1. Accessing Pabbly Chatflow for Course Enrollment Automation

To automate course enrollment for e-learning institutes on WhatsApp, the first step is to access Pabbly Chatflow. Start by visiting the Pabbly Chatflow website at www.Pabbly.com/chatflow. You will need to sign in to your account or create a new one if you are a first-time user.

Once you are logged in, you will see the dashboard displaying your credits and available features. To proceed, ensure that your WhatsApp number is connected by clicking on the ‘Add WhatsApp Number’ button. This integration is crucial for enabling automated responses through the WhatsApp chatbot.

2. Creating a WhatsApp Chatbot with Pabbly Chatflow

Next, you will create a WhatsApp chatbot using Pabbly Chatflow. Navigate to the ‘Flows’ section on the left sidebar and click on the ‘Add Flow’ button. This will take you to the flow builder where you can set up your chatbot’s responses.

• Click on the trigger event and select ‘Keyword Regex Match’ to start the flow.
• Enter keywords like ‘registration’ and ‘enroll’ to activate the chatbot when users send messages containing these terms.
• Set up the regex to capture various expressions related to course enrollment.

After configuring the trigger, you can set the initial message that users will receive. For instance, the bot can greet users with a message like, ‘Hi, welcome to Learn Smart Academy. Please choose the course you want to enroll in.’ This interaction sets the stage for further questions regarding the user’s enrollment.

3. Collecting User Information through Pabbly Chatflow

Once the user selects a course, Pabbly Chatflow will prompt them for essential information. The bot will ask for the user’s full name, email address, and phone number. This is done through the ‘Ask Question’ feature in the flow builder.

• For each question, create a contact custom field to store responses.
• Ensure the format for each field matches the type of data being collected (e.g., text for names, email for addresses).
• Save the flow regularly to avoid losing any progress.

As users provide their information, Pabbly Chatflow captures these details, creating a personalized experience. After collecting the information, the chatbot will send a confirmation message, thanking the user for enrolling and providing course details.

4. Integrating Pabbly Connect with Google Sheets

To manage user data efficiently, you can integrate Pabbly Chatflow with Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to store all collected user information in a structured format. Start by creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect and select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as the trigger.

Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and paste it into the API request in your Chatflow. Map the fields from the Chatflow responses (name, email, phone) to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheet. Test the connection to ensure that data is being sent correctly.

This integration not only streamlines data collection but also ensures that all user enrollment details are easily accessible in Google Sheets for future reference.

5. Testing and Launching the WhatsApp Chatbot

After completing the setup, it’s essential to test your WhatsApp chatbot created with Pabbly Chatflow. Send a message like ‘I want to register for your course’ to your WhatsApp number. The bot should respond with the course options and proceed to collect user information as designed.

Ensure that all functionalities work as expected and that the data is correctly recorded in Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect. After confirming everything is operational, you can officially launch your chatbot for users to access and enroll in courses seamlessly.
