What is the initial setup process for integrating ChatBot with SMS by Zapier?
To integrate ChatBot with SMS by Zapier, begin by connecting your ChatBot account with Zapier. Next, set up a Zap where you choose ChatBot as the trigger app and select an event such as 'New Message'. Then, choose SMS by Zapier as the action app and configure how you'd like messages to be sent, including setting up the recipient's phone number.
How can I send automated responses from ChatBot to SMS?
Once your ChatBot is connected to Zapier, you can create a new Zap that triggers on specific chat interactions. For example, use 'New Intent Detected' in ChatBot as your trigger and set SMS by Zapier as the action to automatically send a pre-defined text message to a specified number.
Is it possible to personalize SMS messages sent through this integration?
Yes, you can personalize messages by using dynamic fields provided in the trigger data from ChatBot. Simply map these fields in the 'Customize Message' section of your SMS action setup in Zapier. This allows for personalized greetings or information tailored to each chat interaction.
What are some common triggers available when integrating ChatBot with SMS via Zapier?
Common triggers include 'New Message', which fires whenever a new message is received via ChatBot, or 'New Intent Detected', triggering actions based on specified intents within conversations.
Can I receive alerts via SMS for specific events in ChatBot?
Absolutely. By setting a trigger such as 'New Interaction' in your chatbot conversations, you can connect it with an SMS alert using Zapier. This way, you'll receive immediate text notifications whenever certain conditions or events are met in your chatbot.
Are there any limitations on the number of messages that can be processed through this integration?
While we don't impose strict limits on message counts within our systems, limitations might exist depending on your current plan with either us or your telecom provider regarding the volume of messages sent through SMS.
What should I do if my messages are not being delivered via SMS after setting up the integration?
First, verify that all connection configurations between ChatBot and Zapier are correct. Check for errors within the specific zaps you have configured.
