WhatsApp Local Router
Overview
Handle two WhatsApp input types and mirror backend responses back to the user:
- Text input →
/process - QR image input →
/decode-qr
Always send the endpoint response body back to the user with no extra formatting unless the user asks for explanation.
Workflow
- Confirm the message comes from WhatsApp context.
- Choose route:
- If inbound includes an image attachment path (QR image expected), call decode route.
- Otherwise treat user text as arbitrary string and call process route.
- Execute request with
scripts/route_whatsapp.sh. - Return stdout from the script directly to the user.
- If the endpoint returns an error or invalid JSON, return a short error summary and include raw response body.
Commands
Run from workspace root:
# Text -> /process
bash skills/whatsapp-local-router/scripts/route_whatsapp.sh process "<any text>"
# Image -> /decode-qr
bash skills/whatsapp-local-router/scripts/route_whatsapp.sh decode "/path/to/image.png"
Routing Rules
- Preserve text exactly; do not sanitize, trim, or reinterpret symbols.
- Use multipart field name
imagefor QR decode uploads. - Timeout requests after 20 seconds.
- If both text and image are present, prioritize image decode unless user explicitly asks to process text.
- Keep response concise: send backend JSON as-is.
