Perplexity

Run WhatsApp campaigns right inside Claude Desktop

The Gallabox MCP Server gives your Claude Desktop app the power to deploy approved templates directly to your customer lists. By running `list_message_templates`, the agent checks your pre-approved templates and runs `send_whatsapp_template` without making you copy-paste text between tabs. You don't have to leave your chat window to check if the connection is active. Just let the agent run `verify_api_connection` to confirm your credentials work before blasting out updates.

Retrieve full chat histories on demand

This MCP configuration exposes `list_thread_messages` to Claude Desktop so you can pull up past conversations instantly. When a customer pings you, your agent grabs the context using `get_chat_details` to catch you up on their issues. It beats digging through your browser tabs just to find an old thread. The agent scans through `list_active_chats` to find who needs a reply and formats the history right in your sidebar.

Assign leads to the right support teams

This tool integration maps your internal organization by letting Claude Desktop use the MCP Server to query `list_support_teams` to see who is available. Your agent reads the contact metadata via `get_contact_details` and decides which department should handle the incoming query. You can also use `list_whatsapp_contacts` to clean up your pipeline or update user details. It keeps your CRM and WhatsApp contacts aligned without manual data entry.
