How to Use the WSLA (WhatsApp) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I manage WSLA (WhatsApp) templates using VS Code Copilot?

You use listwhatsapptemplates to verify the available message types. Then, you call sendwhatsapptemplate within your code's agent logic. The entire process is managed by the MCP Server configuration in .vscode/mcp.json.

Q: If I need to send a text message using WSLA (WhatsApp) and Copilot, how does it work?

The team configures sendwhatsapptext via the shared MCP Server file. When you prompt Copilot Chat, the agent executes this tool call directly into your current workspace context.

Send Messages via MCP Server

Need to dispatch a simple text message? The `send_whatsapp_text` tool does it. Because the configuration is managed in `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer on the team has access to this capability automatically. The Copilot Chat agent runs these calls as part of your coding flow, keeping communication logic close to the source code.

List and Send Templates

To handle structured messaging, first call `list_whatsapp_templates` to see available options. Then, use `send_whatsapp_template` to send a message that adheres strictly to WhatsApp's rules. This team-wide setup ensures everyone uses the same API calls for consistent communication.

Reacting in Teams

Sometimes you just need to acknowledge something. Use `send_whatsapp_reaction` to send a quick reaction to a message. This capability is committed to your repository via the shared MCP configuration. The agent uses this tool when writing code that simulates team interaction.
