Once your number is added, click on ‘Flows’ to access the flow builder. Here, you can create a new flow for your WhatsApp chatbot. Follow these steps to set it up:

• Click on ‘Add Flow’ to create a new chatbot flow.
• Select a trigger event, such as keyword match, to initiate the chatbot.
• Add keywords that will trigger your bot, like ‘event’ or ‘hello’.

Once these steps are completed, your WhatsApp chatbot will be ready to interact with users when they send the specified keywords.

3. Creating the Chatbot Flow with Pabbly Chatflow

With your WhatsApp chatbot initiated, you can now create the flow that captures leads. In Pabbly Chatflow, drag and drop the necessary action buttons to design your bot’s conversation. Start with a welcome message that introduces your services.

For instance, when a user triggers the bot, it should send a message like ‘Welcome to Grand Aura events!’ and then ask a series of questions about their event. Here are the steps to create this flow:

Add a text action for the welcome message. Use the ‘Ask Question’ action to gather details such as event type, guest count, budget, and date. Map the responses to custom fields for later retrieval.

After setting up these interactions, your chatbot will effectively gather necessary information from leads and prepare to send it to your sales team via Pabbly Connect for follow-up management.

4. Integrating Chatbot Responses with Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect

To ensure all captured lead details are organized, you can integrate your WhatsApp chatbot with Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to store customer responses automatically, facilitating better follow-up.

In Pabbly Connect, create a new workflow that connects Pabbly Chatflow to Google Sheets. Follow these steps:

Select Pabbly Chatflow as the trigger application and set the event to ‘New Message Received’. Copy the webhook URL provided and paste it into your Pabbly Chatflow settings. Add Google Sheets as the action application and configure it to save the lead details in a new row.

This integration will ensure that every lead captured by your WhatsApp bot is recorded in your Google Sheets for easy access and management by your sales team.

5. Sending Email Notifications to Your Sales Team with Pabbly Connect

In addition to storing lead information, you can set up email notifications for your sales team using Pabbly Connect. This ensures that your team is promptly informed about new leads captured through the WhatsApp bot.

To configure email notifications, follow these steps in Pabbly Connect:

Add Gmail as the action application and select ‘Send Email’ as the event. Connect your Gmail account and specify the recipient email address for your sales team. Map the lead details captured from the WhatsApp bot into the email content.

With this setup, your sales team will receive an email notification every time a new lead is captured, allowing them to follow up efficiently and effectively.
