Getting Started
To begin using this template:
- Click the "Start with this Template" button in the Lazy Builder interface.
Initial Setup
Before running the bot, you need to set up some environment secrets:
- Go to the "Environment Secrets" tab in the Lazy Builder.
- Add the following secrets:
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID: Your Twilio Account SIDTWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN: Your Twilio Auth Token

- Find your Account SID and Auth Token on the dashboard.
- Copy these values and paste them into the corresponding environment secrets in Lazy.
Test the Application
To deploy and run the bot:
- Click the "Test" button in the Lazy Builder interface.
- Wait for the deployment process to complete.
Entering Input
After deployment, you'll be prompted to enter some information through the Lazy CLI:
- Enter your WhatsApp business phone number (the number you want the bot to use).
- Provide any additional configuration details as prompted.
Using the App
Once set up, the bot will be ready to handle WhatsApp messages. It can:
- Guide users through the appointment booking process
- Suggest available time slots
- Confirm bookings
- Handle rescheduling and cancellations
- Send follow-up messages to users who haven't completed their bookings
Integrating the App
To fully integrate the bot with your WhatsApp Business account:
- Log into your Twilio Console.
- Navigate to "Messaging" > "Settings" > "WhatsApp Sandbox".
- In the "Sandbox Configuration" section, find the "When a message comes in" field.
- Paste the server link provided by Lazy after deployment into this field.
- Save your changes.
Now, your WhatsApp bot is connected and ready to handle incoming messages.
Setting Up WhatsApp Business API
To use this bot with a real WhatsApp Business number:
- Apply for WhatsApp Business API access through Twilio.
- Once approved, follow Twilio's instructions to set up your WhatsApp Business number.
- Update your Twilio configuration to use the new number instead of the sandbox.
