Step-by-Step Guide to Building a WhatsApp Chatbot
Define Your Chatbot's Purpose
Before building, decide what your chatbot will handle: customer support, lead generation, appointment booking, order management, or a combination.
Map Out Conversation Flows
Sketch the conversation paths your chatbot will follow. Include greeting messages, menu options, response branches, and fallback handling.
