`bird whatsapp agents skills create`

Usage

Code example

bird whatsapp agents skills create <number-id> [flags]

Description

Add a skill to an agent

Give the agent on this WhatsApp number a skill: when a situation applies, and what to do then. It reaches WhatsApp before this returns and is used from the next conversation turn.

Build the request from flags, a JSON WhatsAppAgentSkillCreate body via --body-file ("-" reads stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without sending it.

Examples

Code example

# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
bird whatsapp agents skills create --example

# the body it prints:

Code example

{
  "description": "A contact asks to cancel, change or return an order they have already placed.",
  "skill": "Ask for the order number. Tell the contact the cancellation window is 24 hours from ordering. If it has passed, offer a return instead and explain the 30-day return policy.",
  "title": "cancel-order"
}
