Once you feel like the bot is ready, it’s time to test it ourselves.
‍

For that, up in the right corner click on Publish and then on “test this bot”. Add a phone number that has the regular WhatsApp app installed in order to test it. Once you click on “test”, check your phone because you should have received a WhatsApp notification. Click on “Ok, let's test” and you will be able to interact with the chatbot you just built!
