WhatsApp chatbot

A WhatsApp chatbot that answers while you sleep

Build your WhatsApp chatbot visually: a keyword starts it, a menu with buttons guides the customer, and every button brings the right answer. Add AI that answers from your own content, and hand the chat to your team when a person is needed.

What a WhatsApp chatbot does for your business

Answers the same questions

Prices, location, opening hours and delivery areas, answered in a second, day and night.

Collects leads and bookings

Ask questions step by step or use a native WhatsApp form, and keep the answers on the contact.

Sends chats to the right person

When a customer needs a person, the chat goes to the right agent with the whole conversation.

Build it in 4 steps

  1. Create a flow. Open Flows, click Create flow and open the Flow maker.

  2. Choose the trigger. Pick the keyword your customer sends. Exact match means only that word starts it.

  3. Build the menu. Add a message with buttons, then give every button its own reply.

  4. Test it on WhatsApp. Flows are on as soon as you save. Send the keyword and the menu arrives.

Three ways a chat can start

  • Keyword: a word your customer sends, such as “menu” or “prices”.
  • On Message: the flow answers any message, for example after hours.
  • From an Ad: people who click your Click-to-WhatsApp ad get the flow made for that ad.

Everything you can put in a flow

  • Messages with buttons and lists for menus and choices.
  • Images, videos, documents and approved templates.
  • Questions and variables: save the customer’s answers and reuse them later in the chat.
  • Conditions to answer differently depending on what the customer chose.
  • WhatsApp Flows forms to collect leads, bookings or order details inside WhatsApp.
  • Inactivity follow-ups when a customer stops answering.
  • API calls to your own systems for order status, stock or CRM data.
  • Product search and ordering from your WooCommerce or Shopify store.

Add AI that answers from your own content

Give the AI step a brain: a page from your website, PDF, Word or text files, your FAQs and a short description of your business. It answers customer questions from that content and detects what the customer wants, right inside Salti Marketing, with no extra tools to connect.

The AI uses your own AI key, so you pay the AI provider directly, with nothing added by us.

A person is always one tap away

Customers can type “Talk to a human”, or your own phrase, to pause the bot and reach your team. A flow can also assign the chat to a team member with the Assign to Agent step. Your team answers from the shared inbox in the browser or from the Android app, with the whole conversation in front of them.

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You build the chatbot by dragging boxes onto a canvas and connecting them. The video on this page shows a complete chatbot built in under 3 minutes.

Does the chatbot work in Arabic?

Yes. Write the messages and buttons in Arabic, English, French or any language WhatsApp supports, and give the AI your content in the languages your customers use.

Will the AI say things I did not approve?

The AI answers from the sources you give it: a page from your website, PDF, Word or text files and your FAQs. A customer can always type “Talk to a human”, and you can switch AI replies off for any contact.

What starts the chatbot?

A keyword the customer sends, any incoming message, or a click on one of your Click-to-WhatsApp ads, so each ad can start its own flow.

Is the chatbot included in the plan?

Yes. The flow builder and the AI agent are part of every plan. AI usage goes on your own AI key, so you pay the AI provider directly. Meta’s message fees are billed by Meta to your own account.

Is it on the official WhatsApp Business API?

Yes. Your number is connected to Meta’s official WhatsApp Cloud API in a live setup session with our team, so there is no risk from unofficial bots.
