Now, you will configure your AI assistant settings within Pabbly Chatflow. You can set a fallback message to guide users if the AI cannot answer their queries. For example, you might say, ‘I am here to assist with company information or support.’ This helps in managing customer expectations effectively.

Additionally, you can upload a knowledge base file that contains all relevant information about your pet store. This file can be in PDF or TXT format and should include details about products, services, and company policies. Uploading this file ensures that the AI assistant can provide accurate information to customers.

• Enter your company contact information in the assistant settings.
• Toggle on the header and footer messages if you want to include them in conversations.

Finally, ensure that the AI assistant is active by toggling the activation switch on. This allows your AI agent to start responding to customer inquiries via WhatsApp.

To activate your AI assistant for customer interactions, navigate to the inbox settings within Pabbly Chatflow. Here, you can assign your newly created AI assistant to specific contacts or groups. This is crucial for ensuring that your AI agent can respond to customer messages effectively.

Select the contact list you want to assign the AI assistant to. You can choose to enable AI auto-reply for all contacts or specific groups, ensuring that your assistant is always ready to assist customers. After making your selections, click on ‘Save’ to apply the changes.
