Demos
One bakery's bot, in six moments, played the way they arrive on a phone.
Every conversation below is a real bot document rendered by the same code that draws the preview inside Bot Studio. If the engine changes how a message is sent, these change with it.
A greeting and a menu
Three options fit on three buttons, under the message rather than inside it.
- They send “hi”
- GreetingMessage
- Main menuMenu
- They send “Track an order”
- Order numberQuestion
More than three options
This is the one that surprises people. WhatsApp allows three buttons, so a fourth option turns the whole menu into a list behind one row, and your options are a tap away instead of on the screen. Write menus of three where the choice matters.
- They send “Place an order”
- Today's cakesMenu
An answer the bot keeps
- Order numberQuestion
- They send “SB-1042”
- Where the order isMessage
A form in the chat
Three questions on one screen instead of three turns. Forms has the rest.
- Delivery detailsForm
- They send “Delivery details sent”
- Got the addressMessage
From cart to order
- They send “That is everything”
- Place the orderFunction
- Order confirmedMessage
Asking for a person
The bot stops, and the conversation arrives in your team's inbox. It stays quiet until whoever picked it up is finished.
- They send “Can I talk to someone?”
- Pass to the teamFunction
