How do I automate WhatsApp customer replies using a webhook?

Automate WhatsApp customer replies by processing inbound webhook payloads from the TimelinesAI API, verifying chat ownership, and sending conditional responses. This Skill handles multi-number workspace routing based on incoming payloads to dispatch automated messages.

Can I pause automated WhatsApp messaging for human intervention?

Yes, you can pause automated WhatsApp messaging using label-aware stop-reply logic. When a human teammate tags a chat with a specific label, the automation recognizes the tag and instantly silences bot responses for that conversation.

What do I need to set up WhatsApp autoresponder automation?

To set up WhatsApp autoresponder automation, you need valid TimelinesAI API credentials, verified JIDs for secure communication, and the jq dependency installed. These prerequisites ensure your environment can securely process inbound webhook payloads.

How does the WhatsApp webhook router handle multi-number workspaces?

The WhatsApp webhook router handles multi-number workspaces by verifying chat ownership during inbound payload processing. This JID verification ensures messages are routed securely across different numbers without persona leakage or cross-talk.

Why does my WhatsApp API automation reply to escalated chats?

Your WhatsApp API automation may reply to escalated chats if the stop-reply labels are not properly applied or detected. The system relies on specific chat labels to enforce human-in-the-loop guardrails and pause the bot instantly.
