[GOWS] Reject calls (all incoming)
Discussed in https://github.com/devlikeapro/waha/discussions/1252
Originally posted by igordisco August 20, 2025 I currently have a WhatsApp number that's often used for chatbot support, and people keep adding it to groups.
Okay, the problem is that a lot of people call. It's on my cell phone, and I can't automatically reject calls via cell phone.
Other APIs have a select option called "reject call." I noticed there's no API for rejecting calls, so I don't know how it works.
But I think it would be really cool to automatically reject calls.
Just to add, other implementations allow you to set an optional message when the call is rejected.
I’ll send a code snippet soon.

This is how they do in Baileys. I hope that helps.
@devlikepro Hi! First of all, thank you for your great work on this project. I’d like to ask if there’s any plan or estimated timeframe to implement a call rejection feature, since many users have been requesting it lately.

WAHA emits call.rejected event after the call is declined.

ℹ️ If anyone needs to "automatically reject calls" with "auto-reply messages" - we'll add it as a calls app, comment +1 the issue https://github.com/devlikeapro/waha/issues/1694
