Description
WhatsApp Business API integration with managed OAuth. Send messages, manage templates, and handle conversations. Use this skill when users want to interact w...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust Maton as an intermediary for WhatsApp Business account access and message data. Keep MATON_API_KEY private, confirm recipients, connection IDs, message contents, and destructive changes before writes, and revoke unused OAuth connections.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: whatsapp-business
Version: 1.0.4
The skill is a standard API integration for WhatsApp Business via the maton.ai proxy service. It provides functional Python and JavaScript examples for messaging and account management, correctly utilizes the MATON_API_KEY environment variable for authentication, and includes explicit instructions in SKILL.md for the AI agent to obtain user approval before performing any write operations. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or obfuscation were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The capabilities match the stated purpose: sending WhatsApp messages, managing templates, media, phone numbers, business profiles, and OAuth connections. These can affect customer communications but are disclosed and purpose-aligned.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions explicitly require user approval before create, update, or delete operations, and advise specifying a connection ID when multiple WhatsApp Business connections exist.
Install Mechanism
The package contains a single non-executable SKILL.md documentation file with API examples; there are no install scripts, dependencies, background workers, or hidden helpers.
Credentials
Network access and MATON_API_KEY are required, and WhatsApp request data is routed through api.maton.ai; this is expected for the managed OAuth proxy model and is disclosed in the artifact.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill can create and delete Maton OAuth connections, and active delegated access may persist until revoked or deleted; this is expected for the integration and should be managed carefully.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
