Before you wire it up
Check whether the agent uses the official WhatsApp Business API or a lighter bridge, because depth determines media support and delivery reliability. Review auth scope—OAuth or token-based access usually limits what the agent can read or send. Watch WhatsApp rate limits and template-message rules; most breaks happen when agents try to send free-form media or handle large group threads without proper formatting.
FAQ
How do I connect an agent to my WhatsApp number?
Most agents require WhatsApp Business API approval or a hosted bridge; some like whatsapp-mcp use the Model Context Protocol for direct standardized access.
What message limits apply when agents use WhatsApp?
Business API enforces rate limits and template rules for outbound messages; agents must stay within session windows or pre-approved templates to avoid blocks.
Can agents handle images, voice notes or group chats on WhatsApp?
Native integrations usually support media and groups; lighter bridges often drop media or fail in large threads, so test the specific agent's claimed scope first.
