    )

⚠️ Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

Pitfall 1: Blocking the Event Loop

❌ DON'T: Use sync code in async handler

@client.event async def on_message(client, event): time.sleep(5) # Blocks entire bot! await client.send_message(...)

✅ DO: Use async libraries

import asyncio

@client.event async def on_message(client, event): await asyncio.sleep(5) # Non-blocking await client.send_message(...)

Pitfall 2: Memory Leaks from Unclosed Sessions

❌ DON'T: Forget cleanup

def start_bot(): client = NewClient("bot") client.connect()

✅ DO: Proper lifecycle

def start_bot(): client = NewClient("bot") try: client.connect() finally: client.disconnect() # Cleanup on exit

Pitfall 3: Hardcoding Credentials

❌ DON'T: Commit secrets

client = NewClient("bot", database="postgres://admin:password123@...")

✅ DO: Use environment variables

import os client = NewClient( "bot", database=os.getenv("DATABASE_URL") )

Pitfall 4: Ignoring Message Receipts

✅ Always track delivery

@client.event def on_receipt(client, event): if event.receipt.type == "error": # Retry logic here retry_message(event.message_ids)

📈 Scalability Architecture Patterns

Pattern 1: Microservices with Message Queue

[WhatsApp] → Neonize → RabbitMQ → Worker Pool → Business Logic ↓ PostgreSQL (State) ↓ Redis (Cache)

Pattern 2: Multi-Region Deployment

Each region has its own Neonize instance

Route users based on WhatsApp number prefix

def get_client_for_user(phone): if phone.startswith("1"): # US return us_client elif phone.startswith("44"): # UK return uk_client return default_client

Pattern 3: Auto-Scaling with Kubernetes

HPA based on message queue depth

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2 kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler metadata: name: neonize-scaler spec: scaleTargetRef: apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment name: neonize minReplicas: 2 maxReplicas: 20 metrics:
