Perplexity

Send approved templates inside Claude Desktop

The `send_template_message` tool lets your agent send pre-approved WhatsApp templates directly from your Claude Desktop chat window. You provide the template name and a JSON string of variables, and the server handles the delivery through your DoubleTick account. Instead of copying text back and forth, you tell Claude Desktop who to message, and it formats the payload automatically. This keeps your communication consistent and prevents manual copy-paste errors during high-volume outreach.

Build WhatsApp lists using this MCP Server

The `create_contact` tool registers new leads into your DoubleTick database directly from your local Claude Desktop environment. When you paste raw lead details into your chat, your agent parses the phone number and name to create the record immediately. Combined with `list_contacts`, this tool lets you verify existing records before creating duplicates. You get a clean, updated contact list on your local machine without opening a separate browser window.

Monitor broadcast delivery statuses in real-time

The `get_message_status` tool checks whether your WhatsApp broadcast actually hit your customer's phone or got blocked. Your agent calls this tool within Claude Desktop via the MCP connection to fetch delivery receipts and read-status timestamps on demand. You can also run `list_groups` to target specific broadcast segments right inside your chat window. This setup lets you diagnose delivery failures and adjust your follow-ups without leaving your workspace.
