Kommo's Salesbot is an AI-fueled superhero that swoops in to save the day for small and not-so-small sales teams by automatically handling customer follow-up based on the keywords in the messages it receives. 💬

In this article, you will learn how to set up a chatbot with keyword triggers to create the fastest way to respond, whether that's answering a question, resolving a complaint, or chasing down a hot new sales lead. 🔥

What are the keyword triggers

Ever wonder how chatbots know exactly what you're looking for?

It's all thanks to keyword triggers! 🤖

Keyword triggers are specific words or phrases programmed into a chatbot to prompt a certain action or response from a pre-planned conversation flow.

For example:

  • E-commerce chatbot can recognize 'Shirt' and provide you with a trendy selection 💻
  • Banking chatbot can recognize 'Balance inquiry' and quickly provide account balance 💰

And if your clients happen to input a keyword that your chatbot doesn't recognize, don't worry - it will promptly ask one of your human experts for assistance.
