Easiest Way to Connect AI Chatbots to WhatsApp

[@daveebbelaar]

👉🏻 You can try Botpress here: try.botpress.com/09b4u0dn0b86

[@user-jh6gz1wc3d]

not possible to publish the bot, always time out... :(

[@aimattant]

That is just in development mode. You need to switch it to live. Then as of this year, you need to have a registered business to get it working. Data security and privacy. Many people are unable to use chatbots because of this on their business page. If I am wrong and you know a workaround for this - let me know.

Thanks to you I was able to set it up! Finally a video that explains it all as needed! Well done!

[@orjiemmanuel1418]

Hi Dave, you have an amazing video right here. Please I was looking to see if your video will cover fetching data through an API when a question is asked about a product for an ecommerce application but didn't see that. I will appreciate if I get some of those guidelines too. Thank you

[@Botpress]

Great video, Dave!🔥

[@diegoromanos]

This is the best tutorial I've seen in a while 👌

[@weizmannsuco]

Great video Dave... Thank you for sharing !!!

[@dalepurdon8948]

Awesome vid! I tried it out and so far so good. I noticed though with multiple choice that if there are more then 2 or 3 choices it comes out on the client side as a little 'Choose..' button which needs to be clicked first before getting presented with all options. Can we avoid this step and just display the full menu to the client without then having to first click 'Choose..' ? Other bot tools do it in this way. The extra click seems unnecessary? Thanks again!

[@ManikandanRamadoss-u2c]

Hi Brother, This is very much clear and do by anyone easyway , it was amazing Thanks Bro... 🙏

[@robertohidaka5897]

Awesome explanation, Dave!!! How about making a video with calendly. It would be great!!

[@mohanedalnaeeme8737]

Can you please do the same for Voiceflow. Many people moved over from Botpress to voiceflow and a video like that would help many out there.

[@vikramn2190]

Awesome. video. Super helpful. Thank you!

[@amosmilimu4947]

This was amazing thank you

[@ecaminhan]

Hi Dave! Great video. I've tried this method but in the end the whatsapp bot doesn't respond. I've gone trough all of these steps perfectly. Did you face any trouble with this integration so far?

[@zeddkhan03]

Try making another bot using start from scratch template & set up the WhatsApp API again. I was facing the same issue because of using learn botpress template as it was my first bot.. This worked for me.

[@ecaminhan]

Hello! Can Botpress chatbot recognize images sent by users in WhatsApp? Thanks very much!

[@chewteelim6020]

Hi Dave, can you share the link to the documentation on how to setup the permanent token?

[@rodrigomonteiro2524]

Nice! To connect my whatsapp to it I need to disconnect from my phone. How can I send messages to the clients, too?

[@claudioooliveira]

Fantastic!!

[@DavidBunn-hd6mn]

Hi Dave, would you mind sharing what tool you used to create the onscreen graphic of the phone with the WhatsApp conversation?

[@epicmedia179]

awesome video" got subscribe at once

[@enihowrazer]

Good job 👍, can you show one Instagram, there's is no video on KZbin for that 🙏

[@DigitalSapiens]

What if I want each client to be able to interact with the bot, but the bot only provides information about their own project? That is, each client could ask about their project as if they were asking me, but one client could not access another client's information.

[@mickbutler9105]

From which number are the messages being send? Can I also use my own phone, so if the user sends "Talk to a human" I will get notified and take over the conversation?

[@TheMilleTV]

Hi Dave, does this chabot need to use botpress or can be used without botpress?

[@daveebbelaar]

This one is depended on Botpress. I also have a video where eI do a complete open-source WhatsApp chatbot.

[@TheMilleTV]

@@daveebbelaar Hey Dave, Need Help!! I created a chatbot for my client's car dealership business, designed for both the website and WhatsApp. In the system, users can choose to contact a specific employee, and their details along with the question are sent to a Slack Channel where the employees are accessible (which I've already implemented). However, I'm struggling to establish a system where employees can respond in Slack, and the replies are then displayed to the user in their chatbot on either WhatsApp or the website. I appreciate any assistance you can provide!

[@loyisosomacele3248]

How can I solve this "answer found in knowledge base - inspect." I am not getting the actual answer from the chatbot instead I get the above message.

Hi could you set this up for us please 🤔🙏

[@LearnWithoutSchool]

Hey, Will you please please tell me how can i enable human interaction in my chatbot ? My Client has a car dealership business and I built a chatbot for whatsapp and instagram using botpress where customers can select any car to buy. He has several employees and I want that whenever chatbot user clicks on the button that he is interested in a car, and one of the employees gets notified and then my employee can continue the chat in the bot.

[@LearnWithoutSchool]

Will Anyone please tell me what to do?

[@_rd_kocaman]

@@LearnWithoutSchool checkout botpress' page, they have many tutorials on these actions

[@og_bhaiyu]

Did you find out?

[@LearnWithoutSchool]

@@og_bhaiyu Not yet! I am just able to notify the employees in the Slack channel. But still, I don't know how to make a system where one of the employees replies from Slack and it shows to the user in the chatbot. I appreciate assistance from anyone!

Hi Dave, How can I rename the bot to Air BNB bot?
