2. Creating a WhatsApp Chatbot with Pabbly Chatflow

After logging into Pabbly Chatflow, the next step is to create your WhatsApp chatbot. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button to enter the Chatflow dashboard. Here, you can manage your WhatsApp numbers and set up your automation flows.

  • Click on the ‘Add WhatsApp Number’ button to integrate your WhatsApp account.

3. Setting Up the Chatbot Flow in Pabbly Chatflow

To set up your chatbot flow in Pabbly Chatflow, you’ll first need to define a trigger event. Select the trigger type as ‘Keywords’ which will activate the bot when specific words are sent by users.

Next, drag and drop the ‘List’ button into your flow. This will allow you to present users with options for the services they can book. Fill in the header and body fields, such as ‘Welcome to Vision Care Eye Clinic’ and prompt them to select a service type.

  • Add options like ‘Eye Checkup,’ ‘Vision Test,’ and ‘Dry Eye Treatment’ in the service list.
  • Connect this list to the trigger event to ensure the bot responds correctly.

This setup allows your bot to interact effectively with patients, guiding them through the appointment booking process seamlessly.


4. Collecting User Information via Pabbly Chatflow

Once a user selects a service, your Pabbly Chatflow bot needs to collect additional information. Use the ‘Ask a Question’ button to prompt users for their preferred appointment date.

After receiving the date, follow up with questions to gather the user’s full name and contact number. This structured approach ensures that all necessary information is collected efficiently.

For the full name, set the response format as text. For the contact number, ensure the format is set to number with appropriate validation rules.

By structuring your questions, you can ensure that the bot captures all relevant details needed for appointment confirmation.


5. Finalizing the Appointment Confirmation

After collecting all required information, the last step in Pabbly Chatflow is to send a confirmation message to the user. Use the ‘Message’ option to create a personalized response that includes the user’s details.

Your confirmation message can say, ‘Your appointment is confirmed. Here are your details: Name, Contact Number, Service Type, and Appointment Date.’ The use of dynamic fields allows for a personalized touch, making users feel valued.

Finally, don’t forget to save your flow to ensure all changes are updated. This step is crucial for the chatbot to function correctly and provide real-time responses to patients.
