Neither setup here is a direct WhatsApp group integration. Grok and Grok Bot work from the Anyx Notes email. This page does not provide an unofficial WhatsApp number or bridge.
Set up
1
Choose Grok or Grok Bot
For Grok, open grok.com/connectors, choose New Connector, then Gmail, and authorize the receiving mailbox. For Grok Bot, use Connect apps, then Gmail, complete authorization and confirm it is installed and signed in. Bot requires an eligible paid plan or linked subscription; ordinary free Grok access does not establish Bot access.
2
Test one note with Gmail attached
Attach Gmail with @ and ask for the newest Anyx note by the actual sender, subject and group. Check its covered period and source. Grok Bot app connections are shared across your account’s Bots, so review the mailbox and permissions carefully.
3
Save the appropriate recurring job
Grok: create a scheduled Automation at grok.com/automations with Gmail attached. Incoming-email triggers require SuperGrok; a fixed-time schedule is a separate option. Grok Bot: ask the owning Bot for a routine and check its saved time zone and next run. A routine test can perform real work, so start with output-only instructions.

For Grok Bot, check action approvals too
Keep Auto Review on and configure Ask first rules for sends and external changes where offered. Auto Review does not mean every action waits for a human. The prompts above ask for an internal brief only; it is not a permission system. This guide does not provide an unofficial WhatsApp number or bridge.Questions
