2. Creating Your Chatbot Flow with Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a flow for your WhatsApp chatbot using Pabbly Connect. Begin by clicking on the “Flows” feature on your dashboard. You can name your flow, for example, “Build a WhatsApp Chatbot in 2 Minutes with No Coding”.

  • Click on the “Save” button to save your flow.
  • Toggle the active/inactive switch to activate your flow.

Next, select the trigger event for your chatbot. Choose the “Keyword” option since this will help your bot respond to specific messages. Add keywords like “Hi” and “Hello” that users might send to initiate the conversation.

3. Adding a Welcome Message in Pabbly Connect

Once the trigger keywords are set, the next step is to configure the welcome message. In Pabbly Connect, you can add a text button that sends a welcome message when a user sends any of the specified keywords.

  • Enter your welcome message in the designated box.
  • Add quick buttons for options like “Become a Designer” and “View Fees”.

Link this welcome message to the trigger point of your flow. This way, when a user sends a keyword, they will receive the welcome message, and the conversation can proceed based on their choices.

4. Collecting User Data with Pabbly Connect

To enhance your chatbot’s functionality, you can collect user data effectively using Pabbly Connect. After the welcome message, set up a series of questions to gather information like the user’s full name and preferred consultation date.

For each question, utilize the “Ask Question” button, specifying the contact custom field for responses. For example, create fields for “Full Name” and “Contact Number” to store user data dynamically.

  • Ensure the input format is correct to avoid confusion.
  • Link each question to the appropriate contact custom field.

This setup allows your chatbot to build a comprehensive database of users while engaging them in conversation. The more data you collect, the better the personalized responses you can provide.

5. Finalizing Your WhatsApp Chatbot with Pabbly Connect

After setting up all the questions and responses, it’s time to finalize your chatbot using Pabbly Connect. Make sure to save your flow to prevent losing any progress. If you switch tabs without saving, all your hard work could be lost.

Once saved, test your chatbot by sending the trigger keywords through your WhatsApp account. Ensure that it responds correctly with the welcome message and follows the flow you designed.

  • Review each step to ensure the chatbot functions as intended.
  • Make adjustments based on user feedback and interactions.

This process will help you create an efficient WhatsApp chatbot tailored to your business needs. With Pabbly Connect, you can customize and automate your chatbot effortlessly.
