How to Create a WhatsApp Chatbot Using WhatsApp API in Laravel

WhatsApp chatbots are becoming essential for businesses to automate customer interactions. Using Laravel and the CrunchzApp WhatsApp API, you can build a chatbot to handle messages and queries automatically. To create the chatbot, you'll need to install Laravel, the CrunchzApp SDK, and configure your API credentials. Set up routes and a controller to handle incoming messages and send automated replies. Configure a webhook in CrunchzApp to receive real-time messages. When a message is received, the chatbot's logic will determine the appropriate response. You can test the chatbot by sending messages to your WhatsApp number linked to the API. To enhance your chatbot, consider implementing NLP, user data storage, and error handling. CrunchzApp offers a 7-day free trial to integrate WhatsApp messaging into your Laravel app.
