\n<\/span>\u2192<\/span><\/span>\u00a0If billing: <\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>Would you like to contact our finance team?<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s walk through the setup <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Install and Activate WoowBot Pro<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

First, make sure you\u2019re using WoowBot<\/span>\u00a0Pro<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(the premium version).<\/span>
\n<\/span>You can get it from <\/span>woowbot.pro<\/span><\/u><\/a>, then install and activate it inside WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Access the Conversational Forms Module<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

From your WordPress dashboard:<\/span><\/p>\n

WoowBot <\/span>\u2192<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>B<\/span>ot<\/span>–<\/span>Form Builder<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2192<\/span><\/span>\u00a0New<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Form<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where the magic happens.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Each \u201cform\u201d can act as a <\/span>decision tree<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2014 guiding users through options based on their choices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Build Your Conversation Flow<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, add <\/span>questions and logic<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0<\/span>Start with a welcome question (like \u201cHow can we help you today?\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0<\/span>Add multiple <\/span>options<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2014 for example:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

o\u00a0<\/span>Technical Support<\/span><\/p>\n

o\u00a0<\/span>Sales Inquiry<\/span><\/p>\n

o\u00a0<\/span>General Question<\/span><\/p>\n

For each option, you can set what happens next \u2014 a new question, a custom message, or even a redirect link.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re literally building a <\/span>tree of decisions<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2014 one branch at a time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Add Conditional Logic<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

This is where WoowBot Pro shines.<\/span>
\n<\/span>You can add <\/span>conditional rules<\/span><\/b>\u00a0that determine which question appears next, based on what users select.<\/span><\/p>\n

Example:<\/span><\/p>\n

If \u201cSales Inquiry\u201d <\/span>\u2192<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Show pricing options<\/span>
\n<\/span>If \u201cTechnical Support\u201d <\/span>\u2192<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Ask for product details<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s like building your own mini decision engine.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Test and Refine<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Once your flow is ready, test it right inside your website chat window.<\/span>
\n<\/span>You can edit text, reorder questions, or add images and buttons to make it more engaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
