To start creating your WhatsApp AI agent using Pabbly Connect, you first need to access the Pabbly Chatbot platform. Simply search for pabbly.com/chatbot in your browser.

Once you land on the homepage, you can either sign up for a free trial or log in if you’re an existing user. After logging in, you will see all Pabbly applications, including Pabbly Chatbot, which is essential for your WhatsApp integration.

2. Creating Your WhatsApp AI Agent with Pabbly Chatbot

Next, to create your WhatsApp AI agent, navigate to the Pabbly Chat Flow section. Click on “Access Now” to proceed to the dashboard. Here, you will find the option to create a new AI assistant.

  • Click on the “Add” button to create a new assistant.
  • Give your assistant a name and click “Add” again.
  • Select the instruction type, such as “AI agent” or “customer support agent”.

After selecting the instruction type, you will see basic instructions that can be modified according to your needs. This setup is crucial for the functionality of your WhatsApp AI agent.

3. Configuring AI Settings in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the AI settings for your WhatsApp agent. Start by setting the temperature, which determines the creativity of the AI’s responses. A lower temperature results in focused answers, while a higher temperature yields more creative responses.

For example, you might set the temperature to 0.4 for more focused answers. Additionally, you will need to input your OpenAI API key to connect your assistant with the OpenAI service. Here’s how:

  • Click on the hyperlink to access your OpenAI API key.
  • Create a new secret key and copy it.
  • Paste the key back into Pabbly Connect and click “Connect”.

These settings are vital for ensuring that your AI agent can respond accurately to customer queries on WhatsApp.

4. Finalizing Your WhatsApp AI Agent Settings

After configuring the AI settings, you will finalize your WhatsApp AI agent’s settings. This includes adding header and footer messages, as well as defining stop keywords that will halt the AI’s responses when triggered.

To add a stop keyword, simply type it in and press enter. This will allow your AI assistant to pause and wait for human intervention. Additionally, you can set retry attempts for fallback messages if the AI fails to respond correctly.

  • Specify a fallback message for when the AI does not respond.
  • Upload a knowledge source document in plain text or PDF format.
  • Add your brand name and initial user message.

These configurations will make your WhatsApp AI agent more effective and user-friendly.

5. Assigning Your AI Agent to WhatsApp Chats

Once your AI agent is created, you need to assign it to your WhatsApp chats. This can be done easily through the inbox settings in Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the settings section and look for AI auto-reply settings.

Here, you can select the contact list to which you want to assign the assistant. After choosing the assistant, click on the save button, and your agent will be assigned to all selected contacts in one click.

  • You can also assign the assistant to individual chats by selecting the specific chat.
  • Turn on the assistant button and select the assistant for that chat.

This streamlined process ensures that your WhatsApp AI agent is ready to respond to customer queries effectively.
