What media formats are supported for sending files?

The skill supports common formats including JPEG/PNG for images, MP4/3GPP for video, and various document types like PDF up to 100MB.

Can I send messages to any number at any time?

Messages initiated by the business outside of a 24-hour window from the last customer message must use pre-approved Meta templates.

Do I need an API key for the Rube MCP setup?

No API keys are required for the Rube MCP server itself. You simply add the endpoint to your configuration and complete the WhatsApp OAuth process.

How do I ensure my messages are delivered successfully?

Always ensure phone numbers are in the international E.164 format (e.g., +14155551234) and that your templates have been approved by Meta before use.

Does this work with regular WhatsApp accounts?

No, this skill specifically requires a WhatsApp Business API account. It is not compatible with standard personal WhatsApp accounts.
