How to launch a WhatsApp chatbot

Four steps from your WhatsApp number to a chatbot that is live.

  1. Connect your WhatsApp number

    Connect a WhatsApp Business API number to MonoChat. With Coexistence you can keep using the WhatsApp Business app on the same number.

  2. Add your content

    Upload documents and web pages to the knowledge base so the chatbot knows your products, services and policies.

  3. Set the rules

    Choose the AI model, write the instructions and decide when the chatbot books, starts a workflow or hands over to a person.

  4. Go live and improve

    Turn the chatbot on, follow conversations in the inbox and use analytics to refine the answers.

FAQ

WhatsApp chatbot FAQ

What you need, how the chatbot finds its answers and what happens when a person has to step in.

What is a WhatsApp chatbot?

A WhatsApp chatbot is software that replies to customers automatically on your WhatsApp Business number. An AI chatbot understands free-text questions, answers them from your own content and can complete tasks such as booking an appointment or collecting a form.

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API to run an AI chatbot?

Yes. AI chatbots and automation run on the official WhatsApp Business API, which you connect to MonoChat. With Coexistence you can keep using the WhatsApp Business app on the same number while the chatbot works through the API.

How does the chatbot know the right answers about my business?

You add your own material to the AI knowledge base: PDFs, spreadsheets, web pages and text. The chatbot retrieves the relevant passages and grounds its reply in them, which reduces made-up answers.

What happens when the chatbot cannot answer?

It hands the conversation over to your team. Complex cases are escalated and assigned to the right agent in the shared inbox, and the agent sees the full chat history and replies from the same WhatsApp number.

Which languages and AI models does the chatbot support?

The chatbot detects the customer’s language and replies in it. For the model, you can use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and other providers, or connect your own model with your own API keys.

Can I start with a WhatsApp chatbot for free?

Yes. MonoChat has a free plan with 1,000 outgoing messages a month, and incoming messages are never counted. You can build and test your chatbot on it, then move to a paid plan as your volume grows.
