Not able to an API !!
I have tried using both the dashboard & cli but facing this issue. The api is hosted I can see the
listening in port 3000 console log & it has messaged me in whatsapp as i wanted but the endpoints are not working !!
There is no issue with my code as there are no err logs + it works in render.com & locahost.

what's app bots can not be deployed onto railway regardless of the plan, it is against the fair use policy

N/Aim sorry but whatsapp bots are not allowed on railway
So is railway intensionally doing this ??
Project ID: e8caba30-a75e-4c99-9dd2-0fef50ffa896
no thats not the actual issue, but we wont be able to provide assistance for something that shouldnt be running on railway, sorry
oh okay
thank you for understanding, please host whatsapp bots elsewhere
Hey, actually it is like sending invoices after billing in my software does that also shouldn't be running on railway ??
that itself is fine, as long as whatsapp isnt used in that scenario
Does railway allow any other medium such as sms, dicord ,mail etc....
for me to switch from whatsapp
sms, dicord ,mailyes, yes, yes reason being as to why whatsapp is a no go is because it does not use offical apis, thus it is a userbot im sorry for assuming but i dont think you are using meta's offical api for whatsapp
Oh okay got it....
the three options you listed would all be perfect, since you can use offical apis to send messages through those methods
Okay lemme integrate mail
sounds good, again thank you for understanding
once whatsapp isnt being used id be happy to sort out the app failed to respond issue
@Brody Can we deploy whatsapp bots in the paid plans ? If not could you please suggest any other alternatives.
1) Tried cyclic.sh (My build is exceeding 250mb)
2) render (A bit Expensive)....
