3. Configuring AI Settings in Pabbly Chatflow

In this section, you will configure specific settings for your Pabbly Chatflow AI Assistant. Start with the AI instructions, where you can provide details about the audience, purpose, and style of responses. This customization helps the AI understand how to interact with customers effectively.

Next, set the temperature for creativity in responses. A value of 0.5 balances focus and creativity. Choose the OpenAI model for your assistant, such as GPT-5.2, and enter your API key after creating it on the OpenAI platform. This key is crucial for your AI to function correctly.

To enhance your AI Assistant’s capabilities, upload a knowledge base file containing relevant information about your business. In Pabbly Chatflow, you can upload files in PDF or plain text format, ensuring they do not exceed 90 MB in size.

Once your knowledge base is prepared, drag and drop the file into the designated area in Pabbly Chatflow. This allows the AI Assistant to access important details, such as FAQs and company background, which are essential for generating accurate replies to customer queries.

After uploading the knowledge base, move on to configuring the assistant interface. Customize the display name, initial messages, and footer text to align with your brand’s identity. This personalization ensures that customers feel more connected to your AI Assistant.


5. Testing Your WhatsApp AI Sales Assistant

Once your Pabbly Chatflow AI Assistant is set up, it’s time to test its functionality. Create a WhatsApp chatbot by defining trigger keywords such as ‘sales’ and ‘pricing’. This step ensures that the AI Assistant activates when customers use these keywords.

To create the flow, navigate to the flows section and add a new flow. Name it appropriately, and ensure that the trigger event is set to match the keywords you specified. Connect the AI Assistant to this flow, enabling it to respond when customers send messages containing the specified keywords.

Test the assistant by sending trigger keywords via WhatsApp. Verify that the assistant responds with accurate information. Make adjustments as necessary based on test results.

By conducting thorough tests, you can ensure that your Pabbly Chatflow AI Assistant is fully functional and ready to assist customers with their inquiries effectively.
