Creating your first Chatbot
To start with the first chatbot we can create a sample Lead Generation Chatbot. A Lead Generation Chatbot is used to collect basic customer information of the customer. This information can be used later for different purposes like contacting customers for sales/enquiries. In this example, the chatbot will
- Greet the customer with a Welcome Message
- Collect the Customer basic information – Name, Mobile Number & Email Id.
- Make a service call to an API to generate a lead that is sent to the system via E-mail or CRM.
- A Thank you message will be shown.
