EngageLab WhatsApp Business API Skill

This skill enables interaction with the EngageLab WhatsApp Business REST API. As a Meta-authorized WhatsApp Business solution provider, EngageLab connects businesses with over 2 billion WhatsApp users for marketing, notifications, OTP verification, and customer service.

It covers three areas:

1. Send Messages — Deliver template, text, image, video, audio, document, and sticker messages
2. Template Management — Create, list, get, update, and delete WABA message templates
3. Callbacks — Receive message delivery status, user responses, and system notifications

• whatsapp_client.py — Python client class (EngageLabWhatsApp) wrapping all API endpoints: send_template(), send_text(), send_image(), send_video(), send_audio(), send_document(), send_sticker(), and template CRUD (list_templates(), get_template(), create_template(), update_template(), delete_template()). Handles authentication, request construction, and typed error handling.

• callback-api.md — Webhook callback events: message status, message response, and system notifications

Authentication

All EngageLab WhatsApp API calls use HTTP Basic Authentication.

• Base URL: https://wa.api.engagelab.cc
• Header: Authorization: Basic <base64(dev_key:dev_secret)>
• Content-Type: application/json

The user must provide their dev_key (DevKey) and dev_secret (DevSecret). Encode them as base64("dev_key:dev_secret") and set the Authorization header.

Example (using curl):

curl -X POST https://wa.api.engagelab.cc/v1/messages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n 'YOUR_DEV_KEY:YOUR_DEV_SECRET' | base64)" \
  -d '{ ... }'

If the user hasn't provided credentials, ask them for their dev_key and dev_secret before generating API calls.

            { "type": "text", "text": "John" },

  "message_id": "cbggf4if6o9ukqaalfug",
  "request_id": "my-request-123"
}

For error codes, read references/error-codes.md.

Template Management

WhatsApp message templates must be created and approved before use. Templates support HEADER, BODY, FOOTER, and BUTTONS components with variables.

For full request/response details including components object specs, read references/template-api.md.

Quick Summary

List all — GET /v1/templates with optional query params: name, language_code, category, status

Get one — GET /v1/templates/:templateId

Create — POST /v1/templates

{
  "name": "order_confirmation",
  "language": "en",
  "category": "UTILITY",
  "components": [
    { "type": "BODY", "text": "Hi {{1}}, your order {{2}} has shipped." ,
      "example": { "body_text": [["John", "ORD-123"]] } }
  ]
}

Update — PUT /v1/templates/:templateId (same body as create)

Delete — DELETE /v1/templates/:templateName (deletes all languages for that name)

Template Status Values

Callbacks

Configure webhook URLs to receive message delivery status, user responses, and system notifications.

For full callback data structures and event types, read references/callback-api.md.

User Response Events

Generating Code

When the user asks to send WhatsApp messages or manage templates, generate working code. Default to curl unless the user specifies a language. Supported patterns:

• curl — Shell commands with proper auth header
• Python — Using requests library (or the bundled whatsapp_client.py)
• Node.js — Using fetch or axios
• Java — Using HttpClient
• Go — Using net/http

Always include the authentication header and proper error handling. Use placeholder values like YOUR_DEV_KEY and YOUR_DEV_SECRET if the user hasn't provided credentials.
