Research direction
First, explore the Pipedream codebase under 'components/whatsapp' to understand existing action components and their structure. Then, review the WhatsApp Business API documentation for the 'retrieve conversation' endpoint (likely via GraphQL). Implement a new action that pulls conversation messages and optionally formats them for sending a response. Check if any similar PRs or issues exist to avoid duplication.
