Description of the bug or feature request
Description
When a user sends a WhatsApp catalog order (cart checkout), no event is created in Botpress. The message appears to be swallowed by the integration and never reaches the workflow.
Expected behavior
An event should be created for order messages, allowing them to be handled in workflows (e.g., via event.payload or a dedicated event type).
Actual behavior
- No event is triggered
- The workflow entry point (
Start) is not reached - “Wait for user input” / message listener cards are not triggered
- The message is completely ignored by the system
Steps to reproduce
Connect WhatsApp integration to Botpress
Send a product order via WhatsApp catalog (cart checkout)
Observe that:
- No event is received
- No workflow is triggered
Additional context
- Other message types (text, buttons, etc.) work correctly
- Only order messages (
type: "order") are affected
Suggested improvement
Either:
- Support
orderas a first-class event type or - At least pass the raw payload to workflows via
event.payload
Impact
This prevents handling WhatsApp catalog orders inside Botpress workflows, making it difficult to build commerce flows without external webhooks.
