# WASender WhatsApp Integration Guide

## Overview

WASender provides WhatsApp messaging for field agents and customers. It's our immediate SMS alternative since most field agents have WhatsApp.

## Environment Variable

Add this to your Hugging Face Spaces secrets:

```bash
WASENDER_API_KEY=your_wasender_api_key_here
```

## Startup Health Check

On application startup, you'll see:

```
External Services Check:
  WASender (WhatsApp): Connected
    WhatsApp: connected
    Note: WhatsApp is connected and ready
```

### Possible Statuses

- **Connected** - WhatsApp is ready to send messages
- **Connecting** - WhatsApp is connecting (wait a moment)
- **Disconnected** - WhatsApp is disconnected (check WASender dashboard)
- **Need Scan** - QR code scan required (scan in WASender dashboard)
- **Logged Out** - WhatsApp session logged out (re-login required)
- **Expired** - WhatsApp session expired (re-authenticate)

## Usage Examples

### 1. Send Simple Message

```python
from app.integrations import send_whatsapp_message

# Send message to field agent
result = send_whatsapp_message(
    to="+254799456976",
    text="Your ticket #1234 has been assigned. Please check the app."
)

# Response:
# {
#     "success": true,
#     "data": {
#         "msgId": 11462202,
#         "jid": "+254799456976",
#         "status": "in_progress"
#     }
# }
```

### 2. Send OTP

```python
from app.integrations import send_whatsapp_otp

# Send OTP for verification
result = send_whatsapp_otp(
    to="+254799456976",
    otp_code="123456"
)

# Message sent:
# "Your SwiftOps verification code is: 123456
#  This code will expire in 10 minutes."
```

### 3. Send Message with Image

```python
from app.integrations import send_whatsapp_message

# Send message with image
result = send_whatsapp_message(
    to="+254799456976",
    text="Installation completed! See photo:",
    media_url="https://example.com/installation-photo.jpg"
)
```

### 4. Using the Client Directly

```python
from app.integrations import get_wasender_client

# Get client
client = get_wasender_client()

# Check status
status = client.get_status()
print(status)  # {"status": "connected"}

# Send message
result = client.send_message(
    to="+254799456976",
    text="Hello from SwiftOps!"
)

# Send OTP with custom template
result = client.send_otp(
    to="+254799456976",
    otp_code="123456",
    message_template="Your code: {otp}. Valid for 10 minutes."
)
```

## Use Cases

### 1. Ticket Assignment Notification

```python
# When ticket is assigned to field agent
send_whatsapp_message(
    to=agent.phone,
    text=f"New ticket assigned: {ticket.title}\n"
         f"Customer: {customer.name}\n"
         f"Location: {ticket.location}\n"
         f"Priority: {ticket.priority}\n\n"
         f"Open app to view details."
)
```

### 2. Customer Installation Confirmation

```python
# After successful installation
send_whatsapp_message(
    to=customer.phone,
    text=f"Dear {customer.name},\n\n"
         f"Your {service_type} installation is complete!\n"
         f"Service ID: {subscription.id}\n"
         f"Package: {subscription.package_name}\n\n"
         f"Thank you for choosing us!"
)
```

### 3. OTP Verification

```python
# For user registration/login
otp_code = generate_otp()  # Your OTP generation logic
send_whatsapp_otp(
    to=user.phone,
    otp_code=otp_code
)
```

### 4. Expense Approval Notification

```python
# When expense is approved
send_whatsapp_message(
    to=agent.phone,
    text=f"Expense approved!\n"
         f"Amount: KES {expense.amount}\n"
         f"Category: {expense.category}\n"
         f"Payment will be processed shortly."
)
```

## Phone Number Format

**Always use international format:**
- ✅ `+254799456976` (Kenya)
- ✅ `+254712345678` (Kenya)
- ❌ `0799456976` (Missing country code)
- ❌ `254799456976` (Missing + sign)

## Rate Limits

WASender has rate limits (check your plan):
- Free tier: ~256 messages per minute
- Check headers: `x-ratelimit-remaining`

## Error Handling

```python
from app.integrations import send_whatsapp_message
import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

try:
    result = send_whatsapp_message(
        to=user.phone,
        text="Your message"
    )
    
    if result.get("success"):
        logger.info(f"WhatsApp sent: {result['data']['msgId']}")
    else:
        logger.error(f"WhatsApp failed: {result}")
        
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f"WhatsApp error: {e}")
    # Fallback to SMS or email
```

## Testing

### Test in PowerShell

```powershell
$env:WASENDER_API_KEY = "your_key_here"

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Uri "https://www.wasenderapi.com/api/send-message" `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers @{
        "Authorization" = "Bearer $env:WASENDER_API_KEY"
        "Content-Type"  = "application/json"
    } `
    -Body '{"to": "+254799456976", "text": "Test message"}'
```

### Test in Python

```python
from app.integrations import send_whatsapp_message

# Send test message
result = send_whatsapp_message(
    to="+254799456976",
    text="Test message from SwiftOps"
)

print(result)
```

## Monitoring

Check WASender dashboard for:
- Message delivery status
- Failed messages
- WhatsApp connection status
- Usage statistics

## Best Practices

1. **Always validate phone numbers** before sending
2. **Use templates** for common messages (faster, cheaper)
3. **Handle errors gracefully** - fallback to SMS/email
4. **Don't spam** - respect user preferences
5. **Log all messages** - for audit trail
6. **Check rate limits** - avoid hitting limits

## Troubleshooting

### "WhatsApp: need_scan"
- Go to WASender dashboard
- Scan QR code with your WhatsApp
- Wait for "connected" status

### "Connection failed"
- Check API key is correct
- Check internet connectivity
- Check WASender service status

### "Message not delivered"
- Verify phone number format (+254...)
- Check recipient has WhatsApp
- Check WASender dashboard for details

## Next Steps

1. Set `WASENDER_API_KEY` in HF Spaces secrets
2. Deploy application
3. Check startup logs for "Connected" status
4. Test sending a message
5. Integrate into ticket assignment workflow
