Description

enhancement

What type of feature?

Integration

What is the motivation for the request?

It would be useful to allow webhook filtering before delivery based on payload fields such as fromMe, remoteJid, participant, messageType, or a dedicated selfMessagesOnly option.

Use case: I use WhatsApp self-chat as a command interface and would like MESSAGES_UPSERT webhooks to be delivered only when the message is sent to my own number, instead of receiving all sent/received messages.

This would reduce webhook traffic and simplify integrations.
