Currently, we do not support reactions, ephemeral messages, or the request_welcome event for the WhatsApp channel. However, if this is the first event we receive in Chatwoot (i.e., there is no previous conversation or contact in Chatwoot), it will create a contact and a conversation without any messages. This confuses our customer, as it may appear that Chatwoot has missed some messages. There are multiple cases where this might be the first event we receive in Chatwoot. One quick example is when the user has sent an outbound campaign from another tool and their customers reacted to the message.
Another event like this is request_welcome event. WhatsApp has a concept for welcome messages. You can send an outbound message even though the user has not send a message. You can receive notifications through a webhook whenever a WhatsApp user initiates a chat with you for the first time. (Read the Welcome message section: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/phone-numbers/conversational-components/ ). Although this can help the business send a pro-active message to the user, we don't have it scoped in our feature set. For now, I'm ignoring this event.

* chore: update to ruby 3.1.3
* chore: ping docker version to alpine3.16 for nodev16.x
Starting with Node 17, nodejs switched to OpenSSL3. The docker builds
are installing node18.xx with alpine-3.1.3.
From Node.js 17's announcement post:
If you hit an ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED error in your application
with Node.js 17, it’s likely that your application or a module you’re
using is attempting to use an algorithm or key size which is no longer
allowed by default with OpenSSL 3.0. A new command-line option,
--openssl-legacy-provider, has been added to revert to the legacy
provider as a temporary workaround for these tightened restrictions.
Looks like a webpack issue. This is fixed in webpacl 5+ and we are on
webpack4 at the moment.
Solutions
Upgrade webpack.
Pin nodejs version to be 16.x.x
Use --openssl-legacy-provider as a workaround.
Pin docker version to alpine3.16 branch to have node16.x by default
