I just downloadede it and worked very well first try

Rodrigo Vianna, 2023-02-07

At first it didn't work for me. I sent an email to get support, although they answered fast, they asked for a WATI account to continue support. After trying to install the extension on Chrome Canary, I figured the problem was that I downloaded a bunch of similar extensions, they probably conflicted. Also you need to refresh the whatsapp tab for the extension to work. After getting it to work, I got to download a JSON with the messages. That's the only option with this extension, but it is completed, it gives me Date, Local Time, Message, User from, User to, Media Type and Media Link.

No funciona, no descarga nada y para colmo solo tiene el rango de 1 año para descargar (si descargara lo que le pido) No lo instalen, es una pérdida de tiempo.
