Watch out for

Twilio message content limits can truncate long responses so implement pagination or summary logic for lengthy applications.
Timezone mismatches between user input and server time cause scheduling errors so always normalize timestamps to UTC before calendar creation.
Duplicate WhatsApp messages from network retries can trigger multiple screenings so add idempotency checks using Twilio Message SIDs.
Google Calendar API conflicts may arise if slots are double-booked so verify slot availability before committing the event.
