About

Crisp ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 12 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Crisp is a customer messaging and support platform — live chat widget, shared inbox, and contact (“people”) CRM in one workspace.

This app covers the core loop a workflow needs: read and list conversations, create a new conversation session, send a chat reply or an internal note, update a conversation’s state (pending/unresolved/resolved) or its visitor metadata (nickname, email, subject, segments), and manage contact profiles (list, get, create, update). It also resolves the connected workspace’s own information, which doubles as the credential-liveness probe.

Crisp’s REST API is much broader than this — helpdesk articles, campaigns, plugin/widget management, buckets and media, call sessions, browsing-assist — none of which is implemented here; see README.md for exactly what was left out and why.

Build with Crisp

Three routes to the same 12 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Crisp's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Conversation

create-conversation

Creates a new, empty conversation session. Send a message to make it visible.

Create People Profile

create-people-profile

Creates a new contact (people) profile.

Get Conversation

get-conversation

Resolves a single conversation's information by session ID.

Get People Profile

get-people-profile

Resolves a contact (people) profile by ID or email.

Get Website

get-website

Resolves information about the connected Crisp workspace.

List Conversations

list-conversations

List conversations in the workspace, paged 20-50 per page.

List Messages

list-messages

List messages in a conversation, newest batch first.

List People Profiles

list-people

List contact (people) profiles in the workspace.

Send Message

send-message

Sends a text message or an internal note into an existing conversation.

Update Conversation Meta

update-conversation-meta

Updates a conversation's visitor identity, subject, or segments.

Update Conversation State

update-conversation-state

Marks a conversation as pending, unresolved, or resolved.

Update People Profile

update-people-profile

Updates fields on an existing contact (people) profile.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Crisp's real ids.

+7 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Crisp, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Crisp. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "create-people-profile",
  payload: {
    email: "<value>",
    nickname: "<value>",
    // phone: "<value>",
    // address: "<value>",
    // companyName: "<value>",
    // segments: "<value>",
    // notepad: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action create-people-profile --payload '{"email":"<value>","nickname":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Crisp — without giving it Crisp's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.crisp#create-people-profile",
    "input": {
      "email": "<email>",
      "nickname": "<nickname>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Crisp connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Crisp's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Crisp itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Health checks

Crisp declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
