Create a Priority Group
In level 2, you have learnt how to build your first bot and it should now be running smoothly on your WABA. As a chatbot developer, it's very important to note that you should always create a testing environment before deploying to the production environment.
Unlike the procedures we do in Facebook, we do not need to separate the environments on WhatsApp. However, we could still "create" a testing environment by creating a specific tester groups with whitelisted phone numbers.
What is your Result?
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Successful Result | You should have one priority group created in your Stella App and phone numbers of the testers will be added into the priority group. Testers will be able to activate the specific testing tree in the future. |
