Again put the number "+4930609859535" here and paste the API key. After adding this number you can click the "Create Bot" to start building a flow.

**To use 360Dialog sandbox, please note that:**

1. only the phone number which requests the API key can test the bot
2. you can send "START" to get a new code, but make sure you update the key with your bot.
3. 360Dialog doesn't allow sandbox users to access their media recourses. For example, if you use a question step to ask for a photo and store the URL in a text variable. You are unable to visit this URL to get the photo because you are using a sandbox.

After testing the sandbox, to set up your **WhatsApp 360Dialog** account with **Rapidbott**, check doc here 👇
