--- name: whatsapp-business description: | WhatsApp Business API integration with managed OAuth. Send messages, manage templates, and handle conversations. Use this skill when users want to interact with WhatsApp Business. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY --- # WhatsApp Business Access the WhatsApp Business API with managed OAuth authentication. Send messages, manage message templates, handle media, and interact with customers through WhatsApp. ## Quick Start ```bash # Send a text message python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'messaging_product': 'whatsapp', 'to': '1234567890', 'type': 'text', 'text': {'body': 'Hello from WhatsApp Business!'}}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/whatsapp-business/v21.0/PHONE_NUMBER_ID/messages', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/whatsapp-business/{native-api-path} ``` Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual WhatsApp Business API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `graph.facebook.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your WhatsApp Business OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=whatsapp-business&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'whatsapp-business'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": [REDACTED_SECRET], "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "whatsapp-business", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple WhatsApp Business connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'messaging_product': 'whatsapp', 'to': '1234567890', 'type': 'text', 'text': {'body': 'Hello!'}}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/whatsapp-business/v21.0/PHONE_NUMBER_ID/messages', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', [REDACTED_SECRET]) req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection. ## API Reference ### Messages #### Send Text Message ```bash POST /whatsapp-business/v21.0/{phone_number_id}/messages Content-Type: application/json { "messaging_product": "whatsapp", "recipient_type": "individual", "to": "1234567890", "type": "text", "text": { "preview_url": true, "body": "Hello!

Phone numbers must be in international format without `+` or leading zeros (e.g., `1234567890`) - `messaging_product` must always be set to `whatsapp` - Template messages are required for initiating conversations (24-hour messaging window) - Media files must be publicly accessible URLs or uploaded via the Media API - Interactive messages support up to 3 buttons or 10 list items - Message IDs (`wamid`) are used to track message status and replies - API version `v21.0` is current; check Meta docs for latest version - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping. ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing WhatsApp Business connection or invalid request | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 404 | Phone number or resource not found | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from WhatsApp Business API | Common error codes from WhatsApp: - `131030` - Phone number not registered - `131031` - Message failed to send - `132000` - Template not found or not approved - `133010` - Phone number rate limit reached ### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name 1. Ensure your URL path starts with `whatsapp-business`. For example: - Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/whatsapp-business/v21.0/PHONE_NUMBER_ID/messages` - Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/v21.0/PHONE_NUMBER_ID/messages` ## Resources - [WhatsApp Business API Overview](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/overview) - [Send Messages](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/guides/send-messages) - [Message Templates](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/guides/send-message-templates) - [Media](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/reference/media) - [Phone Numbers](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/reference/phone-numbers) - [Business Profiles](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/reference/business-profiles) - [Webhooks](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks) - [Error Codes](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/support/error-codes) - [Maton Community](https://discord.com/invite/dBfFAcefs2) - [Maton Support](mailto:[REDACTED_SECRET])
