Restrict the WhatsApp reauthorization flag to channels whose
provider_config source is 'embedded_signup'. Previously the view exposed
resource.channel.reauthorization_required? for all WhatsApp channels;
now it only returns true when (provider_config || {}).to_h['source'] ==
'embedded_signup' && resource.channel.reauthorization_required?. This
prevents showing reauthorization prompts for manual/API-key flows
(non-OAuth) and safely handles nil provider_config.

Instagram webhooks use a Redis mutex to protect the first-message path
for a contact/account pair. When multiple webhook events for the same
Instagram contact arrive at nearly the same time, they can all enter the
“find or create” flow together.
There are two pieces involved:
`ContactInbox` maps the external Instagram scoped user id to a Chatwoot
contact inside an inbox. That side already has a unique `(inbox_id,
source_id)` index and retry handling, so duplicate contact-inbox
creation is mostly protected at the database layer.
`Conversation` creation is more fragile. The message builder looks for
an existing active conversation for the contact/inbox and creates one
when none is found. If two first-message jobs run concurrently, both can
see “no active conversation yet” and both can create a conversation. The
mutex exists to bump those jobs apart long enough for the first one to
create the conversation, so the next one appends to it instead of
creating a duplicate.
In production, the old behavior could turn that race dampener into a
drop path. Once `Webhooks::InstagramEventsJob` exhausted its lock
retries, ActiveJob stopped retrying with
`MutexApplicationJob::LockAcquisitionError`. Since ActiveJob retries are
not FIFO, later jobs could still win the lock while older jobs kept
getting deferred until exhaustion.
## Mutex Application Job Changes
This adds `retry_on_lock_conflict` as a small wrapper around the
existing `retry_on LockAcquisitionError` pattern.
The new API keeps the default behavior intact, but lets jobs explicitly
define what should happen after lock retry exhaustion:
```ruby
retry_on_lock_conflict wait: 1.second,
attempts: 3,
on_exhaustion: :process_without_lock
```
The fallback receives the original job arguments, so job classes do not
need to reach into ActiveJob internals like `arguments.first`.
## Instagram Fallback
Instagram now processes the webhook payload even after the mutex retry
window is exhausted.
This matches what the mutex was meant to do in the first place: bump
concurrent events apart long enough to avoid duplicate conversation
creation, not permanently block or drop webhook events. If a job cannot
acquire the lock after a few retries, it continues through the normal
Instagram processing path without the mutex.
## Retry And Lock Tuning
The Instagram lock retry window now uses deterministic backoff:
```ruby
retry_on_lock_conflict wait: ->(executions) { executions.seconds },
attempts: 3,
on_exhaustion: :process_without_lock
```
The lock TTL is also set explicitly:
```ruby
with_lock(key, 3.seconds)
```
This matters because Rails treats `attempts` as total executions, not
retries after the first execution. With a fixed `wait: 1.second` and
`attempts: 3`, the exhaustion handler can run roughly two seconds after
the first lock conflict. That is earlier than a 3-second lock TTL, so
the fallback could process without the lock while the original mutex is
still valid. That would reopen the duplicate-conversation race the lock
is meant to dampen.
Using a proc wait makes the timing predictable and avoids Rails jitter
for this retry path. The first conflict waits about 1 second, the second
waits about 2 seconds, and the final attempt happens around the 3-second
mark. That lines the retry window up with the Redis lock TTL before
falling back to `process_without_lock`.
The protected race window is intentionally small. `ContactInbox`
creation already has database uniqueness protection, while conversation
creation is the softer `find active conversation || create` path. We
only need to give the first job enough time to create the conversation
state that later jobs should reuse.
The mutex still does not preserve message order, and ActiveJob retries
are not FIFO. A longer retry window would mostly add latency for hot
Instagram contacts without making ordering more correct. After the lock
TTL has elapsed, processing without the lock is the better tradeoff than
dead-lettering customer messages.
Adds storage support for WhatsApp business-scoped user identifiers
received from Meta Cloud API and Twilio WhatsApp webhooks. The change
keeps existing phone-based behavior intact, stores BSUID and parent
BSUID values as additional `contact_inboxes.source_id` rows for the same
contact, and allows BSUID-only inbound messages to create contacts,
conversations, and messages without requiring a phone number.
Related: https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/13837
**What changed**
- Extended WhatsApp source ID validation to accept regular BSUID and
parent BSUID formats.
- For Meta Cloud API, stores phone, `user_id`, and `parent_user_id`
identifiers as contact inbox source IDs when they are present.
- For Twilio WhatsApp, stores phone, `ExternalUserId`, and
`ParentExternalUserId` identifiers as contact inbox source IDs while
preserving the existing `whatsapp:` Twilio source ID shape.
- Supports BSUID-only inbound messages by creating a contact, contact
inbox, conversation, and message even when the phone number is missing.
- Links phone-first and later BSUID-only messages to the same contact
when the first payload contains both phone and BSUID.
- Stores WhatsApp usernames in contact `additional_attributes`, matching
existing social channel patterns.
- Keeps existing phone-based outbound and new-conversation behavior
unchanged for this milestone.
**How to test**
1. Send a Meta Cloud webhook payload with both `wa_id` and `user_id`.
2. Verify Chatwoot creates or finds the phone `contact_inbox` and also
creates a BSUID `contact_inbox` for the same contact.
3. Send a later Meta Cloud payload for the same user with only `user_id`
/ `from_user_id`.
4. Verify Chatwoot finds the BSUID `contact_inbox` and creates the
inbound message without requiring a phone number.
5. Send a Twilio WhatsApp webhook with `From: whatsapp:+E164`,
`ExternalUserId`, and optionally `ParentExternalUserId`.
6. Verify Chatwoot stores the Twilio phone and BSUID identifiers as
`whatsapp:`-prefixed source IDs for the same contact.
7. Send a Twilio WhatsApp webhook where `From` is `whatsapp:<BSUID>` and
there is no phone number.
8. Verify Chatwoot creates the contact, contact inbox, conversation, and
message without a phone number.

Adds the server-side flow that turns Meta WhatsApp Cloud Calling
webhooks into Chatwoot Calls, conversations, voice_call message bubbles,
and ActionCable broadcasts. Stacked on top of #14312 (PR-2 — provider
methods); intentionally does not include the HTTP controller, routes, or
frontend (those land in PR-4 and PR-9).
## Closes
- Part of the WhatsApp Cloud Calling rollout. Linear: TBD
## What changed
**Webhook routing**
- `app/jobs/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` — append
`prepend_mod_with('Webhooks::WhatsappEventsJob')` so EE can extend it
without forking.
- `enterprise/app/jobs/enterprise/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` (new)
— overlay that prepends `handle_message_events` to intercept `field:
'calls'` payloads (route to `Whatsapp::IncomingCallService`) and
`interactive.call_permission_reply` messages (route to
`Whatsapp::CallPermissionReplyService`); falls through with `super` for
regular messages.
**Services**
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service.rb` (new) —
gated on `provider_config['calling_enabled']`; processes `connect`
(creates inbound call via `Voice::InboundCallBuilder` or transitions an
existing outbound call to `in_progress`) and `terminate` events; updates
conversation `additional_attributes` and broadcasts
`voice_call.incoming`/`voice_call.outbound_connected`/`voice_call.ended`.
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service.rb`
(new) — handles WhatsApp interactive `call_permission_reply` replies;
clears the conversation's `call_permission_requested_at` flag and
broadcasts `voice_call.permission_granted` so the agent UI can re-enable
the call button.
**Builder/model adjustments**
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/inbound_call_builder.rb` —
provider-agnostic; accepts `provider:` and `extra_meta:` kwargs, drops
`account:` (now derived from `inbox.account` to keep the param count
under rubocop's ceiling without disabling cops), uses digits-only
`source_id` for WhatsApp ContactInbox (validation requires
`^\d{1,15}\z`), skips Twilio-only `conference_sid` for non-Twilio
providers.
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/call_message_builder.rb` — adds
`create!`/`update_status!` API and `CALL_TO_VOICE_STATUS` map; uses
direct `Message.create!` (bypasses `Messages::MessageBuilder`'s
incoming-on-non-Api-inbox guard, which would otherwise reject the system
bubble); content is `'WhatsApp Call'` for WhatsApp and `'Voice Call'`
for Twilio. Backwards-compatible `perform!` retained for the existing
Twilio call sites.
- `enterprise/app/models/call.rb` — adds `default_ice_servers` (driven
by `VOICE_CALL_STUN_URLS` env), `direction_label` alias for the
`inbound`/`outbound` strings the FE expects, and
`ringing?`/`in_progress?`/`terminal?` predicates used throughout the
pipeline.
**Outgoing-channel guard**
- `app/services/base/send_on_channel_service.rb` — extends
`invalid_message?` to skip messages with `content_type == 'voice_call'`.
Without this, agent-initiated outbound calls (PR-4) would deliver
\"WhatsApp Call\" as a text message to the contact every time.
**Twilio call-site update**
- `enterprise/app/controllers/twilio/voice_controller.rb` — drops the
now-redundant `account: current_account` kwarg from the
`Voice::InboundCallBuilder.perform!` call.
**Tests**
- New: `spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service_spec.rb`
(5 examples — calling-disabled, inbound connect, outbound connect,
terminate completed, terminate no-answer, unknown event).
- New:
`spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service_spec.rb`
(3 examples — accept, reject, calling-disabled).
- Updated: `spec/enterprise/services/voice/inbound_call_builder_spec.rb`
and `spec/enterprise/controllers/twilio/voice_controller_spec.rb` to
drop the `account:` kwarg from call expectations.
## How to test
In `rails console` against an account with a WhatsApp inbox where
`provider_config['calling_enabled']` is true:
```ruby
inbox = Inbox.find(<id>)
params = { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', from: '15550001111', event: 'connect',
session: { sdp: 'v=0...', sdp_type: 'offer' } }] }
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox, params: params).perform
# => Conversation + Call (status: 'ringing', provider: 'whatsapp') + voice_call message bubble
# => ActionCable broadcasts `voice_call.incoming` to the assignee or account-wide
# Then terminate it:
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox,
params: { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', event: 'terminate', duration: 0, terminate_reason: 'no_answer' }] }
).perform
# => Call status flips to 'no_answer', message bubble updates, `voice_call.ended` broadcast fires
```
End-to-end browser flow (Meta → cable → UI) requires the controller from
PR-4 and the frontend from PR-9.

When a WhatsApp contact starts a new conversation by sending multiple
images at once (an album), each image arrives as a separate webhook.
Because no conversation exists yet, the concurrent workers each pass the
"does a conversation exist?" check and each create their own
conversation — producing one conversation per image instead of one
grouped conversation.
This fix serializes webhook processing per `(inbox, contact)` using a
Redis lock at the job level, so only one webhook at a time can create
the initial conversation for a given contact. Concurrent workers retry
with backoff and append to the same conversation once the lock is
released.
## Closes
- Closes#13261
## How to test
1. On a WhatsApp inbox, ensure there is no active (open) conversation
with a specific test contact — resolve or delete any existing one.
2. From a phone, select 6+ images in the WhatsApp gallery and send them
as a single album to the Chatwoot-connected number.
3. Open the Chatwoot dashboard and confirm exactly **one** new
conversation is created, with all images grouped under it.
4. Repeat the test with a mix of attachment types (XMLs, PDFs, images)
sent in rapid succession — still one conversation.
## What changed
- New Redis key `WHATSAPP_MESSAGE_CREATE_LOCK::<inbox_id>::<sender_id>`
in `lib/redis/redis_keys.rb`.
- `Webhooks::WhatsappEventsJob` now inherits from `MutexApplicationJob`
and wraps event processing in `with_lock(key)`, matching the pattern
already used by `FacebookEventsJob`, `InstagramEventsJob`, and
`TiktokEventsJob`.
- Uses `retry_on LockAcquisitionError, wait: 1.second, attempts: 8` so
concurrent webhooks retry until the lock is free instead of poll-waiting
inside the service.
- Sender ID is derived from the webhook payload (contact's `from`, or
`to` for SMB echo events); status-only webhooks bypass the lock.
- Issue 1 from the report (same `source_id` redelivery) was already
handled previously by `Whatsapp::MessageDedupLock` (atomic `SET NX EX`);
no changes needed there.

When businesses use WhatsApp Business App (co-existence mode) or
Instagram App or TikTok alongside Chatwoot, messages sent from the
native apps were not synced properly back to Chatwoot. This left agents
with an incomplete conversation history and no visibility into responses
sent outside the dashboard. Additionally, if these echo messages did
arrive, they appeared as "Sent by: Bot" in the UI since they had no
sender, making it confusing for agents.
This PR subscribes to WhatsApp `smb_message_echoes` webhook events and
routes them through the existing service with an `outgoing_echo` flag,
mirroring how Instagram already handles echoes. On the Instagram side,
echo messages now also carry the `external_echo` content attribute and
`delivered` status.
On the frontend, messages with `externalEcho` are distinguished from bot
messages showing a "Native app" avatar and an advisory note encouraging
agents to reply from Chatwoot to maintain the service window.

This pull request introduces TikTok channel integration, enabling users
to connect and manage TikTok business accounts similarly to other
supported social channels. The changes span backend API endpoints,
authentication helpers, webhook handling, configuration, and frontend
components to support TikTok as a first-class channel.
**Key Notes**
* This integration is only compatible with TikTok Business Accounts
* Special permissions are required to access the TikTok [Business
Messaging
API](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832183871604753).
* The Business Messaging API is region-restricted and is currently
unavailable to users in the EU.
* Only TEXT, IMAGE, and POST_SHARE messages are currently supported due
to limitations in the TikTok Business Messaging API
* A message will be successfully sent only if it contains text alone or
one image attachment. Messages with multiple attachments or those
combining text and attachments will fail and receive a descriptive error
status.
* Messages sent directly from the TikTok App will be synced into the
system
* Initiating a new conversation from the system is not permitted due to
limitations from the TikTok Business Messaging API.
**Backend: TikTok Channel Integration**
* Added `Api::V1::Accounts::Tiktok::AuthorizationsController` to handle
TikTok OAuth authorization initiation, returning the TikTok
authorization URL.
* Implemented `Tiktok::CallbacksController` to handle TikTok OAuth
callback, process authorization results, create or update channel/inbox,
and handle errors or denied scopes.
* Added `Webhooks::TiktokController` to receive and verify TikTok
webhook events, including signature verification and event dispatching.
* Created `Tiktok::IntegrationHelper` module for JWT-based token
generation and verification for secure TikTok OAuth state management.
**Configuration and Feature Flags**
* Added TikTok app credentials (`TIKTOK_APP_ID`, `TIKTOK_APP_SECRET`) to
allowed configs and app config, and registered TikTok as a feature in
the super admin features YAML.

# TikTok App Setup & Configuration
1. Grant access to the Business Messaging API
([Documentation](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832184145137922))
2. Set the app authorization redirect URL to
`https://FRONTEND_URL/tiktok/callback`
3. Update the installation config with TikTok App ID and Secret
4. Create a Business Messaging Webhook configuration and set the
callback url to `https://FRONTEND_URL/webhooks/tiktok`
([Documentation](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832190670631937))
. You can do this by calling
`Tiktok::AuthClient.update_webhook_callback` from rails console once you
finish Tiktok channel configuration in super admin ( will be automated
in future )
5. Enable TikTok channel feature in an account

Previously, the lock key for Instagram used sender_id, which for echo
messages (outgoing) would be the account's own ID. This caused all
outgoing messages to compete for the same lock, creating a bottleneck
during bulk messaging.
The fix introduces contact_instagram_id method that correctly identifies
the contact's ID regardless of message direction:
- For echo messages (outgoing): uses recipient.id (the contact)
- For incoming messages: uses sender.id (the contact)
This ensures each conversation has a unique lock, allowing parallel
processing of webhooks while maintaining race condition protection
within individual conversations.
Fixes lock acquisition errors in Sidekiq when processing bulk Instagram
messages.

## Type of change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
Added support for Telegram Business bots. Telegram webhooks from such bots include the business_message field, which we transform into a standard message for Chatwoot. This PR also modifies how we handle replies, attachments, and image uploads when working with Telegram Business bots.

This PR introduces basic minimum version of **Instagram Business
Login**, making Instagram inbox setup more straightforward by removing
the Facebook Page dependency. This update enhances user experience and
aligns with Meta’s recommended best practices.
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-3728/instagram-login-how-to-implement-the-changes
## Why Introduce Instagram as a Separate Inbox?
Currently, our Instagram integration requires linking an Instagram
account to a Facebook Page, making setup complex. To simplify this
process, Instagram now offers **Instagram Business Login**, which allows
users to authenticate directly with their Instagram credentials.
The **Instagram API with Instagram Login** enables businesses and
creators to send and receive messages without needing a Facebook Page
connection. While an Instagram Business or Creator account is still
required, this approach provides a more straightforward integration
process.
| **Existing Approach (Facebook Login for Business)** | **New Approach
(Instagram Business Login)** |
| --- | --- |
| Requires linking Instagram to a Facebook Page | No Facebook Page
required |
| Users log in via Facebook credentials | Users log in via Instagram
credentials |
| Configuration is more complex | Simpler setup |
Meta recommends using **Instagram Business Login** as the preferred
authentication method due to its easier configuration and improved
developer experience.
---
## Implementation Plan
The core messaging functionality is already in place, but the transition
to **Instagram Business Login** requires adjustments.
### Changes & Considerations
- **API Adjustments**: The Instagram API uses `graph.instagram`, whereas
Koala (our existing library) interacts with `graph.facebook`. We may
need to modify API calls accordingly.
- **Three Main Modules**:
1. **Instagram Business Login** – Handle authentication flow.
2. **Permissions & Features** – Ensure necessary API scopes are granted.
3. **Webhooks** – Enable real-time message retrieval.
---
## Instagram Login Flow
1. User clicks **"Create Inbox"** for Instagram.
2. App redirects to the [Instagram Authorization
URL](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/instagram-api-with-instagram-login/business-login#embed-the-business-login-url).
3. After authentication, Instagram returns an authorization code.
5. The app exchanges the code for a **long-lived token** (valid for 60
days).
6. Tokens are refreshed periodically to maintain access.
7. Once completed, the app creates an inbox and redirects to the
Chatwoot dashboard.
---
## How to Test the Instagram Inbox
1. Create a new app on [Meta's Developer
Portal](https://developers.facebook.com/apps/).
2. Select **Business** as the app type and configure it.
3. Add the Instagram product and connect a business account.
4. Copy Instagram app ID and Instagram app secret
5. Add the Instagram app ID and Instagram app secret to your app config
via `{Chatwoot installation
url}/super_admin/app_config?config=instagram`
6. Configure Webhooks:
- Callback URL: `{your_chatwoot_url}/webhooks/instagram`
- Verify Token: `INSTAGRAM_VERIFY_TOKEN`
- Subscribe to `messages`, `messaging_seen`, and `message_reactions`
events.
7. Set up **Instagram Business Login**:
- Redirect URL: `{your_chatwoot_url}/instagram/callback`
8. Test inbox creation via the Chatwoot dashboard.
## Troubleshooting & Common Errors
### Insufficient Developer Role Error
- Ensure the Instagram user is added as a developer:
- **Meta Dashboard → App Roles → Roles → Add People → Enter Instagram
ID**
### API Access Deactivated
- Ensure the **Privacy Policy URL** is valid and correctly set.
### Invalid request: Request parameters are invalid: Invalid
redirect_uri
- Please configure the Frontend URL. The Frontend URL does not match the
authorization URL.

- Twilio events were being processed synchronously, leading to slow API
