Python Zeep library designed to work with SOAP - services. Zeep is a pure-python module. However the lxml dependency does contain C code since it uses libxml2 and libxslt. So the Zeep library can not be deployed into the Lambda Layer without some tricks. In one of my Serverless projects, I needed to use this library, and I found such a way to deploy it into the Layer:

Many of my clients use Bitrix24 cloud version as a CRM system and project management system. The main advantage of the cloud version over the on-premise is that the client does not need to think about a server, it's support and security. However, this advantage is partially lost when the need arises to extend the functionality of Bitrix24 through custom applications. Fortunately for the operation of simple non-replicable applications, those for which webhooks are usually used, do not need a server. Serverless service Lambda from AWS (Amazon Web Services) https://aws.amazon.com/ru/lambda/ and Amazon API Gateway https://aws.amazon.com/ru/api-gateway/ are enough.

The task of integrating the CRM Bitrix24 with WhatsApp was implemented by me and my team 4 times using various methods. (2 times for Cloud Bitrix24 and 2 times for Self-hosted Bitrix24).

The WhatsApp messenger has not yet opened API for everyone, so in order to integrate Bitrix24 with WhatsApp, we had to use third-party services as a proxy.
