Perplexity

Send compliant templates from Claude Desktop

`send_whatsapp_template` is the tool that lets Claude Desktop dispatch pre-approved WhatsApp templates directly to your customers. You don't have to copy-paste template codes from a web browser anymore. Just ask Claude to message a specific lead, and the desktop client pulls your approved layouts, fills in the variables, and fires the message. To prevent compliance issues, this MCP Server runs checks using `list_opted_in_contacts` before any template goes out. Your desktop client handles this validation in the background, matching your active chat thread against your verified subscriber list.

Audit messaging volume inside your chat pane

`quick_whatsapp_volume_audit` delivers a direct summary of your messaging success rates and account limits right into the Claude Desktop interface. Instead of logging into a separate dashboard, you ask the desktop app how many messages went through today. The system pulls the raw metrics so you can spot delivery drops or high failure rates instantly. You can also call `get_doubletick_account_metadata` to verify your remaining daily API limits. This keeps your automated outreach campaigns from hitting hard walls midway through your work day.

Track incoming customer replies on your desktop

`list_latest_whatsapp_messages` monitors incoming customer responses across all active threads, feeding them straight to Claude Desktop. You see exactly who replied and what they said without switching to a mobile device. This keeps your customer support conversations flowing from a single desktop interface. When a specific thread needs deeper analysis, Claude uses `list_conversation_messages` to pull the full history. The desktop client displays the complete back-and-forth, allowing you to draft highly contextual responses based on past exchanges.

No, if you use the Claude Web interface with custom connectors, you only need to paste the remote server URL in your integration settings. For the local desktop application, the stdio transport runs the server as a background subprocess, meaning you never have to keep a terminal window open.

Your message logs and contact phone numbers remain secured on DoubleTick's servers, accessed only via encrypted API calls. This MCP Server runs in an ephemeral V8 sandbox that never retains your customer data after the tool execution finishes.
