## Changelog
- Added conditional Active Record encryption to every external
credential we store (SMTP/IMAP passwords, Twilio tokens,
Slack/OpenAI hook tokens, Facebook/Instagram tokens, LINE/Telegram keys,
Twitter secrets) so new writes are encrypted
whenever Chatwoot.encryption_configured? is true; legacy installs still
receive plaintext until their secrets are
updated.
- Tuned encryption settings in config/application.rb to allow legacy
reads (support_unencrypted_data) and to extend
deterministic queries so lookups continue to match plaintext rows during
the rollout; added TODOs to retire the
fallback once encryption becomes mandatory.
- Introduced an MFA-pipeline test suite
(spec/models/external_credentials_encryption_spec.rb) plus shared
examples to
verify each attribute encrypts at rest and that plaintext records
re-encrypt on update, with a dedicated Telegram case.
The existing MFA GitHub workflow now runs these tests using the
preconfigured encryption keys.

## Testing Instructions
1. Instance without encryption keys
- Unset ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_* vars (or run in an environment where
they’re absent).
- Create at least one credentialed channel (e.g., Email SMTP).
- Confirm workflows still function (send/receive mail or a similar
sanity check).
- In the DB you should still see plaintext values—this confirms the
guard prevents encryption when keys are missing.
2. Instance with encryption keys
- Configure the three encryption env vars and restart.
- Pick a couple of representative integrations (e.g., Email SMTP +
Twilio SMS).
- Legacy channel check:
- Use existing records created before enabling keys. Trigger their
workflow (send an email / SMS, or hit the
webhook) to ensure they still authenticate.
- Inspect the raw column—value remains plaintext until changed.
- Update legacy channel:
- Edit one legacy channel’s credential (e.g., change SMTP password).
- Verify the operation still works and the stored value is now encrypted
(raw column differs, accessor returns
original).
- New channel creation:
- Create a new channel of the same type; confirm functionality and that
the stored credential is encrypted from
the start.

We wanted to provide an option for users to specify the domains on which
they can show the website. The rest of the sites shouldn't see the
widget at all.
It's not possible generally through Origin because you can't get Origin
when loading via an iframe. What I've done is add frame ancestors for
the domains specified in allowed domains. I hope this solves most of the
problems.
This is added in a way that it won't affect existing widgets. Only If
they have configured allowed domains, it will start blocking. Otherwise,
it would follow the previous behavior without any changes.
This change supports called wild card domains as well. You can add a
comma‑separated list of domains, either wild card or regular domains.
---
To test, deploy to staging. Call the following API to update the
allowed_domains list.
```
URL: PATCH /api/v1/accounts/<account-id>/inboxes/<inbox-id>
Payload:
{
"channel": { "allowed_domains": "*.chatwoot.dev,chatwoot.com" }
}
```

## Description
This PR introduces WhatsApp Embedded Signup functionality, enabling
users to connect their WhatsApp Business accounts through Meta's
streamlined OAuth flow without manual webhook configuration. This
significantly improves the user experience by automating the entire
setup process.
**Key Features:**
- Embedded signup flow using Facebook SDK and Meta's OAuth 2.0
- Automatic webhook registration and phone number configuration
- Enhanced provider selection UI with card-based design
- Real-time progress tracking during signup process
- Comprehensive error handling and user feedback
## Required Configuration
The following environment variables must be configured by administrators
before this feature can be used:
Super Admin Configuration (via
super_admin/app_config?config=whatsapp_embedded)
- `WHATSAPP_APP_ID`: The Facebook App ID for WhatsApp Business API
integration
- `WHATSAPP_CONFIGURATION_ID`: The Configuration ID for WhatsApp
Embedded Signup flow (obtained from Meta Developer Portal)
- `WHATSAPP_APP_SECRET`: The App Secret for WhatsApp Embedded Signup
flow (required for token exchange)

## How Has This Been Tested?
#### Backend Tests (RSpec):
- Authentication validation for embedded signup endpoints
- Authorization code validation and error handling
- Missing business parameter validation
- Proper response format for configuration endpoint
- Unauthorized access prevention
#### Manual Test Cases:
- Complete embedded signup flow (happy path)
- Provider selection UI navigation
- Facebook authentication popup handling
- Error scenarios (cancelled auth, invalid business data, API failures)
- Configuration presence/absence behavior

This PR introduces basic minimum version of **Instagram Business
Login**, making Instagram inbox setup more straightforward by removing
the Facebook Page dependency. This update enhances user experience and
aligns with Meta’s recommended best practices.
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-3728/instagram-login-how-to-implement-the-changes
## Why Introduce Instagram as a Separate Inbox?
Currently, our Instagram integration requires linking an Instagram
account to a Facebook Page, making setup complex. To simplify this
process, Instagram now offers **Instagram Business Login**, which allows
users to authenticate directly with their Instagram credentials.
The **Instagram API with Instagram Login** enables businesses and
creators to send and receive messages without needing a Facebook Page
connection. While an Instagram Business or Creator account is still
required, this approach provides a more straightforward integration
process.
| **Existing Approach (Facebook Login for Business)** | **New Approach
(Instagram Business Login)** |
| --- | --- |
| Requires linking Instagram to a Facebook Page | No Facebook Page
required |
| Users log in via Facebook credentials | Users log in via Instagram
credentials |
| Configuration is more complex | Simpler setup |
Meta recommends using **Instagram Business Login** as the preferred
authentication method due to its easier configuration and improved
developer experience.
---
## Implementation Plan
The core messaging functionality is already in place, but the transition
to **Instagram Business Login** requires adjustments.
### Changes & Considerations
- **API Adjustments**: The Instagram API uses `graph.instagram`, whereas
Koala (our existing library) interacts with `graph.facebook`. We may
need to modify API calls accordingly.
- **Three Main Modules**:
1. **Instagram Business Login** – Handle authentication flow.
2. **Permissions & Features** – Ensure necessary API scopes are granted.
3. **Webhooks** – Enable real-time message retrieval.

---
## Instagram Login Flow
1. User clicks **"Create Inbox"** for Instagram.
2. App redirects to the [Instagram Authorization
URL](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/instagram-api-with-instagram-login/business-login#embed-the-business-login-url).
3. After authentication, Instagram returns an authorization code.
5. The app exchanges the code for a **long-lived token** (valid for 60
days).
6. Tokens are refreshed periodically to maintain access.
7. Once completed, the app creates an inbox and redirects to the
Chatwoot dashboard.
---
## How to Test the Instagram Inbox
1. Create a new app on [Meta's Developer
Portal](https://developers.facebook.com/apps/).
2. Select **Business** as the app type and configure it.
3. Add the Instagram product and connect a business account.
4. Copy Instagram app ID and Instagram app secret
5. Add the Instagram app ID and Instagram app secret to your app config
via `{Chatwoot installation
url}/super_admin/app_config?config=instagram`
6. Configure Webhooks:
- Callback URL: `{your_chatwoot_url}/webhooks/instagram`
- Verify Token: `INSTAGRAM_VERIFY_TOKEN`
- Subscribe to `messages`, `messaging_seen`, and `message_reactions`
events.
7. Set up **Instagram Business Login**:
- Redirect URL: `{your_chatwoot_url}/instagram/callback`
8. Test inbox creation via the Chatwoot dashboard.
## Troubleshooting & Common Errors
### Insufficient Developer Role Error
- Ensure the Instagram user is added as a developer:
- **Meta Dashboard → App Roles → Roles → Add People → Enter Instagram
ID**
### API Access Deactivated
- Ensure the **Privacy Policy URL** is valid and correctly set.
### Invalid request: Request parameters are invalid: Invalid
redirect_uri
- Please configure the Frontend URL. The Frontend URL does not match the
authorization URL.

This allows a user to add/update a custom regex and a cue while defining custom attributes(Only applicable for type- text).
While adding/editing custom attributes, the values are validated against the attribute definition regex, and if it is incorrect, a cue message or default error message is shown and restricts invalid values from being saved.
