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).
Why use this skill?
Easily integrate WhatsApp Business API into your OpenClaw agents. Manage templates, send automated messages, and streamline customer communication with managed OAuth.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dabhadeamol6/mycobotWhat This Skill Does
The whatsapp-business skill provides a seamless, secure gateway to the official WhatsApp Business API, utilizing managed OAuth via Maton.ai to handle authentication. Instead of managing complex Facebook Developer configurations, tokens, and webhooks manually, this skill acts as a proxy for the WhatsApp API endpoints, allowing developers to programmatically send messages, manage templates, and monitor conversation flows. It ensures that communication with your customers is handled reliably by abstracting the underlying network infrastructure into a simplified, token-authenticated interface.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command line interface:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dabhadeamol6/mycobot
After installation, you must configure your environment variable MATON_API_KEY to authenticate with the gateway. Connection management is handled via ctrl.maton.ai, where you can initialize and track active WhatsApp sessions.
Use Cases
- Automated Customer Support: Automatically dispatch message templates when a customer initiates a ticket or requires a status update on an order.
- Transactional Messaging: Send shipping notifications, appointment reminders, or payment receipts directly to users' WhatsApp numbers.
- Bulk Communication: Broadcast marketing campaigns or organizational announcements to segmented customer lists using approved WhatsApp templates.
- Integration Hub: Connect your CRM directly to WhatsApp, triggering personalized messages based on CRM data changes.
Example Prompts
- "Connect my WhatsApp Business account using the Maton gateway so I can start sending automated order confirmations to my customers."
- "List all my currently active WhatsApp connections and verify if the latest message delivery to +1234567890 was successful."
- "Send a text notification to customer +9876543210 saying 'Your appointment has been confirmed for tomorrow at 10 AM' using the whatsapp-business skill."
Tips & Limitations
- Authentication: Always keep your
MATON_API_KEYsecure. Do not hardcode it in public repositories. - Templates: Remember that the WhatsApp Business API strictly requires pre-approved message templates for outbound communication. Unsolicited non-template messages may be blocked by Meta.
- Gateway Scope: This skill is strictly for the WhatsApp Business API. If you need to interface with other platforms like Telegram or Slack, use the api-gateway skill instead.
- Rate Limiting: Be mindful of WhatsApp’s rate limits on message sending to ensure high deliverability and avoid account flagging.
