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.

Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6070/argumenterror-ephemeral-is-not-a-valid-file-type-argumenterror
**Problem**
The instagram webhooks containing ephemeral (disappearing) message were
causing ArgumentError exceptions because this attachment type is not
supported and was not in the enum validation.
**Solution**
- Added ephemeral to the unsupported_file_type? filter
- Ephemeral attachments are now silently filtered out before processing,
following the same pattern as existing unsupported types (template,
unsupported_type)
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.

- Previously we were ignoring the reels shared over Instagram messages.
This PR will render the reels with in Chatwoot.
followup : we need to render reels in a better interface so that it is
clearly denoted to the user that its an Instagram reel
When a user mentions the connected Instagram page in a story, the story's content is downloaded in Chatwoot, then if the user deletes the story, the content persists in the platform.
