What it is

Use the Zaileys skill to connect your bot to WhatsApp via a simplified Node.js API.

Real use case example

"A solo developer creates a chatbot for customer support on WhatsApp. They use Zaileys to connect their bot to a Notion database, automatically adding new user queries and storing them. This helps them track and respond to customer issues more efficiently."
