Hello, I’m trying to get Botpress connected with Direct Whatsapp.
I configured the required webhook, access token, etc.
It does get my messages from Whatsapp, but it does not reply. I stripped the bot to a minimum with out success.
Can’t get any debug information from the logs, so I don’t know where to look for clues.
Hi @joseanu ,
I will have to go through the basic steps in order to make sure that we didn’t forget anything. Did you publish your bot?
Hi!
I’ve published it.
Created an app in developers.facebook, got access token, phone id, etc.
botpress is recieving messages from Whatsapp, But it’s not sending anything.
Is it possible to send me a screen shot of your flow after removing/masking sensitive information?
Hi @joseanu
I suggest that one of our Solutions Engineers jumps on a quick Zoom call with you to look at your bot and help.
I’ll email you the calendar link to book a quick call.
Cheers 
Hello,
I’m experiencing a similar issue.
What was the solution to the problem?
Messages I send to the bot are received and processed properly. I don’t get any message back on the WhatsApp conversation, though, despite the logs showing the message was supposedly sent.
Thanks,
Francesco

Hi @francesco ,
To help me troubleshoot the issue, I have got some questions:
Yes is the answer to all those questions. I’m able to send messages by calling the graph API directly. Did you look at the logs?
Why would the logs say “Sending message” if the bot wasn’t published?
It would help if I could see in the logs the response from the WhatsApp API backend.
Or if you could provide that
I only see one place with logs.
Please refer to the screenshot. It is not in the channel section nor in the studio.
Yes, those are the logs I’ve sent you from day 1.
And I can send a message using curl and the same access token configured on Botpress just fine:
curl --request POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --url https://graph.facebook.com/v16.0/***********/messages?access_token=****************************************** --data '{"messaging_product":"whatsapp","to":"***********","type":"text","text":{"body":"test"}}' -v
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
