Hello Everybody! I’m more of a wix front end developer and not too familiar with how to use a webhook to call an external api whatsapp has just opened its api to customize templates and use them in our projects, we just have to have a developer account on facebook create a new app and ready we can use its api with a web hook, the following video at minute 4:40 shows how to use a webhook for an app external to facebook but how can it be integrated into wix? [https://youtu.be/UvE5G2oTjdM](https://youtu.be/UvE5G2oTjdM) I also found an npm that can be used to call the whatsapp api but I’m not sure how to integrate it [https://www.npmjs.com/package/whatsapp-business](https://www.npmjs.com/package/whatsapp-business) any advice would be a great help :clap: ---

Try asking this question on the Discord server. I know that a couple of developers there did this already using velo and providers like Twilio and MessageBird. ---

Hi @blinkco16, Great question! Integrating the WhatsApp Business API into a Wix project can be a bit tricky since Wix has some limitations when working with server-side code and webhooks directly. Here’s how you can approach it: 1. **Using Wix Velo (Wix Code):** Wix Velo allows you to work with APIs and webhooks. You can use the `fetch` function in the backend to call the WhatsApp Business API. - Set up your Facebook Developer account and WhatsApp Business API as explained in the video. - Use Wix Velo to create backend functions for sending and receiving messages via the API. - For handling webhooks, you’ll need to create an HTTP function in Wix Velo to process incoming requests. Here’s Wix’s guide on handling webhooks. 1. **Using NPM Package:** Wix doesn’t directly support npm packages, but you can use external server environments like AWS Lambda, Firebase Functions, or a Node.js server to utilize the `whatsapp-business` npm package. After setting up the server, you can connect it to your Wix site via APIs or HTTP requests. If you need a simple approach, I’d recommend starting with Wix Velo’s built[-](https://modfcmobile.com/)in `fetch` function to integrate the API without relying on external servers. For webhooks, ensure you have a clear endpoint that Wix can listen to.
