πŸš€ Building an Interactive WhatsApp Bot with Cloud API πŸ€–

I’m excited to share my recent project where I developed a dynamic WhatsApp bot using the WhatsApp Cloud API! πŸŽ‰

The bot is designed to interact seamlessly with users through interactive buttons, making conversations more intuitive and efficient. Here's a quick breakdown of what the bot does:

πŸ”Ή Features:

  • Asks users what they’d like to order (e.g., Tea, Coffee, or Bread Slices) with clickable button options.
  • Dynamically follows up based on the user's selection (e.g., "How many cups/slices?").
  • Sends a personalized confirmation message once the order is placed.

πŸ”Ή Tech Stack:

  • Node.js for backend logic
  • Express.js to handle the webhook
  • Axios for making API calls to the WhatsApp Cloud API

πŸ”Ή Challenges & Learnings:

  • Setting up the webhook and ensuring real-time interactions was both a challenge and a rewarding learning experience.
  • Handling dynamic user states efficiently was key to creating a smooth user experience.

πŸ”Ή Use Case:
This bot can be a game-changer for small businesses looking to automate order-taking or customer service through WhatsApp!

πŸ’‘ Exploring automation in messaging platforms like WhatsApp has been an insightful journey. If you're looking to automate workflows or build something similar, let’s connect and brainstorm!
