05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through WhatsApp Channels.

  1. 05

    Post channel media

    File_url must be publicly downloadable. WAHA downloads it server-side before posting. For image/video the optional caption appears under the media; voice posts ignore captions. Requires role OWNER or ADMIN; channel_id ends with "@newsletter". Publish an image, video or voice post to a WhatsApp Channel from a public file URL

  2. 06

    Post channel text

    Requires your role OWNER or ADMIN on the channel. subscribers cannot post. channel_id must end with "@newsletter" (get it from list_channels). Supports normal WhatsApp text formatting; emoji included as-is. Publish a text post to a WhatsApp Channel you own or administer

  3. 07

    Search channels

    Paginate with start_cursor using the endCursor from the previous response (recommended limit 50). Useful to monitor competitors or find a channel before subscribing. Discover public WhatsApp Channels by keyword (like the in-app explore search)

  4. 08

    Create channel

    The WAHA session must use the NOWEB, WPP or GOWS engine. the default WEBJS engine cannot create channels (posting to an existing channel still works on WEBJS). Keep the name short and unique. Optionally attach a profile picture from any public image URL. Create a new WhatsApp Channel owned by the logged-in number

One connector, every AI

WhatsApp Channels works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put WhatsApp Channels to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of WhatsApp Channels, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with WhatsApp Channels. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions WhatsApp Channels owners ask.

  • 01

    What is WAHA and why do I need it?

    WAHA is the WhatsApp API server this connector talks to. a free open-source app you run in Docker on your own infrastructure. It keeps your WhatsApp session under your control: no third party ever sees your messages or credentials.

  • 02

    What do I need to set up before first post?

    Run WAHA on a VPS bound to 127.0.0.1:3000 (docker run -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 -e WAHA_API_KEY=secret devlikeapro/waha) and expose it over HTTPS via a reverse proxy (Caddy/Nginx/Traefik) on your own domain. Open WAHA's dashboard at that HTTPS URL, start a session, scan the QR code with the phone that owns your channel, then set WAHA_BASE_URL (https://...) and WAHA_API_KEY in this server's credentials.

  • 03

    Why do my posts fail with a permissions error?

    Only owners and admins can publish to a channel. subscribers cannot. Run list_channels to check your role, and make sure the channel id you pass ends with @newsletter.

  • 04

    Is my WhatsApp account safe using WAHA?

    WAHA is self-hosted, so your session stays on your own server and never touches a third party. It emulates WhatsApp Web, which is outside WhatsApp's official terms. keep posting volume human-like (a few broadcast posts, not spam) to minimise restriction risk.
