wati
WATI (WhatsApp Team Inbox) API integration with managed authentication. Send WhatsApp messages, manage contacts, and handle templates. Use this skill when users want to send WhatsApp messages, manage WhatsApp contacts, or work with message templates via WATI. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/watiWhat This Skill Does
The WATI (WhatsApp Team Inbox) skill provides a robust interface for OpenClaw agents to communicate via WhatsApp, manage customer contact databases, and utilize pre-approved message templates. By leveraging the Maton gateway, the skill automates authentication and proxy management, allowing developers to focus on workflow integration rather than manual API credential handling. It acts as a bridge between your agent's logic and your WATI business account.
Installation
To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/wati
Ensure you have your Maton API key ready and set as an environment variable MATON_API_KEY. You must manage your active connections via the dashboard at https://ctrl.maton.ai before executing API requests.
Use Cases
- Automated Customer Support: Automatically dispatch message templates to customers when a support ticket status changes.
- CRM Syncing: Keep your WhatsApp contacts updated by querying the contact list and adding new leads directly through agent workflows.
- Proactive Notifications: Send shipping updates, appointment reminders, or promotional content to opt-in users using WATI templates.
- Database Management: Efficiently manage high volumes of customer data by automating the retrieval and filtering of WhatsApp contact lists.
Example Prompts
- "List the first 20 WhatsApp contacts from my WATI account so I can review my current lead list."
- "Send a follow-up WhatsApp message using the 'order_confirmation' template to the contact with ID 555-0199."
- "Check if there are any active WATI connections in my Maton dashboard, and if not, initiate a new connection setup."
Tips & Limitations
- Gateway Efficiency: Always route requests through the base URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/wati/to ensure your API tokens are handled securely. - Template Compliance: When using templates, ensure the placeholders in your prompt match the exact structure required by your WATI template definitions to avoid delivery errors.
- Connection Status: Use the
ctrl.maton.aiendpoints to verify your connection status regularly, as session tokens may periodically expire or require re-authorization in the browser. - Rate Limiting: Be mindful of WhatsApp's specific throughput limits to prevent your account from being flagged for spam.
