Voice and Text Chatbot designed for WhatsApp and Telegram

Twilio Sandbox

Twilio Sandbox is a prototyping tool that Twilio has provided for testing WhatsApp integrated applications. Here is how it works.

There is a single Twilio phone number for the sandbox: +1-415-523-8886. All Sandbox users share this same number, and then there is a specific "join..." message for each individual sandbox. Through this sandbox, Twilio can send templated messages to WhatsApp users, or reply to incoming messages: a WhatsApp user first sends this "join..." message to the Twilio sandbox phone number on WhatsApp to join a specific sandbox, and after that the user can send more messages. Twilio then forwards the incoming messages to an application through a webhook.
