Add WhatsApp Cloud API Channel (v2)
This skill adds WhatsApp support via the official Meta WhatsApp Business Cloud API. This is different from the Baileys-based WhatsApp adapter (which uses WhatsApp Web protocol).
Phase 1: Pre-flight
Check if src/channels/whatsapp-cloud-v2.ts exists and the import is uncommented in src/channels/index.ts. If both are in place, skip to Phase 3.
Phase 2: Apply Code Changes
Install the adapter package
npm install @chat-adapter/whatsapp
Enable the channel
Uncomment the WhatsApp Cloud API import in src/channels/index.ts:
import './whatsapp-cloud-v2.js';
Build
npm run build
Phase 3: Setup
Create WhatsApp Business App
- Go to Meta for Developers and create an app (type: Business)
- Add the WhatsApp product
- Go to WhatsApp > API Setup:
- Note the Phone Number ID (not the phone number itself)
- Generate a permanent System User access token with
whatsapp_business_messagingpermission- Go to WhatsApp > Configuration:
- Set webhook URL:
https://your-domain/webhook/whatsapp- Set a Verify Token (any random string you choose)
- Subscribe to webhook fields:
messages- Copy the App Secret from Settings > Basic
Configure environment
Add to .env:
WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-system-user-access-token
WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID=your-phone-number-id
WHATSAPP_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
WHATSAPP_VERIFY_TOKEN=your-verify-token
Sync to container: mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env
Build and restart
npm run build
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw # macOS
# systemctl --user restart nanoclaw # Linux
Phase 4: Verify
Send a message to your WhatsApp Business number. The bot should respond within a few seconds. Note: WhatsApp Cloud API only supports 1:1 DMs, not group chats.
