2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Chatbot
To begin, access Pabbly Connect and create a new workflow. This workflow will facilitate the connection between WhatsApp and the chatbot. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account.
Once logged in, follow these steps to set up your workflow:

Next, we will use Pabbly Chatflow to design the chatbot interactions. This tool allows you to create engaging conversation flows for WhatsApp users.
In Pabbly Chatflow, follow these steps to create your chatbot:
- Drag and drop the text message block to send a welcome message.
- Add buttons for options like “Account Opening” and “Ask Question”.

Each button should lead to a specific flow, and you can set up additional questions to gather information like the user’s name and city.
4. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Here’s how to set it up:
- In Pabbly Connect, create an API request to Google Sheets.
- Use the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect to connect your chatbot flow.
- Map the data fields to corresponding columns in your Google Sheet.
This integration allows you to keep track of all account opening requests and customer inquiries efficiently.
