The WhatsApp bot, built in Node.js with Twilio, provides features for sending and receiving messages, personalized automatic responses, and integration with external APIs. All of this is aimed at delivering an enhanced user experience and efficient automation.

• Node.js
• Validation
• Twilio API

This bot is developed using Node.js, a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It allows for asynchronous event-driven programming which is perfect for handling incoming and outgoing messages efficiently.

The script includes validation mechanisms to ensure that incoming messages are properly formatted and processed according to the bot's intended functionality. This helps maintain the reliability and security of interactions with users.

Twilio is used to facilitate communication between the bot and WhatsApp users. It provides APIs for sending and receiving messages, managing contacts, and more. Integration with Twilio allows the bot to operate seamlessly within the WhatsApp ecosystem.
