Step 1: Plan Your Conversation Flow
Before building, map out the most common customer journeys. What are the top 5 questions your customers ask? What actions do you want them to take? Draw a simple flowchart on paper first. This makes the building process 10x faster.
Step 2: Open the Foxwapp Flow Builder
Log into your Foxwapp dashboard and navigate to Automation > Flow Builder. You will see a drag-and-drop canvas where you can add nodes for messages, conditions, and actions. Start with a Welcome Message node — this is what customers see when they first message your number.
Step 3: Add Quick Reply Buttons
Add Quick Reply buttons to your welcome message — for example: 'View Pricing', 'Book a Demo', 'Talk to Support', 'Learn More'. Each button leads to a different branch of your conversation flow. Quick Reply buttons make it easy for customers to navigate without typing.
Step 4: Build Each Branch
For each button, build the corresponding conversation branch. The 'View Pricing' branch might show your pricing plans and ask which plan interests them. The 'Book a Demo' branch might collect their name, email, and preferred time slot. Keep each branch focused and short — 3 to 5 messages maximum.
Step 5: Add Conditions and Variables
Use condition nodes to personalize the flow based on customer responses. If a customer says their budget is above ₹5,000, route them to the Pro plan branch. If below, route them to the Starter plan. Variables let you save customer inputs — like their name or phone number — and use them in later messages.
Step 6: Set Up Human Handoff
Always include a 'Talk to a Human' option in your chatbot. When a customer selects this, the conversation is transferred to your team's shared inbox with a notification. The agent can see the full conversation history and pick up seamlessly.
Step 7: Test and Publish
Use Foxwapp's test mode to simulate the chatbot conversation on your own phone before going live. Check every branch, every button, and every condition. Once satisfied, publish the flow and it goes live instantly on your WhatsApp number.
