Overview

JAWCE - Java WhatsApp Cloud API Engine, is a free Open Source project, allowing you to create instant WhatsApp chatbot using the official WhatsApp Cloud API.

A project involving social media chatbot is always an exciting project to do, however creating a chatbot for WhatsApp has its challenges and is time consuming. Many common solutions to problems have to be duplicated, along with dealing with overheads such as session.

I developed JAWCE to cut development time and deliver (almost) instant, quick, easy chatbots as well as advanced ones by using template.

I created it as an Engine so that its separate from the actual chatbot logic.

You just focus on the chatbot conversation flow and the business logic - and leave the rest to the engine.

Features include:

• Out-of-the-box session management and implementations
• Hooks: Extend or add custom functionality by means of hooks.
• Templates: Create template based message flows for your users.
• Extendable: Add as dependency to your Java code and use it coupled with business logic.

Other useful features include:

• Configurable
• Support for WhatsApp Flows
• Message debounce to avoid processing repetitive webhook messages
