3. Production Node.js Webhook Pattern for Cart Recovery

typescript
// lib/whatsapp-recovery.ts
import httpx from 'axios';

export async function sendCartRecoveryMessage({
  customerPhone,
  customerName,
  cartSummary,
  checkoutUrl,
}: {
  customerPhone: string;
  customerName: string;
  cartSummary: string;
  checkoutUrl: string;
}) {
  const token = process.env.META_WA_ACCESS_TOKEN;
  const phoneId = process.env.META_PHONE_NUMBER_ID;

  const payload = {
    messaging_product: 'whatsapp',
    to: customerPhone,
    type: 'template',
    template: {
      name: 'cart_recovery_instant_upi',
      language: { code: 'en_IN' },
      components: [
        {
          type: 'body',
          parameters: [
            { type: 'text', text: customerName },
            { type: 'text', text: cartSummary },
          ],
        },
        {
          type: 'button',
          sub_type: 'url',
          index: '0',
          parameters: [{ type: 'text', text: checkoutUrl.replace('https://kaamlabs.in/', '') }],
        },
      ],
    },
  };

  await httpx.post(`https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/${phoneId}/messages`, payload, {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
  });
}
