2. Adding Your WhatsApp Number in Pabbly Chatflow

Before integrating WhatsApp, ensure that your WhatsApp number is added to Pabbly Chatflow. If you haven’t done this yet, refer to the dedicated video tutorial linked in the description below.

  • Open the dashboard of Pabbly Chatflow.
  • Navigate to the settings to add your WhatsApp number.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Once your WhatsApp number is successfully added, you can proceed to set up the AI assistant feature. This will allow you to create an interactive chatbot for your WhatsApp.

3. Configuring the AI Assistant in Pabbly Chatflow

In this step, you will configure the AI assistant within Pabbly Chatflow. Start by selecting the AI instructions option from the left sidebar. You can choose from predefined examples or use a custom prompt to set up your chatbot’s responses.

After selecting the example or entering your custom prompt, adjust the temperature setting. This controls how creative or focused the AI responses will be. A lower temperature (e.g., 0.2) will yield more focused answers, while a higher temperature will allow for more creativity.

  • Select the AI model you wish to use.
  • Enter your OpenAI API key to connect the AI assistant.
  • Set header and footer messages for your chatbot.

Once all settings are configured, ensure that you save your changes before proceeding to the next step.

4. Customizing the Knowledge Source for Your Chatbot

To make your AI chatbot more effective, you need to upload a knowledge source that is unique to your business using Pabbly Chatflow. Prepare a Google Doc containing relevant information, and download it in either TXT or PDF format. It’s recommended to use TXT format as it has no page limit.

Upload the file in the designated area within Pabbly Chatflow. After successful upload, you will receive a confirmation message along with a vector ID, date, and time. This confirms that your knowledge base is ready for the AI assistant.

Next, customize the assistant interface by changing the heading, subheading, and other details from the left sidebar. Don’t forget to set the initial message that users will see when they start chatting with your AI assistant.

5. Finalizing and Embedding Your AI Chatbot

Once your chatbot is set up, you can finalize it by toggling the switch to activate your AI assistant in Pabbly Chatflow. After saving, you can embed the chatbot on your website by copying the provided script.

When users click on the chatbot on your website, they will be redirected to WhatsApp, and the initial message you set will automatically be sent. This allows for seamless interaction between your website visitors and your WhatsApp account.

  • Test the chatbot by sending a message through WhatsApp.
  • Ensure the AI responds promptly to user queries.
  • Adjust settings as necessary based on user feedback.

With these steps, your AI WhatsApp chatbot is ready to assist users effectively. You can also assign the chatbot to multiple contacts through the inbox settings for broader reach.
