Organize your WhatsApp

How to label, mute, archive, summarize, and run your groups by asking.

Ask for the result you want: fewer unread badges, quieter groups, a small set of useful labels, or old chats out of the way. For a bulk change, Perisclaw shows you exactly what it will touch before it acts.

Review a cleanup before it runs

Perisclaw proposing labels, archives, and read-state changes before an inbox cleanup
A bulk cleanup should name the actions and counts before you approve it.
  1. 1

    Describe the result

    Say what should be easier afterward: “quiet the building groups for a week” or “propose useful labels for my client chats.”

    Perisclaw understands the rule and the kind of chats it applies to.

  2. 2

    Check the exact scope

    For a broad request, review the named chats, proposed labels, and item counts. Narrow or correct the list before approving it.

    You know exactly which chats will change.
  3. 3

    Approve and verify

    Confirm the listed change. Perisclaw applies it in WhatsApp and reports what succeeded or failed.

    Your WhatsApp chat list reflects the approved result.
Start with a proposal

Review my client chats and propose a small set of useful labels. Show me every chat under each label before you apply anything.

Choose an inbox action

  • Summarize a busy chat or a named set of conversations. Summaries work across a label too, so “catch me up on work” is a single request.
  • Label chats and individual messages by project, relationship, or priority after reviewing the proposed names and membership. Once labeled, you can act on the whole set at once: “let all my work chats know I’m OOO today.”
  • Mute, pin, or archive one chat or a clearly defined set.
  • Mark read or unread when you want to clear badges or bring something back to the top.
Deleting a chat removes local history

Chat deletion is hard to undo and always requires your explicit approval. Perisclaw also pauses before a vague bulk cleanup: it will not treat “clear old stuff” as permission to delete a large set.

Run your groups

Perisclaw also handles the fiddly admin work of running WhatsApp groups. Ask in plain language:

  • Create a group: “create a group called ‘Q3 Launch’ with Priya, Raj, and Meena.”
  • Add or remove people: “add Sam to the Vendors group.”
  • Promote or demote admins: “make Priya an admin of the launch group.”
  • Share an invite link: “get the invite link for the Clients group.”
  • Change group settings: for example, who may send messages or edit the group info.
  • Leave a group: “leave the old project group.”
Group changes are visible to everyone

Perisclaw confirms membership edits before applying them, and removing people or leaving a group always needs your explicit OK. Some actions, such as removing members, require your account to be a group admin. If it is not, Perisclaw tells you.

Put a question to a vote

Ask Perisclaw to poll a group and it posts a real WhatsApp poll, the native kind with tap-to-vote options. It reads the results back as they come in, including who voted for what, so you can chase the people who have not.

Try a group poll

Poll the team group: Thursday 4pm or Friday 11am for the review call?

Useful cleanup requests

Catch up without changing anythingRead-only summary

Try:

“Summarize the last 200 messages in the launch group. Separate decisions, open questions, and anything waiting on me.”

Quiet a category temporarilyMute a named set of chats

Try:

“Mute my building society groups for one week. Show me the group names before you do it.”

Archive stale conversationsMove inactive chats out of the main list

Try:

“Propose chats to archive that have had no activity for three months. Do not delete anything.”

Keep it tidy automatically

Turn a working cleanup into recurring behavior, like a daily label summary.
