Observe WhatsApp

When to use

Use this skill for operational diagnostics: message delivery investigation, webhook delivery debugging, error triage, and WhatsApp health checks.

Setup

Env vars:

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

How to

Investigate message delivery

1. List messages: node scripts/messages.js --phone-number-id <id>
2. Inspect message: node scripts/message-details.js --message-id <id>
3. Find conversation: node scripts/lookup-conversation.js --phone-number <e164>

Triage errors

1. Message errors: node scripts/errors.js
2. API logs: node scripts/api-logs.js
3. Webhook deliveries: node scripts/webhook-deliveries.js

Run health checks

1. Project overview: node scripts/overview.js
2. Phone number health: node scripts/whatsapp-health.js --phone-number-id <id>
