The fabricated-chat tool seeds realistic-looking WhatsApp conversations into your inbox on demand. Use it for:
- Demos — show your kanban / CRM / pipeline to a client without exposing real customers
- Screencasts — record marketing videos with a populated inbox
- Bot / automation testing — trigger first-message rules without bothering anyone
- Internal training — onboard new team-mates on a clean demo environment
Everything lives locally in your Dexie database + WhatsApp's in-memory store. Nothing is sent over the wire. The fake chat survives until you wipe it.
How it works
Each fabricated chat is a 5-message thread with:
| # | Direction | Time offset | Default body |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | inbound | -10 min | "Hi" |
| 2 | outbound | -8 min | "Hello! Yes, here." |
| 3 | inbound | -6 min | "Are you there?" |
| 4 | outbound | -4 min | "Got it, thanks." |
| 5 | inbound | -2 min | "Please reply." |
Result: 3 inbound, 2 outbound → unread badge of 3 appears next to the chat in the inbox. The chat behaves exactly like a real one — you can tag it, drag it into the kanban, fire auto-replies on it, even reply for real (but obviously the "recipient" doesn't exist).
Generate a fake chat
- Open the Effess dock → Tools → Fake chat.
- Click + New fake chat.
- Optional: customise the contact name, phone (any digits, doesn't need to exist), and the 5 message bodies.
- Click Spawn.
The chat appears in your WhatsApp inbox within ~1 second, with the unread badge already showing.
Spawn many at once
For populated demos, use Spawn N to generate 10–100 fake chats with auto-generated names and bodies. Useful for showing what a busy CRM looks like.
Wipe
Tools → Fake chat → Wipe all fake chats. This removes the Dexie rows and tells WhatsApp's store to drop them. No trace, no leftovers.
Limits
- Fake chats are local-only — they do not exist on WhatsApp's servers. If you log out and back in on a different device, they vanish (they're a local illusion).
- You cannot send a real message to a fake number. If you try, it gets dropped with a console warning.
- Don't use fake chats for serious bot-development that needs real network round-trips — use a second test WhatsApp number for that.
Why this matters
Other WhatsApp tools require you to use real customer data when demoing the product. Effess is the only extension that gives you a safe, isolated, throwaway demo environment — perfect for sales calls, screen recordings, and prototyping.
