Before you connect
Questions about WhatsApp Business.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the WhatsApp Business MCP help my support team?
It lets your AI agent handle common questions and send files automatically. This reduces the time your team spends on repetitive typing and lets them focus on complex issues.
Can I use the WhatsApp Business MCP to send images?
Yes, you can send photos, videos, and other rich media via public URLs. This allows your AI to provide visual evidence or demos directly in the chat.
Does the WhatsApp Business MCP work with my existing API?
Yes, it connects to your existing Meta-approved account. You just need to provide your Access Token and Phone Number ID to get started.
Can the WhatsApp Business MCP send buttons?
Yes, it can send up to three quick-reply buttons. This helps guide customers through your workflows without them having to type out every response.
How do I send a location with the WhatsApp Business MCP?
The agent can send physical map pins with specific coordinates. This is perfect for sharing store locations or meeting points with your customers.
Can the WhatsApp Business MCP react to messages?
Yes, it can add emoji reactions to specific incoming messages. It's a great way for your AI to acknowledge user input without sending a full text reply.
Can I send a message to a customer who hasn't messaged me in the last 24 hours?
Yes, but you must use the send_template_message capability. WhatsApp requires Meta-approved templates to initiate contact outside the 24-hour service window. For active conversations within that window, you can use the send_text_message capability for free-form replies.
How many quick-reply buttons can I send at once?
Using the send_quick_reply_buttons capability, you can send up to 3 interactive buttons along with a message block. This is ideal for helping users choose between options like 'Confirm', 'Cancel', or 'Reschedule' with a single tap.
Can I share images or PDF documents through this server?
Absolutely. Use the send_media_message capability and provide a public URL to your asset. You can specify the type as 'image' or 'document' and even add a custom caption to the message.
