Enterprise AI Integration Playbook: WhatsApp, Instagram, Webchat, and API Channels
A practical channel integration playbook for connecting AI employees across messaging systems with predictable routing and governance.
Enterprise AI Integration Playbook
Integrations are where automation becomes real.
Without a clean channel architecture, even strong AI prompts fail in production.
This playbook gives a staged approach to connect and operate:
- Webchat
- WhatsApp Cloud API
- API channel extensions
If you need the role design first, read AI Workforce Guide for SMBs.
Stage 1: Webchat Baseline
Start with website widget integration before social channels.
Why
- Fastest validation cycle
- Full control over request flow
- Lower platform policy friction
Checklist
- Install widget script with company ID
- Validate message storage in conversations table
- Confirm role routing by test intents
Stage 2: WhatsApp Cloud API
WhatsApp is high-value for support and lead follow-up.
Required Inputs
- Cloud API token
- Phone number ID
- Verified webhook configuration
Operational Rules
- Use Support AI for issue intents
- Use Sales AI for pricing/demo intents
- Escalate payment disputes to human queue
See WhatsApp and Instagram Automation Stack for routing examples.
Stage 3: Instagram and Facebook
Social channels bring lead generation and pre-sales traffic.
Required Inputs
- OAuth access token
- Business account/page mapping
- Event subscription validation
Common Failure Modes
- Missing permissions in app review
- Token expiry without refresh strategy
- Page/account mismatch in routing config
Stage 4: Unified Routing Layer
Do not let each channel define its own prompt logic.
Route all channels through one backend decision layer.
Routing Inputs
- Platform
- Intent
- Customer stage
- Role availability
- Escalation rules
Routing Outputs
- Assigned AI employee
- Prompt context package
- Allowed action set
- Escalation path
Stage 5: Verification Matrix
Before marking channel "live," run a test matrix:
- Sales intent recognized correctly
- Support issue resolved or escalated
- HR query routed to HR AI only
- Invalid token test rejected
- Duplicate webhook events handled safely
Stage 6: Observability and Reporting
Track each channel independently:
- First response time
- Resolution ratio
- Escalation ratio
- Conversion contribution
Export reports from Reports Module to keep channel owners accountable.
Integration Governance Rules
H2: Security Rules
- Encrypt integration tokens
- Verify webhook signatures
- Restrict write routes by origin and role
H2: Data Rules
- Store channel metadata per company
- Avoid cross-channel identity collisions
- Preserve customer identifiers
H2: Reliability Rules
- Retry transient failures
- Deduplicate webhook events
- Log integration errors with context
Deployment Timeline
Week 1
- Webchat live
- Role routing validated
Week 2
- WhatsApp live
- Escalation rules tuned
Week 3
- Instagram/Facebook live
- Channel performance dashboards active
Final Recommendation
Integration success is not "connect API and hope."
It is staged rollout + deterministic routing + strong governance.
