1. Accessing Pabbly Chatflow for AI Integration

To begin integrating an AI hiring assistant using Pabbly Chatflow, first navigate to the Pabbly Chatflow website. You can sign up for a free account which provides you with 100 free credits every month.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard. From here, you can add your WhatsApp number by selecting the appropriate method. This step is crucial for enabling your AI assistant to interact with candidates through WhatsApp.

2. Creating Your AI Assistant in Pabbly Chatflow

After accessing Pabbly Chatflow, begin by clicking on the “AI Assistant” section. Here, you can deactivate any existing assistants and create a new one by clicking the “Add a Assistant” button.

  • Name your assistant meaningfully, e.g., “AI Hiring Assistant”.
  • Follow the four simple steps: AI instructions, knowledge source, assistant interface, and styling.

In the AI instructions, select the instruction type as “AI Agent” to create a hiring assistant. This will help streamline the candidate screening process through WhatsApp.

3. Configuring Your AI Assistant in Pabbly Chatflow

Next, configure your assistant settings within Pabbly Chatflow. Set the temperature to 0.5 to balance creativity and focus in responses. Choose the OpenAI model, specifically GPT 5.4, for generating replies.

To connect the AI, you will need an API key from OpenAI. Create a new security key on the OpenAI platform and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Chatflow. This step is essential for your assistant to function correctly.

  • Add a header and footer message for user interactions.
  • Set a stop keyword to allow users to opt-out of the assistant.
  • Specify fallback messages for error handling.

After making these configurations, your AI assistant will be better equipped to handle candidate queries effectively.

4. Uploading Knowledge Source to Pabbly Chatflow

In this step, upload a knowledge base file that contains essential information about your business. This file will serve as the brain of your AI assistant, helping it answer candidate queries accurately.

Download your knowledge base from Google Docs in PDF format. Ensure the file meets the requirements specified in Pabbly Chatflow, such as being under 90 MB and in either text or PDF format.

  • Drag and drop the file into the upload section.
  • Ensure the file uploads successfully to proceed.

Once the knowledge base is uploaded, your assistant will be able to access this information to better assist candidates.

5. Testing Your AI Assistant in Pabbly Chatflow

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, it’s time to test your AI assistant. Create a flow in Pabbly Chatflow that triggers the assistant when a candidate sends the keyword “apply” in WhatsApp.

Set the trigger event to match the keyword and connect it with the action step that assigns your AI assistant. This ensures that whenever a candidate sends the keyword, they receive immediate assistance.

  • Save the flow to ensure it is active.
  • Test the flow by sending the keyword from your WhatsApp account.

Upon sending the keyword, you should receive a welcome message from your AI assistant, confirming that the integration is successful.
