WhatsApp Auto Responder
When to Use
- User says auto reply WhatsApp or task matches this capability
- User says enable WhatsApp assistant or task matches this capability
- User says reply on WhatsApp or task matches this capability
Workflow
- Keep the workflow in draft-only mode unless the user has explicitly enabled auto-mode for the named contact, message category, and time period.
- Rate an incoming message via whatsapp-message-rater. If spam > 7, do not reply; if urgency > 8, notify the user immediately.
- Draft a reply and run privacy-redactor on the draft.
- Before activating, changing, or renewing auto-mode, present the contact scope, exclusions, rate limit, and expiration for explicit user approval.
- Require hitl-approver before every send outside the approved auto-mode scope, for medium-or-higher risk content, and for financial, legal, sensitive, or ambiguous messages.
- Send only within the active approved scope and log the outcome; respect a maximum of 10 auto-replies per hour per contact.
