Customers message you at 11 pm, on Sundays, and during your busiest hour. If they wait too long for a reply, they buy elsewhere. A WhatsApp chatbot flow answers instantly, every time, and hands the conversation to your team only when a human is really needed.

Zapwa's Flow Builder lets you design these conversations visually, by dragging and connecting blocks. No code required.

What you can automate

  • Welcome menus: "Reply 1 for pricing, 2 for store timings, 3 to talk to us"
  • FAQs: delivery charges, return policy, store address, fees
  • Lead qualification: ask for name, city, budget or requirement, then save it to the contact
  • Appointment and demo booking
  • Catalogue and brochure sharing: send images, PDFs and videos automatically
  • Human handoff: pause the bot and assign the chat to an agent

How a flow is built

1. Choose a trigger

A flow starts when something happens: a customer sends a keyword like "price", sends their first message, or taps a button on one of your templates.

2. Add steps

Connect blocks such as:

  • Send message: text, images, documents or buttons
  • Menu: let the customer pick an option and branch on the answer
  • Ask a question: capture a reply and store it in a contact field
  • Condition: branch on tags or saved answers
  • Delay: wait before the next step
  • Handoff: hand the chat to your team and pause the bot

3. Test before going live

Use the built-in simulator to walk through your flow exactly as a customer would, before a single real customer sees it.

4. Publish and measure

Turn the flow on and watch how many customers reach each step, where they drop off, and which answers they choose.

Tips for a flow customers enjoy

  1. Keep messages short. One idea per message.
  2. Use buttons instead of asking people to type.
  3. Always offer a way to reach a human.
  4. Do not over-automate sales. Let the bot qualify, then let your team close.

Bot and team, working together

When the bot hands over, the conversation appears in Zapwa's shared inbox with everything the customer already answered, so your agent never asks the same question twice.
