To effectively automate the customer service process in Bitrix24, you can set up a chatbot at specific stages of the sales funnel. Follow these steps for customization:
Last updated
Open Bitrix24 and select the “Deals” or “Leads” section depending on where you want to set up the chatbot.
Click on the “Automation Rules” button
Find the right stage of the sales funnel where you want to customize chatbot actions
Under the stage name, click the “+ Add” button
Select “Other” and then a communication channel with the name: [WhatsApp by Whatcrm] [whatcrm] WhatsApp
Set up the conditions you need for the bot to be triggered
In the robot settings, select the desired Open Line. Messages will be sent from the phone number that is bound to this line. This allows you to manage sending messages through the right number by simply selecting the appropriate Open Line.
Adding files to a message (optional) Now you can attach files directly in the robot parameters:
Click the “Upload file icon” button.
Select the desired file from your computer disk. It can be an image, PDF catalog, document, etc.
The file will be automatically attached to the post without the need to generate a direct link.
💡 Please note: file sending may be subject to tariff-dependent restrictions. Please check the file restrictions.
Pay attention to the phone number type specified in the robot settings.
If one phone number type is specified in the contact/lead/transaction card (e.g. Work) and another is selected in the robot parameters (e.g. Mobile), the message will not be sent.
Make sure that the phone type selected in the robot matches the one specified by the customer.
Buttons allow the customer to quickly select the desired answer option directly in WhatsApp. They are displayed as a poll.
Minimum 2 buttons, maximum 6 - WhatsApp doesn't support sending a single button.
You can send only text + buttons - if you add a picture or file, they will be sent in a separate message.
Only available on Pro plan and higher - on Start plan only text without buttons will be sent.
In the “Buttons” field, enter the desired response options (e.g., “Order”, “Specify price”).
Add a minimum of 2 options, but no more than 6.
Save the changes and test the submission.
It's a great way to speed up communication and make it easier for the customer to choose the right action! 🚀
