  4. Basic VBA knowledge - Familiarity with Visual Basic for Applications programming
  5. Audio file ready - Have the MP3 file you want to send available on your Windows system
  6. Macros enabled - Office applications need macros enabled for VBA execution

⚠️ Important: Telegram groups must be registered with the WhatsMate Telegram Gateway before they can receive messages. Unregistered groups will not receive any messages from the Gateway. Registration instructions are available on the official WhatsMate site.
