To add WhatsApp as a secure channel, you need to merge the channel code, install dependencies, and complete a QR or pairing-code authentication flow. This registers chats with triggers so the assistant can securely communicate through WhatsApp conversations.

For headless environments, the best way to authenticate a WhatsApp bot is by using a pairing-code flow rather than QR-browser methods. The setup detects headless environments and prompts users for the appropriate authentication method before making changes.

Configuring WhatsApp trigger words involves syncing environment data and registering chats after the authentication workflow completes. This ensures personalized interactions are correctly mapped to the newly installed and authenticated channel.

Yes, you need to run tests when integrating WhatsApp messaging. The integration process requires pulling the whatsapp skill branch, installing packages, running npm build, and validating tests to ensure the new channel files and environment variables are correctly in place.

WhatsApp channel setup requires monitoring credential files during the authentication workflow to ensure secure storage of auth data. This validates that QR or pairing flows successfully generate credentials before environment sync and trigger registration.

Yes, you can link WhatsApp without a browser by using a terminal QR flow or a pairing-code flow. The setup guides users through QR-browser, terminal QR, or pairing-code methods based on the environment and existing authentication state.
