## Summary
`Whatsapp::IncomingMessageBaseService#attach_location` builds a
`fallback_title` by concatenating `location['name']` and
`location['address']` with no length cap, then stores it directly into
`Attachment#fallback_title`. `ApplicationRecord` enforces a generic
255-character limit on string columns, so any WhatsApp location whose
`"#{name}, #{address}"` exceeds 255 chars (a common case for Google
Places that include a long full address) raises
`ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid` deep inside the Sidekiq job. The message
and attachment INSERTs are part of the same transaction, so the whole
thing rolls back. Sidekiq retries once; the retry dedup-skips the wamid
silently and exits without an error. **Result: the message is
irrecoverably lost — no row in `messages`, no entry in the UI, no
outgoing webhook, no clue for the operator.**
Confirmed in `v4.13.0`, `v4.14.0`, and `develop` (commit `f33e469`,
2026-05-20). No upstream issue found before opening this PR.
## How to reproduce
1. From WhatsApp, share a Google Place whose `name + ", " + address` is
> 255 chars. The Spanish business address `Gremi de Fusters, 33,
Edificio VIP Asima, Piso 2, Local 2, Norte, 07009 Polígon industrial de
Son Castelló, Illes Balears, España` (132 chars) used as both `name` and
`address` is enough.
2. Sidekiq logs:
```
ERROR ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed:
Attachments fallback title is too long (maximum is 255 characters)
```
3. The `messages` table has no row. The conversation UI shows nothing
for that timestamp.
4. The first retry "Performed" successfully but creates nothing — the
dedup-by-source-id silently swallows the failure.
## Fix
Cap the existing concatenated title at 255 chars via `.first(255)`.
Minimal change, no behavioural difference for any message shorter than
the limit, prevents the silent data loss for any longer ones.
```diff
- location_name = location['name'] ? "#{location['name']}, #{location['address']}" : ''
+ location_name = (location['name'] ? "#{location['name']}, #{location['address']}" : '').first(255)
```
## Alternatives considered
- **Increase the validation limit on `Attachment#fallback_title`**: more
invasive; would touch other inbound channels and possibly require a DB
column change.
- **Use `name` alone (no concat)**: cleaner semantically (in many real
payloads `name == address`), but changes user-visible behaviour. Left as
a follow-up if desired.
- **Truncate with ellipsis**: cosmetic only; deferred.
This PR is intentionally minimal so it can be merged on its own.

## Description
This PR adds support for sending voice messages (voice notes) through
the WhatsApp Cloud API. When agents record audio in Chatwoot, it is now
transcoded in the browser from WebM/Opus to OGG/Opus and sent with the
`voice: true` flag, so it appears as a native voice note bubble on
WhatsApp — not as a file/document attachment.
Closes#13283
**Key Changes:**
- Added `webmOpusToOgg.js` — a pure JS EBML parser + OGG page builder
that remuxes browser-recorded WebM/Opus audio into OGG/Opus entirely
client-side, with no server-side dependencies.
- Updated `AudioRecorder.vue` to use an explicit `mimeType` hint, proper
resource cleanup, and an `AUDIO_EXTENSION_MAP` for correct file
extensions.
- Renamed `mp3ConversionUtils.js` → `audioConversionUtils.js` and added
OGG conversion support via the new remuxer.
- Updated `ReplyBox.vue` to request OGG format for WhatsApp channels,
pass `isVoiceMessage` per-attachment, and handle recording errors with a
user-facing alert.
- Updated `MessageBuilder` to read the `is_voice_message` param and
persist it in attachment metadata.
- Updated `WhatsappCloudService` to:
- Normalize `audio/opus` → `audio/ogg` content type on ActiveStorage
blobs (works around Marcel gem re-detection).
- Send the `voice: true` flag when the attachment is a voice message
with `audio/ogg` content type.
- Use WhatsApp Cloud API `v24.0` for the attachment endpoint.
- Added `AUDIO_CONVERSION_FAILED` i18n key.
**How it works:**
1. The browser records audio as WebM/Opus (Chrome/Firefox default).
2. `audioConversionUtils.js` remuxes it to OGG/Opus using the pure-JS
`webmOpusToOgg` remuxer — no server transcoding needed.
3. The OGG file is uploaded with `is_voice_message: true` in the form
payload.
4. `MessageBuilder` persists `is_voice_message` in the attachment's
`meta` hash.
5. `WhatsappCloudService` normalizes the blob content type if needed,
then sends the attachment with `voice: true` so WhatsApp renders it as a
voice note.
## Type of change
- [X] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## How Has This Been Tested?
1. Record a voice message in a WhatsApp Cloud conversation.
2. Verify the audio is transcoded to OGG (check file extension in the
attachment preview).
3. Verify the message arrives on WhatsApp as a voice note bubble (not a
document/file).
4. Send an image or document attachment and verify it still works as
before (no `voice` flag).
5. Send a regular (non-voice) audio file and verify it arrives without
the voice flag.

## Summary
One-off SMS and WhatsApp campaigns now show a `Processing` state while
the audience send is in progress. The campaign moves to `Completed`
after processing finishes, and already-processing campaigns are skipped
by the scheduler to avoid duplicate sends.
## Closes
- [CW-6037: feat: Introduce an in-progress status for
campaigns](https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6037/feat-introduce-an-in-progress-status-for-campaigns)
## Screenshot

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/de7913b5-65fb-4121-9034-24a568eb0382"
/>
## What changed
- Added `processing` as a campaign status.
- Mark one-off campaigns as `processing` under a row lock before the
send service runs.
- Complete SMS, Twilio SMS, and WhatsApp one-off campaigns after
audience processing finishes.
- Keep campaigns in `processing` if an unexpected service error escapes,
so the scheduler does not automatically resend the audience.
- Added the `Processing` label for SMS and WhatsApp campaign cards.
## Known operational behavior
If a worker is interrupted or an unexpected service error escapes after
a campaign is marked `processing`, the campaign can remain in
`processing`. This is intentional for now to avoid automatic
full-audience resends. Installation admins can decide whether to mark
the campaign completed or restart it manually from the Rails console
after checking what was sent.
## How to test
- Create a one-off SMS or WhatsApp campaign scheduled for now.
- Run the scheduled job or trigger the campaign job.
- Confirm the campaign card shows `Processing` while the audience is
being processed. For small audiences, refresh during processing or use a
larger audience so the state is observable.
- Confirm the campaign moves to `Completed` after audience processing
finishes.
- Confirm an already-processing campaign is not enqueued again by the
scheduled job.
In WhatsApp coexistence setups (Business App + Cloud API on the same
number), some inbound customer messages arrive from Meta as `type:
unsupported` with error `131060` ("This message is unavailable") and no
content — typically the first message of a Click-to-WhatsApp /
Instagram-ad conversation, or a message synced from a companion device.
Chatwoot was dropping these webhooks entirely, so no contact,
conversation, or message was created. The conversation only surfaced
once an agent replied (via an `smb_message_echoes` event), starting
"headless" with zero customer context.
This change persists a placeholder message for these events so the
contact and conversation are created, and renders it with the dedicated
unsupported-message bubble that points agents to the WhatsApp app —
where the original message is still visible.

## How to reproduce
1. Connect a WhatsApp Cloud (coexistence) inbox.
2. Receive an inbound message that Meta delivers as `type: unsupported`
with error `131060` (e.g. a Click-to-WhatsApp ad message, or a message
handled on a companion/primary device that fails to sync to the API).
3. **Before:** nothing is created — the conversation only appears after
an agent replies, with no record of the customer's first message.
4. **After:** the contact and conversation are created with an incoming
placeholder message rendered as the amber "unsupported" bubble: _"This
message is unsupported. You can view this message on the WhatsApp app."

Adds storage support for WhatsApp business-scoped user identifiers
received from Meta Cloud API and Twilio WhatsApp webhooks. The change
keeps existing phone-based behavior intact, stores BSUID and parent
BSUID values as additional `contact_inboxes.source_id` rows for the same
contact, and allows BSUID-only inbound messages to create contacts,
conversations, and messages without requiring a phone number.
Related: https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/13837
**What changed**
- Extended WhatsApp source ID validation to accept regular BSUID and
parent BSUID formats.
- For Meta Cloud API, stores phone, `user_id`, and `parent_user_id`
identifiers as contact inbox source IDs when they are present.
- For Twilio WhatsApp, stores phone, `ExternalUserId`, and
`ParentExternalUserId` identifiers as contact inbox source IDs while
preserving the existing `whatsapp:` Twilio source ID shape.
- Supports BSUID-only inbound messages by creating a contact, contact
inbox, conversation, and message even when the phone number is missing.
- Links phone-first and later BSUID-only messages to the same contact
when the first payload contains both phone and BSUID.
- Stores WhatsApp usernames in contact `additional_attributes`, matching
existing social channel patterns.
- Keeps existing phone-based outbound and new-conversation behavior
unchanged for this milestone.
**How to test**
1. Send a Meta Cloud webhook payload with both `wa_id` and `user_id`.
2. Verify Chatwoot creates or finds the phone `contact_inbox` and also
creates a BSUID `contact_inbox` for the same contact.
3. Send a later Meta Cloud payload for the same user with only `user_id`
/ `from_user_id`.
4. Verify Chatwoot finds the BSUID `contact_inbox` and creates the
inbound message without requiring a phone number.
5. Send a Twilio WhatsApp webhook with `From: whatsapp:+E164`,
`ExternalUserId`, and optionally `ParentExternalUserId`.
6. Verify Chatwoot stores the Twilio phone and BSUID identifiers as
`whatsapp:`-prefixed source IDs for the same contact.
7. Send a Twilio WhatsApp webhook where `From` is `whatsapp:<BSUID>` and
there is no phone number.
8. Verify Chatwoot creates the contact, contact inbox, conversation, and
message without a phone number.

Adds the server-side flow that turns Meta WhatsApp Cloud Calling
webhooks into Chatwoot Calls, conversations, voice_call message bubbles,
and ActionCable broadcasts. Stacked on top of #14312 (PR-2 — provider
methods); intentionally does not include the HTTP controller, routes, or
frontend (those land in PR-4 and PR-9).
## Closes
- Part of the WhatsApp Cloud Calling rollout. Linear: TBD
## What changed
**Webhook routing**
- `app/jobs/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` — append
`prepend_mod_with('Webhooks::WhatsappEventsJob')` so EE can extend it
without forking.
- `enterprise/app/jobs/enterprise/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` (new)
— overlay that prepends `handle_message_events` to intercept `field:
'calls'` payloads (route to `Whatsapp::IncomingCallService`) and
`interactive.call_permission_reply` messages (route to
`Whatsapp::CallPermissionReplyService`); falls through with `super` for
regular messages.
**Services**
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service.rb` (new) —
gated on `provider_config['calling_enabled']`; processes `connect`
(creates inbound call via `Voice::InboundCallBuilder` or transitions an
existing outbound call to `in_progress`) and `terminate` events; updates
conversation `additional_attributes` and broadcasts
`voice_call.incoming`/`voice_call.outbound_connected`/`voice_call.ended`.
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service.rb`
(new) — handles WhatsApp interactive `call_permission_reply` replies;
clears the conversation's `call_permission_requested_at` flag and
broadcasts `voice_call.permission_granted` so the agent UI can re-enable
the call button.
**Builder/model adjustments**
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/inbound_call_builder.rb` —
provider-agnostic; accepts `provider:` and `extra_meta:` kwargs, drops
`account:` (now derived from `inbox.account` to keep the param count
under rubocop's ceiling without disabling cops), uses digits-only
`source_id` for WhatsApp ContactInbox (validation requires
`^\d{1,15}\z`), skips Twilio-only `conference_sid` for non-Twilio
providers.
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/call_message_builder.rb` — adds
`create!`/`update_status!` API and `CALL_TO_VOICE_STATUS` map; uses
direct `Message.create!` (bypasses `Messages::MessageBuilder`'s
incoming-on-non-Api-inbox guard, which would otherwise reject the system
bubble); content is `'WhatsApp Call'` for WhatsApp and `'Voice Call'`
for Twilio. Backwards-compatible `perform!` retained for the existing
Twilio call sites.
- `enterprise/app/models/call.rb` — adds `default_ice_servers` (driven
by `VOICE_CALL_STUN_URLS` env), `direction_label` alias for the
`inbound`/`outbound` strings the FE expects, and
`ringing?`/`in_progress?`/`terminal?` predicates used throughout the
pipeline.
**Outgoing-channel guard**
- `app/services/base/send_on_channel_service.rb` — extends
`invalid_message?` to skip messages with `content_type == 'voice_call'`.
Without this, agent-initiated outbound calls (PR-4) would deliver
\"WhatsApp Call\" as a text message to the contact every time.
**Twilio call-site update**
- `enterprise/app/controllers/twilio/voice_controller.rb` — drops the
now-redundant `account: current_account` kwarg from the
`Voice::InboundCallBuilder.perform!` call.
**Tests**
- New: `spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service_spec.rb`
(5 examples — calling-disabled, inbound connect, outbound connect,
terminate completed, terminate no-answer, unknown event).
- New:
`spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service_spec.rb`
(3 examples — accept, reject, calling-disabled).
- Updated: `spec/enterprise/services/voice/inbound_call_builder_spec.rb`
and `spec/enterprise/controllers/twilio/voice_controller_spec.rb` to
drop the `account:` kwarg from call expectations.
## How to test
In `rails console` against an account with a WhatsApp inbox where
`provider_config['calling_enabled']` is true:
```ruby
inbox = Inbox.find(<id>)
params = { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', from: '15550001111', event: 'connect',
session: { sdp: 'v=0...', sdp_type: 'offer' } }] }
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox, params: params).perform
# => Conversation + Call (status: 'ringing', provider: 'whatsapp') + voice_call message bubble
# => ActionCable broadcasts `voice_call.incoming` to the assignee or account-wide
# Then terminate it:
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox,
params: { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', event: 'terminate', duration: 0, terminate_reason: 'no_answer' }] }
).perform
# => Call status flips to 'no_answer', message bubble updates, `voice_call.ended` broadcast fires
```
End-to-end browser flow (Meta → cable → UI) requires the controller from
PR-4 and the frontend from PR-9.

CSAT templates for WhatsApp are submitted as Utility, but Meta may
reclassify them as Marketing based on content, which can significantly
increase messaging costs.
This PR introduces a Captain-powered CSAT template analyzer for
WhatsApp/Twilio WhatsApp that predicts utility fit, explains likely
risks, and suggests safer rewrites before submission. The flow is manual
(button-triggered), Captain-gated, and applies rewrites only on explicit
user action. It also updates UX copy to clearly set expectations: the
system submits as Utility, Meta makes the final categorization decision.

Some customers using WhatsApp inboxes with account-level webhooks were
reporting receiving duplicate `message_created` webhook deliveries for
every incoming message. Upon inspection, here's what we found
- Both payloads are identical.
- No errors appear in the application logs
- Webhook URL is only configured in one place.
This meant, the system was sending the webhooks twice. For some context,
there's a know related issue... Meta's WhatsApp Business API can deliver
the same webhook notification multiple times for a single message. The
codebase already acknowledges this — there's a comment in
`IncomingMessageBaseService#process_messages` noting that "multiple
webhook events can be received against the same message due to
misconfigurations in the Meta business manager account." A deduplication
guard exists, but it doesn't actually work under concurrency.
### Rationale
The existing dedup was a three-step sequence: check Redis (`GET`), check
the database, then set a Redis flag (`SETEX`). Two Sidekiq workers
processing duplicate Meta webhooks simultaneously would both complete
the `GET` before either executed the `SETEX`, so both would proceed to
create a message. The `source_id` column has a non-unique index, so the
database wouldn't catch the duplicate either. Each message then
independently fires `after_create_commit`, dispatching two
`message_created` webhook events to the customer.
```
Worker A Worker B
│ │
▼ ▼
Redis GET key ──► nil Redis GET key ──► nil
│ │
│ ◄── both pass guard ──► │
│ │
▼ ▼
Redis SETEX key Redis SETEX key
│ │
▼ ▼
BEGIN transaction BEGIN transaction
INSERT message INSERT message
DELETE Redis key ◄─┐ │

B's commit lands
▼ ▼
after_create_commit after_create_commit
dispatch MESSAGE_CREATED dispatch MESSAGE_CREATED
│ │
▼ ▼
WebhookJob ──► n8n WebhookJob ──► n8n
(duplicate!)
```
There was a second, subtler problem visible in the diagram: the Redis
key was cleared *inside* the database transaction, before the
transaction committed. This opened a window where neither the Redis
check nor the database check would see the in-flight message.
The fix collapses the check-and-set into a single `SET NX EX` call,
which is atomic in Redis. The key is no longer eagerly cleared — it
expires naturally after 24 hours. The database lookup
(`find_message_by_source_id`) remains as a fallback for messages that
were created before the lock expired.
```
Worker A Worker B
│ │
▼ ▼
Redis SET NX ──► OK Redis SET NX ──► nil
│ │
▼ ▼
proceeds to create returns early
message normally (lock already held)
```
### Implementation Notes
The lock logic is extracted into `Whatsapp::MessageDedupLock`, a small
class that wraps a single `Redis SET NX EX` call. This makes the
concurrency guarantee testable in isolation — the spec uses a
`CyclicBarrier` to race two threads against the same key and asserts
exactly one wins, without needing database writes,
`use_transactional_tests = false`, or monkey-patching.
Because the Redis lock now persists (instead of being cleared
mid-transaction), existing WhatsApp specs needed an `after` hook to
clean up `MESSAGE_SOURCE_KEY::*` keys between examples. Transactional
fixtures only roll back the database, not Redis.
This change https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/13371 broke the
functionality. When a user replies to a WhatsApp message, the reply
context wasn't being properly stored in Chatwoot due to #13371
WhatsApp sends reply messages with a `context` field containing the
original message ID:
```json
{
"messages": [{
"context": {
"from": "phone_number",
"id": "wamid.ORIGINAL_MESSAGE_ID"
},
"from": "phone_number",
"id": "wamid.REPLY_MESSAGE_ID",
"text": { "body": "This is a reply" }
}]
}
```
However, the in_reply_to_external_id was being overridden when building
the message because content_attributes was explicitly set to either {
external_echo: true } or {}, which discarded the reply-to information.
Upgrade rails to 7.2.2 so that we can proceed with the rails 8 upgrade

#### Problem
Meta requires the app to be subscribed to the WABA before
`override_callback_uri` can be used. The current implementation tries to
use `override_callback_uri` directly, which fails with:
> Error 100: "Before override the current callback uri, your app must be
subscribed to receive messages for WhatsApp Business Account"
This causes embedded signup to fail silently, the inbox appears
connected but never receives messages.
#### Solution
Split `subscribe_waba_webhook` into two sequential API calls:
```ruby
def subscribe_waba_webhook(waba_id, callback_url, verify_token)
# Step 1: Subscribe app to WABA first (required before override)
subscribe_app_to_waba(waba_id)
# Step 2: Override callback URL for this specific WABA
override_waba_callback(waba_id, callback_url, verify_token)
end
```

When businesses use WhatsApp Business App (co-existence mode) or
Instagram App or TikTok alongside Chatwoot, messages sent from the
native apps were not synced properly back to Chatwoot. This left agents
with an incomplete conversation history and no visibility into responses
sent outside the dashboard. Additionally, if these echo messages did
arrive, they appeared as "Sent by: Bot" in the UI since they had no
sender, making it confusing for agents.
This PR subscribes to WhatsApp `smb_message_echoes` webhook events and
routes them through the existing service with an `outgoing_echo` flag,
mirroring how Instagram already handles echoes. On the Instagram side,
echo messages now also carry the `external_echo` content attribute and
`delivered` status.
On the frontend, messages with `externalEcho` are distinguished from bot
messages showing a "Native app" avatar and an advisory note encouraging
agents to reply from Chatwoot to maintain the service window.

### What
Forces `account_id` to be applied consistently in queries and message creation paths.
### Why
Some queries were missing `account_id`, leading to cross-account scans and slow performance in large datasets.
### Changes
* Added `account_id` to the relevant query columns.
* Ensured messages are always created within the correct account scope.
* Updated `created_at` handling where required for consistency.
### Impact
* Prevents cross-account queries.
* Improves query performance.
* Reduces risk of incorrect data access across accounts.
### Notes
No functional behavior change for end users. This is a performance and safety fix.
Fixes https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/13317
Fixes an issue where WhatsApp attachment messages (images, audio, video,
documents) were failing to download. Messages were being created but
without attachments.
The `phone_number_id` parameter was being passed to the `GET
/<MEDIA_ID>` endpoint when downloading incoming media. According to
Meta's documentation:
> "Note that `phone_number_id` is optional. If included, the request
will only be processed if the business phone number ID included in the
query matches the ID of the business
phone number **that the media was uploaded on**."
For incoming messages, media is uploaded by the customer, not by the
business phone number. Passing the business's `phone_number_id` causes
validation to fail with error: `Param phone_number_id is not a valid
whatsapp business phone number id ID`
This PR removes the `phone_number_id` parameter from the media URL
request for incoming messages.
Fixes https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/13097
### Problem
The PR #12176 removed the `before_save :setup_webhooks` callback to fix
a race condition where Meta's webhook verification request arrived
before the channel was saved to the database. This change broke manual
WhatsApp Cloud channel setup. While embedded signup explicitly calls
`channel.setup_webhooks` in `EmbeddedSignupService`, manual setup had no
equivalent call - meaning the `subscribed_apps` endpoint was never
invoked and Meta never sent webhook events to Chatwoot.
### Solution
Added an `after_commit` callback that triggers webhook setup for manual
WhatsApp Cloud channels
This PR add the backend changes for the feature [sending CSAT surveys
via WhatsApp message templates

This PR fixes URL parsing errors when WhatsApp template parameters
contain URLs with spaces or special characters. The solution adds proper
URL normalization using Addressable::URI before validation, which
automatically handles space encoding and special character
normalization.

Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-5692/whatsapp-es-numbers-stuck-in-pending-due-to-premature-registration
### Problem
Multiple customers reported that their WhatsApp numbers remain stuck in
**Pending** in WhatsApp Manager even after successful onboarding.
- Our system triggers a **registration call**
(`/<PHONE_NUMBER_ID>/register`) as soon as the number is OTP verified.
- In many cases, Meta hasn’t finished **display name
review/provisioning**, so the call fails with:
```
code: 100, error_subcode: 2388001
error_user_title: "Cannot Create Certificate"
error_user_msg: "Your display name could not be processed. Please edit
your display name and try again."
```
- This leaves the number stuck in Pending, no messaging can start until
we manually retry registration.
- Some customers have reported being stuck in this state for **7+
days**.
### Root cause
- We only check `code_verification_status = VERIFIED` before attempting
registration.
- We **don’t wait** for display name provisioning (`name_status` /
`platform_type`) to be complete.
- As a result, registration fails prematurely and the number never
transitions out of Pending.
### Solution
#### 1. Health Status Monitoring
- Build a backend service to fetch **real-time health data** from Graph
API:
- `code_verification_status`
- `name_status` / `display_name_status`
- `platform_type`
- `throughput.level`
- `messaging_limit_tier`
- `quality_rating`
- Expose health data via API
(`/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/inboxes/:id/health`).
- Display this in the UI as an **Account Health tab** with clear badges
and direct links to WhatsApp Manager.
#### 2. Smarter Registration Logic
- Update `WebhookSetupService` to include a **dual-condition check**:
- Register if:
1. Phone is **not verified**, OR
2. Phone is **verified but provisioning incomplete** (`platform_type =
NOT_APPLICABLE`, `throughput.level = NOT_APPLICABLE`).
- Skip registration if number is already provisioned.
- Retry registration automatically when stuck.
- Provide a UI banner with complete registration button so customers can
retry without manual support.

## Description
This pull request introduces an optional parameter, `phone_number_id`,
to the WhatsApp API call responsible for retrieving media. The addition
of this parameter allows for greater flexibility when interacting with
the WhatsApp API, as it can now accommodate scenarios where specifying a
particular phone number ID is necessary. This change is backward
compatible and does not affect existing functionality if the parameter
is not provided.
Fixes # (issue)
## Type of change
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## How Has This Been Tested?
The changes were tested locally by invoking the WhatsApp media retrieval
API with and without the `phone_number_id` parameter. Both scenarios
were verified to ensure that:
- When `phone_number_id` is provided, the API call includes the
parameter and functions as expected.
- When `phone_number_id` is omitted, the API call continues to work as
before, maintaining backward compatibility.
No errors or warnings were observed during testing, and all relevant
unit tests passed successfully.

WhatsApp templates without parameters (body-only templates like
notifications, confirmations) were failing to send with the error:
ArgumentError (Unknown legacy format: NilClass). This affected all
parameter-less templates across marketing messages, notifications, and
utility templates.
WhatsApp template message errors were not being properly handled because
the `@message instance` variable was only set in the `send_message`
method but not in `send_template`. When template sending failed, the
`handle_error` method couldn't update the message status due to the
missing @message reference, resulting in silent failures with no user
feedback.
## Summary
- handle Twilio failures per contact when running one-off SMS campaigns
- rescue errors in WhatsApp and generic SMS one-off campaigns so they
continue
- add specs confirming campaigns continue sending when a single contact
fails

This update adds support to the coexistence method to Embedded Whatsapp,
allowing users to add their existing whatsapp business number in order
to use it in both places(chatwoot and whatsapp business) at the same
time.
This update require some changes in the permissions for the Meta App, as
described in the Meta Oficial Docs, I'll leave this listed below:
- **history** — describes past messages the business customer has
sent/received
- **smb_app_state_sync** — describes the business customer's current and
new contacts
- **smb_message_echoes** — describes any new messages the business
customer sends with the WhatsApp Business app after having been
onboarded

## What we have changed:
We have added support for WhatsApp campaigns as requested in the
discussion.
Ref: https://github.com/orgs/chatwoot/discussions/8465
**Note:** This implementation doesn't exactly match the maintainer's
specification and variable support is missing. This is an initial
implementation that provides the core WhatsApp campaign functionality.
### Changes included:
**Backend:**
- Added `template_params` column to campaigns table (migration + schema)
- Created `Whatsapp::OneoffCampaignService` for WhatsApp campaign
execution
- Updated campaign model to support WhatsApp inbox types
- Added template_params support to campaign controller and API
**Frontend:**
- Added WhatsApp campaign page, dialog, and form components
- Updated campaign store to filter WhatsApp campaigns separately
- Added WhatsApp-specific routes and empty state
- Updated i18n translations for WhatsApp campaigns
- Modified sidebar to include WhatsApp campaigns navigation
This provides a foundation for WhatsApp campaigns that can be extended
with variable support and other enhancements in future iterations.

## Description
This PR introduces WhatsApp Embedded Signup functionality, enabling
users to connect their WhatsApp Business accounts through Meta's
streamlined OAuth flow without manual webhook configuration. This
significantly improves the user experience by automating the entire
setup process.
**Key Features:**
- Embedded signup flow using Facebook SDK and Meta's OAuth 2.0
- Automatic webhook registration and phone number configuration
- Enhanced provider selection UI with card-based design
- Real-time progress tracking during signup process
- Comprehensive error handling and user feedback
## Required Configuration
The following environment variables must be configured by administrators
before this feature can be used:
Super Admin Configuration (via
super_admin/app_config?config=whatsapp_embedded)
- `WHATSAPP_APP_ID`: The Facebook App ID for WhatsApp Business API
integration
- `WHATSAPP_CONFIGURATION_ID`: The Configuration ID for WhatsApp
Embedded Signup flow (obtained from Meta Developer Portal)
- `WHATSAPP_APP_SECRET`: The App Secret for WhatsApp Embedded Signup
flow (required for token exchange)

## How Has This Been Tested?
#### Backend Tests (RSpec):
- Authentication validation for embedded signup endpoints
- Authorization code validation and error handling
- Missing business parameter validation
- Proper response format for configuration endpoint
- Unauthorized access prevention
#### Manual Test Cases:
- Complete embedded signup flow (happy path)
- Provider selection UI navigation
- Facebook authentication popup handling
- Error scenarios (cancelled auth, invalid business data, API failures)
- Configuration presence/absence behavior

The expected payload on WhatsApp Cloud API is the following.
```json
{
"template": {
"name": "TEMPLATE_NAME",
"language": {
"code": "LANGUAGE_AND_LOCALE_CODE"
},
"components": [
"<NAMED_PARAMETER_INPUT>",
"<POSITIONAL_PARAMETER_INPUT>"
]
}
}
```
Named templates expect a `parameter_name`
```json
{
"type": "body",
"parameters": [
{
"type": "text",
"parameter_name": "customer_name",
"text": "John"
},
{
"type": "text",
"parameter_name": "order_id",
"text": "9128312831"
}
]
}
```
In this PR, we would check if the template is a name template, then we
would send the `parameter_name` as well.

In this PR https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/11139, if there is
an attempt to create a duplication session for the contact in the same
inbox, we will anonymize the old session.
This PR would prevent sending messages to the older sessions. The
support agents will have to create a new conversation to continue
messages with customer.
This PR adds missing error handlers for the following channels and cases
1. WhatsApp - Generic Handlers for both Cloud and 360Dialog (Deprecated)
2. Instagram - Handler for a case where there is an HTTP error instead
of an `:error` in the 200 response
3. Facebook - Errors from the two sentry issues
([Net::OpenTimeout](https://chatwoot-p3.sentry.io/issues/6164805227) &
[JSON::ParserError](https://chatwoot-p3.sentry.io/issues/5903200786))
4. SMS: Generic handlers for Bandwidth SMS
#### Checklist
- [x] Bandwidth SMS
- [x] Whatsapp Cloud + 360 Dialog
- [x] Twilio SMS
- [x] Line
- [x] Telegram
- [x] Instagram
- [x] Facebook
- [x] GMail
- [x] 365 Mail

Currently, we do not support reactions, ephemeral messages, or the request_welcome event for the WhatsApp channel. However, if this is the first event we receive in Chatwoot (i.e., there is no previous conversation or contact in Chatwoot), it will create a contact and a conversation without any messages. This confuses our customer, as it may appear that Chatwoot has missed some messages. There are multiple cases where this might be the first event we receive in Chatwoot. One quick example is when the user has sent an outbound campaign from another tool and their customers reacted to the message.
Another event like this is request_welcome event. WhatsApp has a concept for welcome messages. You can send an outbound message even though the user has not send a message. You can receive notifications through a webhook whenever a WhatsApp user initiates a chat with you for the first time. (Read the Welcome message section: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/phone-numbers/conversational-components/ ). Although this can help the business send a pro-active message to the user, we don't have it scoped in our feature set. For now, I'm ignoring this event.

- update the templates updated at, even if the API request fails ( to prevent jobs from stacking up in case of API failures upstream )
- sequence the job in batches of 25 requests per minutes schedule ( in case API response time is high, also not to send too many requests in a single batch )
- move the sync job re-rerun to 3 hours ( since we are updating the updated at even in case of failures )(prev 15 minutes )
