What the WhatsApp connector can do
WhatsApp's business platform lets companies message customers at scale using approved templates, webhooks, and a verified business profile. In type.com, a support or marketing Space can ask Claude to draft a new template, check what templates already exist, or pull a business profile's details, keeping template approvals and messaging decisions visible to the whole team.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect WhatsApp once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative triggers
- Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting WhatsApp
Can Claude manage WhatsApp templates from type.com?
Yes. With a WhatsApp connection shared to a Space, ask Claude in a thread to list, create, or delete message templates, and the whole team sees the same results.
How does type.com authenticate with WhatsApp Business?
WhatsApp supports OAuth sign-in or an API key, depending on how the account is set up. An admin configures it once on the connection and chooses which Spaces can use it.
Who on the team can send WhatsApp messages through the agent?
Only members of a Space that the WhatsApp connection has been shared with can ask the agent to act on it, so template and messaging access stays limited to the right team.
Is this the same as a WhatsApp MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
