5. Add routing rules to trigger the WhatsApp concierge bot

You will need to add two different routing rules. The first is for returning visitors, so they don't get the bot again if they come back later, and the second is for new contacts. 

The screenshots below show you how to add the routing rules.

  • Routing rule for returning contact:
  • Routing rule for new contacts:

6. Move routing rules in the right order

Routing rules are triggered in order from top to bottom, so you need to move the routing rules of step 4 from the bottom of the list to the right place. Most of the time you need to move it to the top of the list, depending on what needs to be triggered first. Put the routing rule for returning contacts above the one for new contacts. See video below how you can do that:

Optional steps

1. Create your own Sales Match Sentence to directly route chats via CTA WhatsApp buttons

It is possible to create your own Sales Match Sentence and add this to a WhatsApp call-to-action button. See example below.

Hello, I have a question about this.*().*with license plate.*at Demo Dealer in ().*

You can use a `.*` in sentences if you want to match everything.

With this sentence installed, if someone starts a chat with the sentence below it will be routed directly to the team inbox of Mercedes Amsterdam.

Hello, I have a question about this used Mercedes-Benz with licence plate AA-123-B at Demo Dealer Amsterdam. This car is posted on URL: https://www.web1on1.chat/en/vdp-example-page/

 Example sentences

English: Hello, I have a question about this used.*() with license plate.*at Demo Dealer in ().*

Dutch: Hallo, ik heb een vraag over deze gebruikte.*() met kenteken.*bij Demo Dealer in ().*

German: Hallo, ich habe eine Frage zu diesem.*() mit der Registrierungsnummer.*bei Demo Dealer in ().*

French: Bonjour, j'ai une question sur cette.*() avec le numéro d'immatriculation.*chez Demo Dealer á ().*

Spanish: Hola, Tengo una pregunta sobre este.*() con número de registro.*en Demo Dealer en ().*

 

Example Please go to https://www.web1on1.chat/en/demo-vdp/ and click the WhatsApp button on this page to see how it works. 

 
2. Create your own Aftersales Match Sentence for direct routing

Besides the CTA WhatsApp sentence option, it is also possible to create a sentence for direct routing to service departments. You can use this sentence in QR codes. See more details about creating and using QR codes.

So if someone starts a chat with the sentence below, the chat will be routed directly to the team inbox of After Sales Audi Amsterdam
