Automate WhatsApp

When to use

Use this skill to build and run WhatsApp automations: workflow CRUD, graph edits, triggers, executions, function management, app integrations, and D1 database operations.

Setup

Env vars:

  • KAPSO_API_BASE_URL (host only, no /​platform/​v1)
  • KAPSO_API_KEY

How to

Edit a workflow graph

  1. Fetch graph: node scripts/​get-graph.js <workflow_id> (note the lock_version)
  2. Edit the JSON (see graph rules below)
  3. Validate: node scripts/​validate-graph.js --definition-file <path>
  4. Update: node scripts/​update-graph.js <workflow_id> --expected-lock-version <n> --definition-file <path>
  5. Re-fetch to confirm

For small edits, use edit-graph.js with --old-file and --new-file instead.

If you get a lock_version conflict: re-fetch, re-apply changes, retry with new lock_version.

Manage triggers

  1. List: node scripts/​list-triggers.js <workflow_id>
  2. Create: node scripts/​create-trigger.js <workflow_id> --trigger-type <type> --phone-number-id <id>
  3. Toggle: node scripts/​update-trigger.js --trigger-id <id> --active true|false
  4. Delete: node scripts/​delete-trigger.js --trigger-id <id>

For inbound_message triggers, first run node scripts/​list-whatsapp-phone-numbers.js to get phone_number_id.

Debug executions

  1. List: node scripts/​list-executions.js <workflow_id>
  2. Inspect: node scripts/​get-execution.js <execution-id>
  3. Get value: node scripts/​get-context-value.js <execution-id> --variable-path vars.foo
  4. Events: node scripts/​list-execution-events.js <execution-id>

Create and deploy a function

  1. Write code with handler signature (see function rules below)
  2. Create: node scripts/​create-function.js --name <name> --code-file <path>
  3. Deploy: node scripts/​deploy-function.js --function-id <id>
  4. Verify: node scripts/​get-function.js --function-id <id>

Set up agent node with app integrations

  1. Find model: node scripts/​list-provider-models.js
  2. Find account: node scripts/​list-accounts.js --app-slug <slug> (use pipedream_account_id)
  3. Find action: node scripts/​search-actions.js --query <word> --app-slug <slug> (action_id = key)
  4. Create integration: node scripts/​create-integration.js --action-id <id> --app-slug <slug> --account-id <id> --configured-props <json>
  5. Add tools to agent node via flow_agent_app_integration_tools

Database CRUD

  1. List tables: node scripts/​list-tables.js
  2. Query: node scripts/​query-rows.js --table <name> --filters <json>
  3. Create/​update/​delete with row scripts

Graph rules

  • Exactly one start node with id = start
  • Never change existing node IDs
  • Use {node_type}_{timestamp_ms} for new node IDs
  • Non-decide nodes have 0 or 1 outgoing next edge
  • Decide edge labels must match conditions[].label
  • Edge keys are source/target/label (not from/to)

For full schema details, see references/​graph-contract.md.

Function rules

async function handler(request, env) {
  // Parse input
  const body = await request.json();
  // Use env.KV and env.DB as needed
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ result: "ok" }));
}
  • Do NOT use export, export default, or arrow functions
  • Return a Response object

Execution context

Always use this structure:

  • vars - user-defined variables
  • system - system variables
  • context - channel data
  • metadata - request metadata

Scripts

Workflows

ScriptPurpose
list-workflows.jsList workflows (metadata only)
get-workflow.jsGet workflow metadata
create-workflow.jsCreate a workflow
update-workflow-settings.jsUpdate workflow settings

Graph

ScriptPurpose
get-graph.jsGet workflow graph + lock_version
edit-graph.jsPatch graph via string replacement
update-graph.jsReplace entire graph
validate-graph.jsValidate graph structure locally

Triggers

ScriptPurpose
list-triggers.jsList triggers for a workflow
create-trigger.jsCreate a trigger
update-trigger.jsEnable/​disable a trigger
delete-trigger.jsDelete a trigger
list-whatsapp-phone-numbers.jsList phone numbers for trigger setup

Executions

ScriptPurpose
list-executions.jsList executions
get-execution.jsGet execution details
get-context-value.jsRead value from execution context
update-execution-status.jsForce execution state
resume-execution.jsResume waiting execution
list-execution-events.jsList execution events

Functions

ScriptPurpose
list-functions.jsList project functions
get-function.jsGet function details + code
create-function.jsCreate a function
update-function.jsUpdate function code
deploy-function.jsDeploy function to runtime
invoke-function.jsInvoke function with payload
list-function-invocations.jsList function invocations

App integrations

ScriptPurpose
list-apps.jsSearch integration apps
search-actions.jsSearch actions (action_id = key)
get-action-schema.jsGet action JSON schema
list-accounts.jsList connected accounts
create-connect-token.jsCreate OAuth connect link
configure-prop.jsResolve remote_options for a prop
reload-props.jsReload dynamic props
list-integrations.jsList saved integrations
create-integration.jsCreate an integration
update-integration.jsUpdate an integration
delete-integration.jsDelete an integration

Databases

ScriptPurpose
list-tables.jsList D1 tables
get-table.jsGet table schema + sample rows
query-rows.jsQuery rows with filters
create-row.jsCreate a row
update-row.jsUpdate rows
upsert-row.jsUpsert a row
delete-row.jsDelete rows

OpenAPI

ScriptPurpose
openapi-explore.mjsExplore OpenAPI (search/​op/​schema/​where)

Install deps (once):

npm i

Examples:

node scripts/​openapi-explore.mjs --spec workflows search "variables"
node scripts/​openapi-explore.mjs --spec workflows op getWorkflowVariables
node scripts/​openapi-explore.mjs --spec platform op queryDatabaseRows

Notes

  • Prefer file paths over inline JSON (--definition-file, --code-file)
  • action_id is the same as key from search-actions
  • --account-id uses pipedream_account_id from list-accounts
  • Variable CRUD (variables-set.js, variables-delete.js) is blocked - Platform API doesn't support it
  • Raw SQL execution is not supported via Platform API
