Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a session message and a template message?
Session messages can only be sent if the user has messaged you in the last 24 hours. Template messages are pre-approved by WhatsApp and can be used to initiate a conversation at any time.
How do I see the approved templates in my account?
Use the list_message_templates query. Your agent will retrieve the complete list of pre-approved WhatsApp templates available in your Wati dashboard.
Can I retrieve the last messages from a specific customer?
Yes! Use the list_chat_history tool and provide the customer's WhatsApp number. The agent will return the message history for that specific conversation.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Wati tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
