3. Creating the Chatbot Flow in Pabbly Connect

The flow of your WhatsApp chatbot can be designed using various message and action blocks available in Pabbly Connect. For example, when a user sends a greeting, the chatbot can respond with a welcome message and present options like “View Courses” or “Ask Questions”.

  • Create buttons for user interaction.
  • Set up actions that respond to button clicks.

After setting up the initial message and buttons, you can create a list of courses offered by your business. This will allow users to select a course and proceed to enroll. The integration between your chatbot and Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect ensures that user data is captured automatically.

To integrate the AI assistant, you will need to select the appropriate action block in Pabbly Connect and link it to the “Ask Questions” button in your chatbot. The AI will utilize the knowledge base to provide accurate answers to user queries.

  • Create a knowledge base with detailed information about your services.
  • Link the AI assistant to the chatbot flow.
  • Test the AI responses to ensure accuracy.

This integration allows your WhatsApp chatbot to function efficiently, providing users with the information they need 24/7, thereby enhancing customer experience and satisfaction.
