- Step 1:
Segment
Choose what best describes the business (services, retail, professional, food service, or one of the featured segments). The agent starts out with the tone and context of your industry. If you can’t find yours, choose "Other".
- Step 2:
Teams
Turn on the teams you want to use now: Support, Sales, Marketing, and Operations.
- Step 3:
How Support responds
- AI Agent (recommended): understands what the customer writes and replies using the company’s knowledge base.
- AI with menu: starts with an options menu and the AI takes over when the customer goes off script.
- Menu only, no AI: numbered options (1, 2, 3) to route the customer to the right department.
- Step 4:
Test
Talk to the agent the way a customer would. This is a test environment: nothing appears in real conversations.
- Step 5:
Channel
Connect WhatsApp using the QR Code (see chapter 4). The other channels are in Settings.
- Step 6:
People
Invite the people who monitor the AI, approve, and take over conversations. You can skip this and do it later.
- Step 7:
Done
