#8
#9	```bash
#10	pip install --upgrade embedchain
#11	```
#12
#13	2. Launch your WhatsApp bot:
#14
#15	<Tabs>
#16	<Tab title="docker">
#17	```bash
#18	docker run --name whatsapp-bot -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx -p 8000:8000 embedchain/whatsapp-bot

#29	If your bot needs to be accessible online, use your machine's public IP or DNS. Otherwise, employ a proxy server like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to make your local bot accessible.

#31	3. Create a free account on [Twilio](https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio)
#32	- Set up a WhatsApp Sandbox in your Twilio dashboard. Access it via the left sidebar: `Messaging > Try it out > Send a WhatsApp Message`.
#33	- Follow on-screen instructions to link a phone number for chatting with your bot
#34	- Copy your bot's public URL, add /chat at the end, and paste it in Twilio's WhatsApp Sandbox settings under "When a message comes in". Save the settings.
#35
#36	- Copy your bot's public url, append `/chat` at the end and paste it under `When a message comes in` under the `Sandbox settings` for Whatsapp in Twilio. Save your settings.
