# Observe WhatsApp
## When to use
Use this skill for operational diagnostics: message delivery investigation, webhook delivery debugging, error triage, and WhatsApp health checks.
## Setup
Env vars:
- `KAPSO_API_BASE_URL` (host only, no `/platform/v1`)
- `KAPSO_API_KEY`
## How to
### Investigate message delivery
1. List messages: `node scripts/messages.js --phone-number-id <id>`
2. Inspect message: `node scripts/message-details.js --message-id <id>`
3. Find conversation: `node scripts/lookup-conversation.js --phone-number <e164>`
### Triage errors
1. Message errors: `node scripts/errors.js`
2. API logs: `node scripts/api-logs.js`
3. Webhook deliveries: `node scripts/webhook-deliveries.js`
### Run health checks
1. Project overview: `node scripts/overview.js`
2. Phone number health: `node scripts/whatsapp-health.js --phone-number-id <id>`
## Scripts
