# Chattree

> The WhatsApp community manager that answers, welcomes and keeps notes.

Chattree lives in your WhatsApp group. It answers what members ask from
[what you have taught it](/docs/guides/knowledge), welcomes people who join, writes a short summary of
the week, and remembers what has been settled so you are not explaining the same thing every
month.

You run all of it from WhatsApp — message Chattree directly and reply **0** for the menu — or from
the dashboard, whichever suits what you are doing.

## What it does without being asked

Chattree posts unprompted in three cases, and each one is yours to turn off:

* **A welcome**, when somebody joins.
* **The weekly roundup**, a short summary of what the group got into. It can come to you for
  approval first, or post on its own.
* **Dates coming closer**, when you have told it something is coming.

Everything unprompted is limited — by the group's quiet hours, by how often the number it shares
with other groups may post at all, and by a per-group ceiling on each kind. Those limits exist to
keep the number healthy; a group that is posted at too often is a group that mutes you.
