Building a WhatsApp Chatbot for Your Business
WhatsApp is where your customers already are. A chatbot can answer them instantly, any time of day.
Most Kenyan businesses receive the same questions on WhatsApp every day. A chatbot can handle these instantly and free your team for conversations that need a human touch.
What a chatbot can handle
- Prices, opening hours and location
- Order and booking status
- Product availability
- Collecting details before a call back
Start with real questions
Scroll through your recent chats and list the questions you answer most. These become the foundation of your chatbot.
“A good chatbot knows when to step aside and let a person take over.”
Keep a human in the loop
Customers should always be able to reach a person. Make the handover simple and let the team see the conversation so far.
Pro tip
Let the chatbot introduce itself as an assistant. Honesty builds trust.
Improve over time
Review conversations regularly, spot questions the bot struggled with and update its answers.
