Add device identifier to message objects

[smashah]

Sometimes it's useful to know where an outgoing message is actually from.

Context:

Corner shop has a whatsapp account for customer service. and 2 clerks one for early shift and one for night shift.

Clerk 1 has access to the account via a web session and he has the root host account device

Clerk 2 has access only via a web session.

The shop owner is running an automation for cli-type commands from customers.

Shop owner wants the message to be edited with a signature based on who the message is from. Owner has told C1 and C2 to sign off their respective messages with their name but they wont listen.

Owner decides to implement auto-updating messages with signatures using an automation.

But how is owner going to do that if the message object has no identifier of who sent a message?
