In this section, you will design the flow that users will interact with. Start by selecting the “Create Flow” option in Pabbly Chatflow. Use a template or create a flow from scratch, ensuring it includes buttons for user interaction.

  • Configure each button to trigger specific actions within the flow.

By using Pabbly Chatflow, you can set up a user-friendly interface that guides customers through their options seamlessly. Each button choice will lead to different responses or actions.

3. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Chatflow

After creating your flow, the next step is to save user data into Google Sheets. This is where Pabbly Connect comes into play. You’ll need to set up a connection between your Pabbly Chatflow flow and Google Sheets.

To do this, go to Pabbly Connect and create a new workflow. Choose Pabbly Chatflow as your trigger application and set the event to “New Message”. This will activate the workflow when a user interacts with your bot.

In this step, you will enhance your WhatsApp bot by assigning an AI Assistant to handle customer queries. Return to your flow in Pabbly Chatflow and select the option to add an AI Assistant.

Choose the AI Assistant you have created in your Pabbly account. This assistant will respond to user inquiries based on the information provided in your flow.

  • Select the AI Assistant from the left sidebar in Pabbly Chatflow.
  • Configure the welcome message that the AI Assistant will send to users.
  • Ensure that the AI Assistant is linked to respond to specific user inputs.

This integration allows your bot to provide immediate assistance and is a key feature of Pabbly Chatflow that enhances user experience.

5. Testing and Launching Your WhatsApp Automation Bot

After setting up your flow and integrations, it’s crucial to test your WhatsApp Automation Bot. Use the testing features in Pabbly Chatflow to simulate user interactions.

Check if the data is being sent to Google Sheets correctly and if the AI Assistant responds as expected. Make any adjustments necessary to ensure a smooth user experience.

Once testing is complete, launch your WhatsApp Automation Bot. Share it with your audience and monitor its performance. With Pabbly Chatflow, you can continually refine and enhance your bot based on user feedback.
