Set-up

Creating an effective chatbot can be tricky. Keep in mind that it should be actually helpful for website visitors and shouldn’t annoy and scare them away from your website.

To achieve these two essential points, you need the right audience segment to see your bot at the right time. We recommend the following settings in the Dashly chatbot builder:

You can also connect the chatbot to your CRM, and it’ll pass all the lead data there. Just add relevant events to your CRM integration. You can integrate Dashly with ConvergeHub, or set up custom integration via Zapier. Learn more in our knowledge base.

If you take a closer look at the template, you’ll see that we added recorded events not only at the step where a user needs human assistance, but in other blocks too. If you add events to each chatbot block, you can:

Benefits of this chatbot campaign, according to Eugene, Dashly expert

Set up an onboarding chatbot, depending on the selling process in your company. Let’s consider the two most popular types in the EdTech industry.

Self-service model. Use a chatbot to introduce users to the platform’s interface and main features. Set up the bot to deal with FAQs and add tutorials and manuals.

This chatbot will cover two tasks at once:

• Raise user activation to your product or a particular feature;
• Retain users who couldn’t figure out the service on their own.

Demo after sign-up model. Use a chatbot to introduce users to the platform’s interface, qualify them and collect contact info. With data chatbot collected, it’s easier for the sales rep to personalize communication with a user, nurture them and lead to purchase. 

The conversion of this particular chatbot campaign is pretty high. That’s because signed-up users are already interested in your product. 

Let’s say you have 1 000 signed-up users. 15% of them will start the chatbot conversation and 20% of them will leave their contact for a demo.
