Step 2: Understand the Flow Builder
The Flow Builder is where you design the conversation.
- Blocks are on the left side
- The conversation flow is built in the center
- You connect blocks to control how the chat behaves
You build conversations by dragging blocks onto the canvas and connecting them.

Step 3: Add your first message
- Drag a Message block onto the canvas.
- Write a welcome message, for example:
Hi! 👋 How can I help you today?
This is the first thing users will see.

Step 4: Ask a question and collect input
- Add a Question block after the message.
- Ask something simple, like:
What is your name?
- Save the answer as a variable, for example:
name
This allows you to reuse the answer later.

Step 5: Use the variable in a reply
- Add another Message block.
- Use the variable like this:
Nice to meet you, {{name}}!
Variables make conversations feel personal.

Step 6: Add options (optional)
To guide users, you can offer buttons they can click.
- Add a Multi-Choice block.
- Create options such as:
- Ask a question
- Learn about pricing
- Contact support
Each option can lead to a different path in the flow.

Step 7: Test your bot
- Use the Preview to test the conversation.
- Check that messages, questions, and variables work correctly.
- Adjust the flow until it feels natural.

Step 8: Save and publish
Once you’re happy:
- Save your bot
- Install it on your website (or keep testing in preview mode)
You’ve just created your first chatbot 🎉
