Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
WhatsApp Business	`whatsapp`	`app`	This component uses the WhatsApp Business app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`httpInterface`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Authentication#

WhatsApp Business uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your WhatsApp Business account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to WhatsApp Business APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To connect your WhatsApp Business Cloud account to Pipedream, follow the steps below to find your Business Account ID and your Permanent Access Token.

For additional info on setting up a WhatsApp Business account, refer to their getting started docs.
