2. Creating Your AI Assistant in Pabbly Chat Flow

Once you are in the Pabbly Chat Flow dashboard, you can start creating your AI assistant. Click on the “AI Assistant” feature available in the dashboard. This section shows the total number of assistants and their statuses.

  • Click the “Add” button to create a new assistant.
  • Give your assistant a name and click “Add” again.
  • You will be directed to a flow window where you can set up instructions.

In this flow window, select the type of instructions from the dropdown menu. For instance, you may choose “AI Agent” as your instruction type. This will update the basic instructions needed for your assistant, which will be powered by Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up OpenAI for Your Assistant

After selecting the instruction type, you need to configure the AI settings. The first option is the service provider, which should be set to OpenAI. For the model, select GPT-6, or any other model that fits your requirements.

Next, you will need to enter your OpenAI API Key. To obtain this key, navigate to your OpenAI account and click on “Create New Secret Key”. Name your key and select the project before clicking “Create Secret Key”. Copy the generated key and paste it into the appropriate field in Pabbly Connect.

Once you have entered your API Key, click on the “Connect” button to link your OpenAI account with your assistant. This integration allows your assistant to respond to queries using OpenAI’s capabilities through Pabbly Connect.

4. Configuring Your Assistant’s Settings

In this section, you can configure various settings for your assistant. The first setting is the header message. Activate the toggle to add a header message, which can be up to 60 characters. You can also set a footer message similarly.

  • Add keywords for stopping the assistant’s responses.
  • Define the number of retry attempts before the assistant gives a fallback message.
  • Set a fallback message that the assistant will send when it cannot provide a response.

These settings ensure that your assistant behaves as expected and can handle various scenarios effectively. Once you are satisfied with the settings, save your changes to proceed with configuring your assistant through Pabbly Connect.

5. Activating Your WhatsApp Assistant

To activate your WhatsApp assistant, you need to enable it within your account settings. Navigate to the inbox settings and scroll to find the AI response settings. Here, toggle the option to allow your assistant to respond to chats.

Select the contact list from the dropdown menu and choose the assistant you just created. Click the “Save” button to assign your assistant to all contacts in that list. This action effectively enables your assistant to manage conversations on WhatsApp via Pabbly Connect.

You can also assign your assistant to specific WhatsApp conversations by selecting a conversation from the inbox and toggling the assistant option. This flexibility allows you to tailor your assistant’s responses based on your operational needs.
