Please be very careful using this tool to automate your WhatsApp - if you send too many messages, too quickly, you are going to get banned.
This is NOT an officially supported api by WhatsApp and the risk of ban is relatively high

Exactly, "automate your WhatsApp/Signal/..." sounds like "use XMPP for that use case", that's my go-to for bots and notifications, it works as well if not better, and I sleep better at night.

just so we know the consequences - is ban permanent? is there an appeals processes?

The way I would put it as someone who works at Beeper is: only use messaging automations for personal use, and don't use it to spam anyone or do anything you wouldn't do yourself within the app.
As long as you don't abuse and keep your usage within the parameters of any human, you'll be fine.
