What personal data can a chatbot collect?

When making a chatbot in the Dashly bot builder platform, you can add input fields for visitors to fill with the necessary info. Thus, during a conversation with potential customers, chatbot can collect for you:

  • Email
  • Name
  • Phone
  • Info that will help you to personalize the offers

All this data automatically goes to the user card with the relevant tag. With information about pages and products they've visited, you have an excellent base for further communication via trigger messages, email campaigns, or phone calls.


What makes the new chatbot builder so cool?

The tree-like structure of the first chatbot version hid the thread content. It was hard to navigate the already designed chatbots. This design method had limited functionality and slowed down using the existing chatbots. The latest chatbot builder update should mitigate these limitations.

You can see all chatbot lines with input fields, buttons, and images right on the builder area. This will enable you to navigate the chatbot structure easily, see its major lines and relations.

Using the new chatbot version, you can also:

  • merge all threads with each other,
  • relate threads to earlier ones,
  • loop threads,
  • relate several buttons to one thread.
Does a chatbot created in Dashly builder support answering questions from my customers?

No, as well as the majority of bot builders, chatbot starts with a trigger you set. It is usually a specific action done by a website visitor on your website. You add it as a trigger event in a chatbot creator. If your prospects start chatting with you, the chatbot will not answer (though we must add it here: this feature of «chatbot as a service» will be supported soon). In other words, the chatbot won't make sales but makes a few steps towards it, e.g., telling the price or redirecting to the price page, or sending a price list.


How to create a chatbot in the Dashly bot builder political platform?

Dashly is a code-free chatbot maker so that you can create and configure your own chatbot just like any auto-message.
Go to "Chatbots" and press "Create a Chatbot":
You'll get into the chatbot builder section.

Conversation start thread
That's when user engagement and qualification set off. When chatbot starts a conversation, a user will see the thread content. Click on the thread if you want to edit it. You'll see available actions and settings in the right-hand menu.

Content
You don't need programming skills to create your own content in the chatbot builder. A simple visual chatbot creator is enough to actualize your boldest campaign ideas. You can move threads and resize them.

When you decide to create and configure your own chatbot, you'll see a suggestion that you can base your campaign on. Later on, you'll be able to edit it, of course:

What else can I do using the new chatbot builder?

Proactively address frequently asked questions
Chatbot can suggest several topics to a customer. When they get an answer to one question, they can return to the beginning and choose another topic.

In a chat bot creator, you can set up various options in chatbot: make an appointment, read a blog post, or sign up. Please consider the return opportunity. Users may have questions after reading an article, so let them take a step back and schedule a consultation.

Tailor products to customer objectives
Can anything be better than products tailored to customers? Make your chatbot know more about a user. Chatbot will ask questions about key attributes and then suggest relevant products.

The choice is not always easy. Let your customers complete a survey again, see other options, or schedule a consultation. The new chatbot builder version helps you create these loops easily.
