How to use the bot to sell more.
If you run an online store, your bot should do three things:
- Answer product questions before the customer leaves.
- Recommend products based on what they ask about.
- Capture emails for follow-up — especially for visitors who don't buy.
Best setup for a store
- Mode: Flow Builder + AI Assistant block (so you can collect emails before letting the AI take over).
- Knowledge Source: Direct Prompt with your full catalog, prices, shipping rules, return policy, and FAQ.
- Integrations: Klaviyo (via Make.com) for cart abandonment emails. Google Sheets as a backup log.
- Domain whitelist: Your shop domain.
What to feed your bot
Open AI Knowledge Studio → Direct Prompt and add:
- Store description (one paragraph: what you sell, who you sell to, what makes you special).
- Contact email and phone.
- Shipping: where you ship, how long it takes, free shipping rules.
- Returns: how many days, what items can't be returned, how the process works.
- Payment methods.
- Current campaigns (update monthly!).
- Bestsellers: top 3–5 products with names, prices, and links.
- Full catalog (or as much as fits) with names, prices, descriptions, and links.
- FAQ: at least 5 common questions and answers.
Avoid these mistakes
- Old campaigns left in the prompt — the bot will mention a sale that ended. Worse than no offer at all.
- Made-up product URLs — the bot must only use links you provide. Never let it guess.
- No fallback for "I don't know" — tell the bot what to say when it doesn't have an answer (e.g. "Please email support@yourstore.com").
