whatsapp-business
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).
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/whatsapp-businessWhat This Skill Does
The whatsapp-business skill provides a seamless, managed bridge to the official WhatsApp Business API. By leveraging the Maton gateway, this skill abstracts the complexity of manual OAuth authentication, token rotation, and Facebook Graph API interaction. It allows agents to send templated and free-form text messages, handle media uploads, and monitor conversation threads directly. Because it uses a proxied architecture, it ensures that your API credentials remain secure while providing high-performance access to WhatsApp's messaging ecosystem. Whether you are managing customer support inquiries or triggering automated notifications, this skill acts as the reliable communication layer for your OpenClaw agent.
Installation
To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal within the OpenClaw environment:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/whatsapp-business
After installation, you must configure your environment variable MATON_API_KEY by signing up at maton.ai and generating a key from your settings dashboard. Ensure you have initiated a connection at https://ctrl.maton.ai to link your WhatsApp Business account successfully.
Use Cases
- Customer Support Automation: Automatically respond to user queries with predefined templates or AI-generated answers.
- Transactional Notifications: Send order confirmations, shipping updates, or appointment reminders to customers.
- Marketing Campaigns: Send out approved promotional templates to segmented customer lists.
- Conversational Sales: Facilitate two-way communication between sales teams and prospective buyers.
Example Prompts
- "Send a WhatsApp message to +15550109988 saying 'Your order #5521 has been shipped!'"
- "List my active WhatsApp Business connections and check if the latest one is ready for messaging."
- "Send a welcome template message to all customers in the recent support queue."
Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: Always be mindful of Meta's messaging rate limits associated with your WhatsApp Business account tier.
- Template Approval: Remember that proactive messages usually require pre-approved message templates from Meta.
- Security: Do not hardcode your API key in scripts; always use environment variables. If you need to interface with other non-WhatsApp messaging services, utilize the api-gateway skill to keep your agent configuration organized.
