Overview

The Complete chatbot: menu, Q&A, CRM deal & tasks template ships an end-to-end, production-ready automated assistant that adapts itself to the channel the conversation runs on:

  • On channels with interactive messages (WhatsApp, web chat, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram and API), the menu renders as buttons.
  • On text-only channels (email, SMS), the same menu automatically becomes a numbered list β€” and the contact can reply with the number ("2"), the option text or by tapping the button: every form works.

All the content (messages, buttons and even the understanding keywords) is created in your account's language β€” English, Portuguese or Spanish.

Prerequisites

  • Flow Builder enabled and Admin permission to edit and publish.
  • CRM and Tasks enabled to run every path in the template.
  • A configured inbox and a team with an eligible agent for human handoff.

Step by step

  1. Open Flows β†’ Templates and choose Complete chatbot.
  2. Apply it and review the messages, keywords and default CRM pipeline.
  3. Check lead_name, lead_email, lead_need, lead_valor and duvida in the data panel.
  4. Use Run test with a test conversation and exercise sales, support and handoff.
  5. Publish and attach the flow to inboxes only after every output has been validated.

Settings & options

  1. Initial menu with three paths: Quotes and sales Β· Support and questions Β· Talk to an agent.
  2. Sales trail β€” asks for the name, the email (validated), the need and the budget in mind (numbers only). With the answers it:
    • creates a CRM deal (default pipeline) titled "Opportunity β€” {name}", with the quoted value and high priority;
    • logs a note on the deal with every mapped answer;
    • opens a task "Send the quote to {name}" due in 1 day;
    • confirms to the contact and hands off to a human.
  3. Support trail β€” asks the question and auto-answers pricing and opening-hours FAQs; anything else becomes a task and goes to an agent.
  4. Human agent β€” option 3 transfers straight away, any time.
  5. No valid reply β€” after 2 guided retries the contact is routed to a human (never stuck).

Use cases

  • Lead qualification with a deal, note and follow-up task.
  • Support triage with quick answers and escalation for unmatched questions.
  • One omnichannel menu for WhatsApp, web chat, email and SMS.

Tips, limits & best practices

  • Buttons and numbered lists share the same items: editing the menu once updates the behavior on every channel.
  • FAQ answers match keywords in the account language (e.g. "pricing", "cost") β€” add your own on the condition nodes.
  • The quoted value lands on the deal in major units (4900 = $4,900.00).
  • Interactive controls depend on the channel's proven capability; always configure the text fallback.

Troubleshooting

  • If an action is skipped, inspect the trace and confirm CRM/Tasks are enabled and the target exists.
  • If handoff fails, confirm the team belongs to the account and has an eligible inbox member.
  • If a reply does not match, review the wait node's input type, options and retry limit.
