Can Rasa integrate with whatsapp api ,if yes then how?

Hi, @rasafan ! Unfortunately Chat-API is not free, you will have to pay a monthly fee to use it. The good thing is that they do not charge for individual message delivery, so you can send a large number of messages for the same price.

It is not problem to pay, but can I use my own number for wp business api with chat api?

Hello, @rasafan :slight_smile: So is! You can use your personal number or a business phone number. Any of the options Only one account is created and a session similar to “Web WhatsApp” is started. Once this is done, they will provide you with a token number and an identification number. These values will be useful for communication with Rasa. I use the Rasa callback to make the link. In the output, I transform the buttons into lists to avoid sending buttons to WhatsApp (since WhatsApp is not compatible with the buttons, at the moment :weary:).

WhatsApp Business API: Twilio provides $ 15 to test Whatsapp through the sandbox, just create a webhook and consume Rasa using the HTTP API. Another unofficial way is by using this project: GitHub - mukulhase/WebWhatsapp-Wrapper: An API for sending and receiving messages over web.whatsapp [Working as of 18th May 2018]

Hi, @Xaviertoor ! As a negative point of Twilio is that a commercial number is necessary. On the other hand, Chat-Api can be used from minute 1 with a commercial number or a personal number. On the other hand, the GitHub link is excellent. I will read more about him.

To create a whatsapp chatbot with rasa, you would need to apply for whatsapp official API. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/api/reference there is also a Whatsapp API community about it Facebook Groups

Hey @matias18233 can you show how you configured it work with Chat-Api please Thanks, Eden

Of course, @jusce17 ! I prepare the files and share them

index.php (1.1 KB) tuberia_chat-api_libreria.php (1.5 KB)

Rasa will have to give an answer by a URL in particular, making use of “callback”. This “callback” will be in charge of interpreting the response returned by rasa and transforming it into a format compatible with the “index.php” file. This file receives two parameters via GET: telefono: (recipient phone number) texto: (message to send) via Chat-Api. Important note: it is necessary to configure the “index.php” file with the configuration data that Chat-Api delivers: “num instance” (replace with NUM-INSTANCE) and “token secret” (replace with TOKEN -CHAT-API).
