# Automate WhatsApp

## When to use

Use this skill to build and run WhatsApp automations: workflow CRUD, graph edits, triggers, executions, function management, app integrations, and D1 database operations.

## Setup

Env vars:
- `KAPSO_API_BASE_URL` (host only, no `/platform/v1`)
- `KAPSO_API_KEY`

## How to

### Edit a workflow graph

1. Fetch graph: `node scripts/get-graph.js <workflow_id>` (note the `lock_version`)
2. Edit the JSON (see graph rules below)
3. Validate: `node scripts/validate-graph.js --definition-file <path>`
4. Update: `node scripts/update-graph.js <workflow_id> --expected-lock-version <n> --definition-file <path>`
5. Re-fetch to confirm

For small edits, use `edit-graph.js` with `--old-file` and `--new-file` instead.

If you get a lock_version conflict: re-fetch, re-apply changes, retry with new lock_version.

### Manage triggers

1. List: `node scripts/list-triggers.js <workflow_id>`
2. Create: `node scripts/create-trigger.js <workflow_id> --trigger-type <type> --phone-number-id <id>`
3. Toggle: `node scripts/update-trigger.js --trigger-id <id> --active true|false`
4. Delete: `node scripts/delete-trigger.js --trigger-id <id>`

For inbound_message triggers, first run `node scripts/list-whatsapp-phone-numbers.js` to get `phone_number_id`.

### Debug executions

1. List: `node scripts/list-executions.js <workflow_id>`
2. Inspect: `node scripts/get-execution.js <execution-id>`
3. Get value: `node scripts/get-context-value.js <execution-id> --variable-path vars.foo`
4. Events: `node scripts/list-execution-events.js <execution-id>`

### Create and deploy a function

1. Write code with handler signature (see function rules below)
2. Create: `node scripts/create-function.js --name <name> --code-file <path>`
3. Deploy: `node scripts/deploy-function.js --function-id <id>`
4. Verify: `node scripts/get-function.js --function-id <id>`

### Set up agent node with app integrations

1. Find model: `node scripts/list-provider-models.js`
2. Find account: `node scripts/list-accounts.js --app-slug <slug>` (use `pipedream_account_id`)
3. Find action: `node scripts/search-actions.js --query <word> --app-slug <slug>` (action_id = key)
4. Create integration: `node scripts/create-integration.js --action-id <id> --app-slug <slug> --account-id <id> --configured-props <json>`
5. Add tools to agent node via `flow_agent_app_integration_tools`

### Database CRUD

1. List tables: `node scripts/list-tables.js`
2. Query: `node scripts/query-rows.js --table <name> --filters <json>`
3. Create/update/delete with row scripts

## Graph rules

- Exactly one start node with `id` = `start`
- Never change existing node IDs
- Use `{node_type}_{timestamp_ms}` for new node IDs
- Non-decide nodes have 0 or 1 outgoing `next` edge
- Decide edge labels must match `conditions[].label`
- Edge keys are `source`/`target`/`label` (not `from`/`to`)

For full schema details, see `references/graph-contract.md`.

## Function rules

```js
async function handler(request, env) {
  // Parse input
  const body = await request.json();
  // Use env.KV and env.DB as needed
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ result: "ok" }));
}
```

- Do NOT use `export`, `export default`, or arrow functions
- Return a `Response` object

## Execution context

Always use this structure:
- `vars` - user-defined variables
- `system` - system variables
- `context` - channel data
- `metadata` - request metadata

## Notes

- Prefer file paths over inline JSON (`--definition-file`, `--code-file`)
- `action_id` is the same as `key` from `search-actions`
- `--account-id` uses `pipedream_account_id` from `list-accounts`
- Variable CRUD (`variables-set.js`, `variables-delete.js`) is blocked - Platform API doesn't support it
- Raw SQL execution is not supported via Platform API

Overview

This skill packages a complete toolkit for building WhatsApp automations with Kapso workflows. It includes scripts and guidance to configure WhatsApp triggers, edit workflow graphs, manage executions, deploy server-side functions, and use D1 databases and app integrations for state and tooling. Use it to author, test, and operate production WhatsApp conversation flows and event-driven automations.

How this skill works

The skill provides a set of Node.js scripts that call the Kapso Platform API to perform workflow CRUD, graph edits, trigger management, execution inspection, function lifecycle, and database operations. Graph and function rules enforce safe edits and deterministic execution. Execution context follows a fixed shape (vars, system, context, metadata) so workflow nodes and functions can read and persist state consistently.

When to use it

Building WhatsApp-driven conversational automations and event handlers
Editing or deploying workflow graphs that control message flows and agents
Managing triggers for inbound WhatsApp messages and phone numbers
Debugging executions, inspecting context values, and replaying events
Deploying custom functions and integrating third-party apps or databases

Best practices

Keep a copy of workflow graph and lock_version before updates; re-fetch when conflicts occur
Prefer file paths (--definition-file, --code-file) over inline JSON for safety and reviewability
Never change existing node IDs; create new nodes with node_type_timestamp_ms pattern
Validate graphs locally with validate-graph.js before calling update-graph.js
Use the provided execution context shape (vars/system/context/metadata) consistently in functions

Example use cases

Create a customer support intake flow: inbound trigger -> agent node -> D1 ticket row
Route interactive button presses using a decide node and a small deployed function
Automate appointment reminders: schedule trigger -> WhatsApp message -> update DB row
Debug a stuck execution by listing events, reading vars with get-context-value.js, and resuming
Connect a third-party CRM via an app integration and call actions from an agent node

FAQ

What environment variables are required?

Set KAPSO_API_BASE_URL (host only) and KAPSO_API_KEY before running scripts.

How do I resolve lock_version conflicts when updating a graph?

Re-fetch the graph to get the latest lock_version, re-apply your edits, validate, then retry update-graph.js with the new lock_version.

What handler signature should functions use?

Use an async function handler(request, env) that parses request.json(), uses env for KV/DB, and returns a Response object; avoid exports and arrow functions.
