Issues while deploying a whatsapp bot on vercel - node.js

Question

I have created a whatsapp bot which uses openai, whatsapp-web.js and nodejs.
While deploying it on vercel, I am facing following issues:
Error: Failed to launch the browser process!
[0212/144729.058867:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported.
These are the output that I am getting on deployment:

const sendMessage = async (chat, message) => {

};
//Replying Messages with image from url
client.on("message", async (message) => {
const chat = await message.getChat();
if (!chat.isGroup) {
sendMessage(chat, message.body);
}
});
