After logging into Pabbly Chatflow, navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Flows’ in the sidebar. This is where you will create your chatbot flow. To start, click on the ‘Add Flow’ button to create a new flow for your WhatsApp chatbot.

  • Provide a name for your flow, for example, ‘WhatsApp Chatbot for School Admission Queries’.

Once the trigger is set, you can start designing the welcome message that users will see when they initiate a conversation. Use the ‘Select Text’ button to create this message, and add options for users to choose from, such as admission info, fee structure, and school facilities.


3. Configuring Admission Information in the Chatbot

Next, you will configure the admission information section of your WhatsApp chatbot using Pabbly Chatflow. After the welcome message, create a response that provides users with options related to admission details. Use the ‘Add Button’ feature to create buttons for each option.

  • Create buttons for ‘Admission Process’, ‘Fee Structure’, and ‘School Facilities’.
  • Connect each button to the respective information nodes that you will create next.

For example, if a user selects ‘Admission Process’, provide detailed information about the admission requirements and necessary documents. This structured flow ensures that users receive relevant information efficiently through Pabbly Chatflow.


4. Handling Fee Structure Inquiries

To provide users with information about the fee structure, you will need to create a list in Pabbly Chatflow. This involves dragging and dropping the list option into your flow and filling in the necessary details. The list should include various programs offered by the school.

Add a section title such as ‘Programs’ and list the fee details for each program. Ensure that each program has a corresponding button for users to register or inquire further.

This allows parents to easily navigate through the fee structure and select the program they are interested in. The integration of this feature through Pabbly Chatflow enhances user experience and provides clarity on fee-related queries.

After saving, navigate to the inbox section to test how your chatbot responds to user inquiries. Send a message such as ‘school admission’ to your connected WhatsApp number and observe the automated replies generated by your chatbot. This testing phase is crucial to ensure that the chatbot operates as intended and provides the necessary information to users.
