## Documentation

## Deploy and Host

Deploy this template on Railway, add your admin password and session secret, then open the generated public URL. For live WhatsApp, add Meta Cloud API credentials and set the webhook to https://YOUR_DOMAIN/webhooks/whatsapp with the same WHATSAPP_VERIFY_TOKEN.

## About Hosting

This stack runs an API + admin UI with PostgreSQL and Redis. With RUN_WORKER_IN_API=true, message workers run inside the API service. Demo mode works without WhatsApp keys so you can test the inbox immediately.

## Why Deploy

Get a ready WhatsApp AI support desk and light CRM without building webhooks, queues, storage, and an admin UI yourself. Useful for agencies and small businesses that want AI replies, lead capture, and human handoff in one deploy.

## Common Use Cases

- AI first-line WhatsApp customer support
- Lead capture and simple CRM from chat
- FAQ / knowledge-base auto replies
- Human handoff for sales or support teams
- n8n / webhook automation from inbound messages

## Dependencies for

- Railway PostgreSQL plugin
- Railway Redis plugin
- Optional OpenAI API key for smarter AI replies
- Optional Meta WhatsApp Cloud API for live messaging
