Build With AI

If you're building with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, or another AI agent, start here. This page gives your agent the fastest path into HookMyApp:

  • the CLI for live workspace, sandbox, and webhook operations
  • Agent Skills for HookMyApp-specific workflows inside your IDE
  • the Webhook Starter Kit as a clone-and-go runtime

Prerequisite

A human still needs to sign up for a HookMyApp account first. After that, your agent can take over: it logs the CLI in, starts a sandbox session, clones the starter kit, wires .env values, and verifies the round-trip.

HookMyApp CLI

For live operations, start with the CLI.

npm install -g @gethookmyapp/cli
hookmyapp login

Use the CLI when the agent needs to inspect workspace state, start or stop a sandbox session, pull env values, set production webhook URLs, or send a test message from a terminal session. Every command supports --json for structured parsing. See the full CLI reference for the command surface.

Agent Skills

If the agent works inside a codebase, install HookMyApp agent skills:

npx skills add hookmyapp/agent-skills

The skill knows how to authenticate the CLI, connect a WABA via embedded signup, pull env values, set production webhook URLs, and send a test message. Safety rules keep it from pasting tokens into chat or changing production webhooks without your okay. See Agent Skills for the full capability and safety list.

Webhook Starter Kit

A working Node/Express receiver with HMAC signature verification, a send helper, and an auto-reply handler. Your agent clones it, points the CLI at it, and you have a webhook receiver running in two minutes.

git clone https://github.com/hookmyapp/webhook-starter-kit.git

See the Starter Kit guide for how it wires together and how the receiver shape stays identical from sandbox to production.

One-Prompt Setup

If you have agent skills installed, paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and walk away:

Integrate WhatsApp into my app using HookMyApp. Install @gethookmyapp/cli, run hookmyapp login, start a sandbox session pinned to my phone, pull env values into a .env file, and clone github.com/hookmyapp/webhook-starter-kit. Start it and forward webhooks to my receiver. Open the sandbox dashboard at the end so I can verify delivery.
