whatsapp-claude-agent

WhatsApp Claude Agent integrates Claude Agent SDK with WhatsApp, allowing you to interact with files and run AI-powered workflows through messaging. The tool connects your WhatsApp account to Claude, enabling you to send commands, manage conversation sessions, and control file permissions directly from WhatsApp. Support for multiple permission modes (plan, acceptEdits, bypassPermissions, dontAsk) lets you define how Claude interacts with your files. Operations teams and developers benefit from querying files, automating tasks, and accessing AI assistance without leaving WhatsApp. Session persistence saves authentication, while whitelist security restricts access to specified phone numbers.

[{"step":"Set up the WhatsApp-to-Claude integration using the Claude Agent SDK and a WhatsApp Business API provider (e.g., Twilio, MessageBird).","action":"Follow the SDK documentation to configure webhooks for incoming WhatsApp messages and map them to Claude Code execution endpoints."},{"step":"Send a WhatsApp message with a clear task, including file paths, URLs, or specific instructions. Use natural language (e.g., 'Analyze this CSV and tell me the top 5 customers').","action":"Include placeholders like [FILE_PATH] or [REPO_URL] in your task to ensure the agent knows where to fetch data."},{"step":"Review the agent’s response in WhatsApp. If the task requires follow-up (e.g., missing data, errors), reply directly in WhatsApp to refine the request.","action":"Use emojis (📊, 🔍, 🚨) to signal urgency or type of response. For complex tasks, break them into smaller WhatsApp messages."},{"step":"For automated workflows, pre-define tasks in the SDK (e.g., daily reports) and trigger them via WhatsApp commands like '/daily_report'.","action":"Test the integration with simple tasks first (e.g., 'List files in /data') before deploying critical workflows."}]
