What it does
The Nex WhatsApp Business Notify skill generates a complete Python integration for the Meta WhatsApp Business Cloud API. It provides a robust messaging client that handles the complexities of the WhatsApp 24-hour customer service window by providing dedicated helpers for free-form text and approved templates.
Why use this skill
Implementing WhatsApp Business is more complex than simple HTTP calls; you have to manage session windows, template approvals, and strict webhook security. This skill builds a complete, production-ready notify channel that includes:
- Dual-Mode Sending: Explicit
send_text(inside window) andsend_template(outside window) methods to prevent silent message drops. - Security First: Full implementation of the GET handshake verification and
X-Hub-Signature-256constant-time comparison for inbound webhooks. - Zero Hardcoding: Pre-configured for environment variables, ensuring your tokens and secrets never leak into source control.
- Clean Failure Model: Returns structured status results instead of crashing your backend on API errors.
Supported tools
Designed for Python backends using httpx for async/sync requests. It is framework-agnostic, making it compatible with FastAPI, Flask, Django, or standalone worker scripts.
