Summary

In this chapter, we've learned how to create integrations that allow users to access our chatbots from Facebook Messenger, Slack, and Twilio.

We've also learned how to create an API to give us the ability to integrate our chatbots into other services that Amazon doesn't currently support. This API used a Lambda function to handle the requests sent through API Gateway.

We then used this API to create a frontend web page for our chatbot. We wrote a simple HTML document and then used a script to communicate with the API and add the messages to the page. The last thing we did was add styling to the page so that it looked like a real messaging platform.
