5 ways to automate ChatBot with Zapier

These days most websites have a chatbot available to answer questions. As a consumer, it’s a streamlined, efficient way to quickly get the answers you need and can be much more convenient than navigating a bunch of help docs. 

But as a business, it’s hard to scale if you manually respond to every chatbot message. Plus, for the best chatbot experience, someone has to be online 24/7. Enter ChatBot. ChatBot uses AI to instantly direct users to the right resource, allowing businesses to respond quickly without manually answering every inquiry. 

When you pair ChatBot with Zapier, you can scale your chatbot processes—maximizing efficiency and ROI.

Send ChatBot messages to your customer support tool

To maintain the accuracy of your customer support tool, you need to keep track of all the customer inquiries that come in—no matter where the question comes from. Instead of manually adding customer support outreach from multiple sources, you can use automation to send it to the right place instantly.

Create a Zap that instantly sends ChatBot messages to your customer support tool. That way, if the question requires a manual response, your support team sees the inquiry in the right app and can respond quickly. Plus, you can gather insights into what questions your customers keep asking, so you can better train your ChatBot.

Get notifications about new messages

If you don’t get notifications about new ChatBot messages, you can miss out on customer insights—or worse, miss out on messages that need a manual response. This causes a bad customer experience and leads to lost sales. 

With Zapier, you can connect your team chat app or email to ChatBot and receive real-time alerts whenever a new message is received. Now, you’ll get notifications in the app where you’ll actually see it—ensuring you can respond promptly.

Add new ChatBot leads to the right tool

Enriched lead information means more personalized outreach—which leads to more conversions. However, as you bring in more leads, it’s impossible to scale manual data entry. There’s just too much information to enter by hand. 

Seamlessly track lead data by creating a Zap that adds a lead or note in your CRM when you get a new ChatBot message. Say hello to a CRM filled with accurate, up-to-date lead information. 

You can also use Zapier to automatically add new ChatBot leads to your email marketing tool. Automatically adding new ChatBot leads to your email lists enables you to nurture leads through targeted email campaigns instantly—increasing engagement and conversions.

Streamline task management

Do you use project management tools to organize your team’s to-do list? If so, you can simplify task management by automatically sending new tasks that come through ChatBot to your task management tool. 

This helps keep your team organized and ensures accountability. By streamlining your task management process, you gain back time to focus on actually getting the task done instead of organizing it. 

Keep track of ChatBot analytics 

Data is the key to improving your chatbot’s performance. Automating analytics tracking lets you gather valuable insights into user interactions, conversation flows, and customer satisfaction. 

Create a Zap that connects your analytics or tracking tool with ChatBot—enabling you to measure success, identify areas for improvement, and refine your ChatBot strategy.
