Flows

A Flow is a form inside WhatsApp. The assistant saves a static draft, and it publishes or sends only after you ask. Standard includes 5 Flows. Premium includes unlimited Flows. Starter does not include them.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`validate_flow`	Checks the Flow without calling Meta. Name, screen title, heading, body, and input label must fit `get_limits`.
`create_flow`	Saves a draft. A draft blocks `send_flow` until `publish_flow` succeeds.
`update_flow`	Updates a draft.
`list_flows`	Lists Flows on the account.
`get_flow`	Reads one Flow and whether it is a draft or published.
`publish_flow`	Publishes a draft. Call it only after you ask. Optional `metaPhoneNumberId` selects the number. Validation errors stay on this tool.
`send_flow`	Sends a published Flow to one `to` number. `body` is required. Optional `flowCta`, `header`, and `footer`.
`deprecate_flow`	Stops a published Flow from being sent again.
`delete_flow`	Deletes a draft. Meta rejects delete after the Flow is published. Only after you ask.
`list_flow_submissions`	Lists submissions. `limit` is at most 200.
`get_flow_analytics`	Reads one Flow, including submissions and completion. Optional `recentLimit` up to 100.
`get_flows_analytics`	Reads every Flow on the account.
`get_flow_phone_encryption`	Reads the phone number encryption public key Flows use.

create_flow takes name, up to 5 categories, and screens. Each screen has title, optional body and footerLabel, and fields. The assistant does not call send_flow for a draft, and it does not publish while validation is failing.
