Changelog

What has changed in WhatsApp Business Agent Studio, most recent first. Each feature name links to its help article.

21 August 2026

New Conversation turns page under Insights in the sidebar. Enter a consumer's phone number and see the ordered steps the agent took on their most recent conversation, LLM calls and tool calls side by side, with latency and status on each step.
Agent budget now supports a 30-day rolling window in addition to 1, 7, and 14 days.
Fixed a small visual glitch on the Budget page where the delete button sat below the input row.

New UI skills section under Configure for rich message components the agent can send, carousels, call-to-action buttons, WhatsApp Flows, images, interactive lists, and locations, each with its own on-and-off toggle.
New Agent budget page to cap token spend over a rolling time window at the Business Manager level. When more than one cap is set, whichever is reached first takes effect.

Added a Delete agent action so you can remove a WhatsApp agent from a phone and start clean. Removing the last agent on a WhatsApp Business Account disconnects the integration for that WABA.
Polished the Delete confirmation dialog so it closes cleanly and no longer overflows on small screens.

New Import connector from OpenAPI spec. Paste or upload a YAML or JSON file and the studio creates the connector plus one tool per operation in a single step. Authentication type is inferred from the spec.
Added a skill collision detector that warns you when two skills have overlapping triggers before you save.
A sample OpenAPI spec is now bundled so you can try the import flow without leaving the app.
Seven new help articles across the library.

New Try the demo mode. Click Try the demo on the landing page to explore every screen with seeded data. No Meta access token required.
Filled in the help center with recipes (payment reminder, refund escalations, wire your CRM, order tracking, appointment booking), connector auth walk-throughs (API key, OAuth, mTLS), migration guides (from a custom wrapper, from an API-configured agent), deployment guides for Vercel, Fly, Railway, and Docker Compose, plus a compliance overview.
The marketing site now points at the current app deployment out of the box.

Beta banner across the landing page, the home page, and the help center home so it is clear that WhatsApp Business Agent is in Beta and not yet generally available.
Eligibility gate on the dashboard. When a WhatsApp Business Account has not accepted the Meta Business AI terms yet, the dashboard now shows a friendly waiting screen with a one-click enable link instead of a confusing error.
Direct WABA ID entry on the home page for teams that would rather enter a WhatsApp Business Account ID than a full Business Manager ID.
The header phone picker now lists other phone numbers on the same WABA so you can jump across without going back to Home.
Refreshed product screenshots across help articles so the visuals match the current UI.

Public marketing landing page and help center published to GitHub Pages.
Read-only mode toggle in the account menu to block writes for shared browsers and demos.
Onboarding checklist on the entity overview showing progress through the six setup steps.
Dev drawer and Copy as cURL for inspecting the last fifty client API calls.
New API playground page for free-form request building against Meta, scoped to the current phone.
Connector health card on each connector page with 24-hour stats and the top failure patterns.
New AI provider settings. Choose between the local Claude Agent SDK or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and use it to draft skills or generate FAQs and connectors from a document.
Live webhook receiver with a search bar and a signed-and-unverified filter.
Recent activity feed on the entity overview.
