3. Creating Your WhatsApp Chatbot Flow with Pabbly Connect

Now, let’s create the flow for your WhatsApp chatbot using Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting the option for ‘Trigger’, which initiates the chatbot. For this setup, use a keyword trigger such as ‘hello’ to start the conversation.

Next, you will set a welcome message that your customers will receive when they send the trigger keyword. This message can include buttons, such as ‘View Rooms’, that allow users to interact with your chatbot. This is how you can set it up:

  • Create a text button node for the welcome message.
  • Add a button labeled ‘View Rooms’ to the message.

By utilizing Pabbly Connect, you can easily manage the flow of messages and actions based on user responses, ensuring a smooth interaction.

4. Configuring Room Options in Your Chatbot

Once the welcome message is set, the next step involves configuring the room options that your customers can choose from. This can be done by adding a list node that displays different room types available in your hotel.

To do this, you will need to:

  • Create a section titled ‘Room Types’ in the list node.
  • Add items for each room type, such as ‘Deluxe Room’, ‘Standard Room’, etc.

By using Pabbly Connect, you can also set custom fields for each room type, allowing you to capture user selections effectively. This feature ensures that you can provide personalized responses based on user choices.

5. Finalizing Booking Questions and Confirmation

After users select a room type, it’s essential to gather their booking details. This can be achieved by asking questions such as the user’s full name, check-in date, and number of guests. Use the ‘Ask Question’ node to facilitate this interaction.

For each booking question, ensure you set the corresponding contact custom fields to capture the user’s responses. For example, you can ask:

  • What is your full name?
  • What is your check-in date?
  • How many guests will be staying?

Finally, use Pabbly Connect to send a confirmation message once all details are collected, ensuring a smooth booking experience for your customers.
