What is WhatsApp Bot?
It works using predefined rules, conversation flows, or artificial intelligence.
It is mainly used for customer support, lead qualification, and sales communication.
What is API Key?
An API Key is a unique code or token used for authentication.
It helps systems identify and verify requests.
It is used to connect tools or platforms with WhatsApp and ensures secure communication.
In simple terms, it acts like a password that allows access to the API.
How It Works
First, the user sends a message on WhatsApp.
The message is received by the WhatsApp API.
The API checks and verifies the request using the API Key.
Once verified, the bot processes the message based on rules or logic.
Finally, the bot sends a response back to the user on WhatsApp.
