Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Whinta

Ask your AI to reply to a WhatsApp chat, send an approved template or check who wrote in today, and it does it through Whinta. It can read conversations and their messages, send text, media and template messages, create and update contacts and contact groups, create message templates and set up broadcast campaigns to your contacts.

“Reply to Jonas: your order ships tomorrow.”
It finds his number and sends the text message on WhatsApp. It is sent immediately.
“Send the order_confirmation template to +4520123456 with order number 5531.”
It sends the approved template with the order number filled in as a body parameter.

“Send our price list PDF to Maria on WhatsApp.”
It sends the document from a public link as a media message, with a caption if you want one.
“Add Peter Holm, +4540404040, to contacts.”
It searches contacts first to avoid a duplicate, then creates the contact with phone and first name.

Questions

What can the AI do in Whinta?

The AI can list and read conversations and messages, mark conversations as read, send WhatsApp text, media and template messages, search, create, update and delete contacts, list and create contact groups, find and create templates, find, read and create broadcast campaigns, and list canned replies.

Does the AI see my Whinta credentials?

No. Your Whinta access token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start by reading conversations only. Messages are sent immediately and a campaign can reach many people at once, so sending and creating campaigns can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Whinta account.

Why can the AI not send my new template yet?

WhatsApp templates must be approved before they can be sent. The AI can create a template with name, category, language and body, and check its status with a template search. Once it is approved, the AI can send it to one person or use it in a campaign.
