By configuring these settings, your WhatsApp agent will be equipped to handle customer inquiries effectively, providing accurate and timely responses.

To enhance the functionality of your WhatsApp agent, it is essential to add a knowledge source.

In Pabbly Chatflow, you can create a knowledge source by uploading a file containing your business details.

Download the knowledge source file in either plain text or PDF format. After downloading, return to the Pabbly Chatflow interface and upload the file. This will allow your assistant to respond to customer queries based on the information provided in your knowledge source.
