How to Use

All examples use the Application API with user access token.

1. Create a Contact

Create a new contact in your account:

Write to /tmp/chatwoot_request.json:

{
  "inbox_id": 1,
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com",
  "phone_number": "+1234567890",
  "identifier": "customer_123",
  "additional_attributes": {
    "company": "Acme Inc",
    "plan": "premium"
  }
}

Then run:

curl -s -X POST "https://app.chatwoot.com/api/v1/accounts/$CHATWOOT_ACCOUNT_ID/contacts" -H "api_access_token: $CHATWOOT_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @/tmp/chatwoot_request.json

2. Search Contacts

Search contacts by email, phone, or name:

curl -s -X GET "https://app.chatwoot.com/api/v1/accounts/$CHATWOOT_ACCOUNT_ID/contacts/search?q=john@example.com" -H "api_access_token: $CHATWOOT_TOKEN" | jq '.payload[] | {id, name, email}'

Guidelines

1. Get API token from Profile Settings: Log into Chatwoot → Profile → Access Token
2. Account ID is in URL: Look at /app/accounts/{id}/... in your browser
3. Inbox ID is required: Get inbox IDs first with the list inboxes endpoint
4. Use source_id for conversations: Required to create conversations via API
5. Private messages: Set private: true for internal notes
6. Cloud only: This skill uses the Chatwoot Cloud API at https://app.chatwoot.com
7. Webhooks recommended: Use webhooks for real-time updates instead of polling
