Connect an AI Provider

Why connectors matter

AI features in Agent for WhatsApp depend on a working connector. Without one, you can still use some local or manual workflows, but AI analysis and generation will not work as expected.

Supported connector paths

Depending on your plan and setup, the product can work with:

• OpenAI
• OpenRouter
• Groq
• local models

Setup checklist

For any connector, verify:

• the API key is valid
• the selected model is available
• your account plan allows the connector you want to use
• requests are not blocked by proxy or network policy

How to test quickly

After saving a connector, validate it by using one real workflow:

• refresh AI inquiry qualification for a lead
• generate a message from a template
• trigger a structured lead extraction run

If the result fails, the connector setup is not complete.

Best practice

Do not test with abstract prompts first. Test the connector inside the actual product workflow you care about, because that is what determines whether setup is good enough for production use.
