3. Creating Chatbot Flows in Pabbly Chatflow

Creating flows in Pabbly Chatflow allows you to design how your chatbot will interact with users. Start by selecting the ‘Flows’ option from the dashboard. Here, you can add a new flow for your travel agency chatbot.

In the flow builder, define the trigger event that will initiate the chatbot. For instance, you can set the trigger to activate when a user sends a specific keyword like “travel”. This keyword will prompt the chatbot to respond with a welcome message and begin the inquiry process.

Once the chatbot is set up, it’s time to collect user information. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in storing the data. As users interact with the chatbot, their responses will be captured and sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.

To do this, you will need to add an API request within your flow. This step involves configuring the API to send user responses directly to your Pabbly Connect account. Ensure you set the request type to POST and provide the necessary webhook URL from your Pabbly Connect dashboard.

  • Open your Pabbly Connect account and create a new workflow.
  • Copy the webhook URL provided.
  • Paste the webhook URL into the API request settings in Pabbly Chatflow.

With this setup, every response collected by your chatbot will be sent to Pabbly Connect, allowing you to manage and analyze customer data efficiently.

5. Finalizing Your Integration and Testing

After configuring the API request, finalize your integration by ensuring all connections are properly established. In Pabbly Connect, save the workflow and test the chatbot to verify that it functions correctly.

To test the setup, send the trigger keyword through your WhatsApp account. The chatbot should respond with a welcome message and proceed to collect the necessary travel details. If everything works as expected, your integration is complete.

  • Send the trigger keyword to your WhatsApp chatbot.
  • Observe the chatbot’s response and ensure it collects user data.
  • Check Pabbly Connect to confirm data has been recorded.

With successful testing, you can now utilize your WhatsApp chatbot to enhance customer experience and streamline travel inquiries using Pabbly Connect and Pabbly Chatflow.
