A few months ago, I'd started making chatbots on Telegram - I'd seen APIs for WhatsApp but they were unoffical and there was a chance for getting your number blocked 📱 ❌
A week ago, I saw that Twilio had an official WhatsApp API. 30 minutes later, I made a Wikipedia bot on WhatsApp 👇
This is a workshop to help you make a something like this, and make your own chatbots on WhatsApp, in just 30 minutes 🎓
First, Sign up for Twilio - it's free and you won't need a credit card 💳
Once you're done verifying your phone number, select Procuts > Programmable SMS and then continue to name your project.
Feel free to skip steps for adding teammates - you won't need that for now.
You must now take note of some authentication keys you'll need for building the WhatsApp bot 👇
