Whatsapp Notifactions (Popup- NO sound) for single contacts?

[Cozynezz]

Hey guys, it is possible, to receive pop message notifications only for specific contacts in my friendlist?

Ferdium is only showing the http://web.whatsapp.com site when speaking about whatsapp. Nothing fancy other than that.

Consequently, if such a feature (more personalized notifications) is supported by the web ui of the said service/site, Ferdium will automatically support it. So, in effect, the answer to your question is "No".

okay thank you!

Following up on this: I have the same need (desktop notifications for only a few WhatsApp chats, everything else quiet).

WhatsApp's own per-chat mute doesn't solve it for me. As far as I can tell it's account-wide, so muting a chat in Ferdium also mutes it on my phone and other linked devices. What I want is a Ferdium-local filter that doesn't touch the account.

As a workaround I wrote a prototype custom recipe: it wraps notificationsHandler.displayNotification in the recipe's webview.js and drops notifications whose title doesn't match an allow/block list. It works as a workaround, but recipes have no user settings, so the list lives in a JSON file next to the recipe and would be overwritten on recipe updates.

Since recipes can’t expose user settings, this would need to live in Ferdium itself: we could add a per-service setting in Ferdium itself, an allow or block list of names matched (case/accent-insensitive "contains") against the notification title.
It could sit in the same place that already handles scheduled DND and per-service mute (the notification case in ServicesStore.ts).
It would be service-agnostic, so it would also cover Slack channels, Teams chats and Google Chat spaces, and it fits the per-service notification settings people have asked for, e.g. #915

Would the maintainers be open to a PR along these lines? Happy to build it if the approach looks right.
