Chatbots

With Rasayel Chatbots, you can streamline responding to frequently asked questions you receive on WhatsApp. This can significantly enhance your ability to assist customers promptly and effectively while freeing up valuable time for your support team to address more intricate inquiries.

Important to know

We have 2 types of bots, proactive and reactive.

Proactive bots are those that initiate actions or conversations without waiting for a user's input. They use pre-programmed rules to engage with users, offering assistance or information before being asked. An example might include a customer service bot that reaches out with a special offer or reminder.

In contrast, reactive bots wait for a user's input or command before taking action. They respond to direct queries or instructions, such as answering a specific question or performing a task when prompted.

On your Rasayel dashboard, choose Bots → Create a bot → Select “Receive message.”

First, fill in the Trigger information: select the relevant channel (i.e., your WhatsApp number), and add a condition, for example, “Contains specific keywords.” You can add multiple keywords that trigger the bot.

You can add a second condition, for example, “Contains specific data attributes.”

Once you create the trigger, a new window will open, and you can start building your chatbot flow.

You can put your chatbot nodes anywhere you like. You can link them back to previous nodes, too. This will make you more flexible when designing your chatbot experience – from mapping the flow to nailing the details.

Next, compose your first message, add buttons by switching the Buttons toggle and type your buttons’ names:

Afterward, you can choose what happens if your customer presses one of these buttons. In this example, we have two buttons: Yes and No. If a customer presses Yes, the bot will send them the below message and connect them to an agent on Rasayel (by switching the Connect to an agent toggle).

And if a customer presses No, we will set up the bot to send them a different message and close this conversation on Rasayel (by switching the Close conversation toggle).

To end a chatbot flow you’d need to toggle one of the following options:

After adding all the steps, you can review your flow. And if you’re happy with it, press Set Live. From that point forward, the flow you've set up will be activated whenever a new WhatsApp conversation begins. This means bot responses will be automatically triggered.

The bot can initiate conversations proactively. This can be achieved through pre-designed templates within campaigns, individually via the inbox, or programmatically using our API, making the process of lead conversion and qualification faster and more efficient.

You can create more accurate flows by adding conditions to specify who can see particular parts of it by dragging a "condition node" onto your canvas.

Here are some examples of how our team will be using it:

The HTTP Request feature enhances the customization options of a typical webhook. It lets you designate a specific URL from which data can be fetched or compiled. This proves particularly useful if you're employing your own software solutions, such as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, as it allows you to extract and leverage data from that source.

The Customer input feature allows you to create nodes that can pull specific customer data and use this information as a variable in subsequent text nodes. For instance, you could configure a node to request a customer's unique identification number. Once the customer provides valid information, the system then stores it. Subsequently, you can use an HTTP Request to cross-verify if the provided identification number corresponds to an existing entry in your database.

What triggers are currently supported

You can undo previous actions in your chatbot flow. You can quickly correct errors and save time when building your chatbot conversation structure.

All conversations with a Bot will be created in a separate Rasayel folder - Chatbot.

You can move conversations to your main Inbox folder at any time. The bot is designed to get out of your way whenever you want to take a conversation over.

Automatic redirection to an agent occurs in the following situations during a conversation:
