# EventBuzz WhatsApp Concierge Service

Hapi webhook server + BullMQ workers for the virtual concierge. Uses **one** MongoDB connection via `../backend/src/config/database` (do not add a separate `mongoose` dependency in chatbot).

## Run locally

1. Start Redis and MongoDB (same `MONGODB_URI` as backend). **DigitalOcean Managed Redis** needs TLS — the app enables it automatically for `*.ondigitalocean.com` / port `25061`, or set `REDIS_TLS=true` / use `rediss://` in `REDIS_URL`.
2. Copy env from `backend/.env` and `chatbot/.env.example`.
3. One terminal — `npm run dev` starts the **API** (port 3020), **ingest**, and **inbound** workers together (reloads on file changes). Use Ctrl+C to stop all.
4. Optional — run only one process: `npm run dev:server`, `npm run dev:ingest`, or `npm run dev:inbound`.
5. Optional — purge scheduler: `npm run dev:purge` (normally not needed locally).
6. Point Meta webhook to `https://<host>/webhook/whatsapp`.

Dashboard APIs live on the main backend (`/api/concierge-bots`).
