WhatsApp Message Sender for Automated Customer Notifications
This Connector changes that by letting your agent do the heavy lifting. Once the task is done in your system, the agent just fires off the message. You get instant updates for your customers without ever leaving your workspace.
What Vinkius changes
Your agent gets a direct, one-way line to send messages to your customers.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about WhatsApp Cloud API.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the WhatsApp Message Sender MCP read my messages?
No, this Connector is strictly for sending messages. It doesn't have permission to read your inbox, see your contacts, or view your message history.
Does the WhatsApp Message Sender MCP work with my existing business account?
Yes, it connects to your official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. You just need your Meta Phone Number ID and Access Token to get started.
Can I use the WhatsApp Message Sender MCP for two-way chats?
This capability is a one-way megaphone. It's designed for pushing updates and alerts. For a full back-and-forth conversation, you'd need a different MCP that supports receiving messages.
How do I format the phone numbers in the WhatsApp Message Sender MCP?
You need to use the E.164 format but leave out the plus sign. For example, use 5511999999999 for a Brazilian number.
Will the WhatsApp Message Sender MCP work for international customers?
Yes, it supports sending to international numbers. Just make sure you're following the Meta Cloud API guidelines for international messaging.
What happens if I try to send a message to a customer who hasn't messaged me recently?
If you're outside the 24-hour window, you must use a pre-approved Meta template. The Connector will attempt to send it, but Meta's rules apply.
Can the agent read incoming WhatsApp replies with this?
No. This Connector utilizes the REST API strictly for creating new messages. It does not configure or expose incoming webhooks, meaning it acts strictly as a one-way notification megaphone. It cannot see your customer's replies.
Why are some messages failing to send?
The Meta WhatsApp Cloud API has a strict 24-hour service window. If you are sending a free-form text message to a user who hasn't messaged you in the last 24 hours, the API will block it unless you use a pre-approved Message Template. Ensure you are within the 24-hour window for free-form replies.
