Building a WhatsApp Chatbot with Africoders

What We're Building

A WhatsApp bot for a restaurant that can:

  • Show the menu when asked
  • Take orders
  • Confirm delivery times
  • Escalate to a human for complex questions

Architecture

We'll use webhooks to receive incoming messages, a simple state machine for conversation flow, and the Africoders WhatsApp API to send responses.

Code Walkthrough

Full code available on our GitHub — this tutorial walks through the key concepts.
