The project involves integrating chat APIs for Facebook, Instagram, Twilio, and Email into the Hinna.io chat microservice. This task is crucial for enhancing the communication capabilities of Hinna.io, a platform used by ABC Academy of Music to streamline interactions with students and staff. The integration will allow seamless communication across multiple platforms, ensuring that users can engage with the academy through their preferred channels. The project will provide learners with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of API integration and microservices architecture, working closely with a student development team currently building the core microservice. The goal is to create a cohesive and efficient chat system that meets the academy's communication needs.

- Understand the existing architecture of the Hinna.io chat microservice.

- Research and implement API integration for Facebook, Instagram, Twilio, and Email.

- Collaborate with the student dev team to ensure smooth integration.

- Test the integrated system for functionality and reliability.

The project deliverables include a integrating and testing the APIs within the chat system, so it is capable of handling communications via Facebook, Instagram, Twilio, and Email. The ASU team and project sponsor will provide documentation and support for the integration process and any challenges encountered. Additionally, demonstrations of the system's functionality may be conducted to showcase the successful integration, and which can be submitted as 'work done' within Riipen.

- A functional chat system integrated with specified APIs.

- Comprehensive documentation of the integration process.

- A demonstration of the integrated system's capabilities.
