Generic Template Use Case (Using Carousel)

🎯 Objective:

 

Create a versatile and visually engaging chatbot flow using BotSailor’s Generic Template, triggered by the keyword gencase2, to display products, promotions, and external links for increased user engagement and conversion.

 

🛠️ Step-by-Step Configuration

 

 

Step 1: Trigger Setup

 

  • Bot Title: Generic Case 2
  • Trigger Word: gencase2
  • This is the entry point. When the user types “gencase2”, the flow will start automatically.

Step 2: Insert a Generic Template

 

  • From the top menu, select the Generic Template
  • Upload an image and set a welcome title like “Welcome to ANS Bazar”.
  • Add 3 buttons below the image:

    • Products
    • View Offers..
    • Learn More

Step 3: First Button – Products (Carousel Showcase)

 

  • Create a Carousel Template connected to the “Products” button.
  • Add 3 carousel items with:

    • Product Image (e.g., Honeyed Pears, Brownie, Puff Pastry)
    • Product Title
    • Purchase Button on each
  • Link each Purchase Button to a Text Element that sends:

    • "Your Order is Being Processed. Thanks for Staying with Us."

Users can scroll through carousel items using the left/right arrows and select any product.

 

Step 4: Second Button – View Offers (Promotional Message)

 

  • Use an Image Template connected to “View Offers..” button.
  • Upload a promotional banner (e.g., Bengali New Year Sale).
  • Add a Text Element below the image with a message like:

    • "Our Bengali New Year Sale is On… Grab the Offer Now!"

Step 5: Third Button – Learn More (External Link)

 

  • Add a Button with URL.
  • Set the button label as Learn More.
  • Redirect link example: https://www.botsailor.com/

 

Step 6: Save and Test

 

 

  • Click the Save button on the top right corner.
  • Open Messenger and type gencase2.


 

  • Test each button:

    • Products Button shows a carousel with Purchase Button. You can browse other products by clicking left and right arrows.

 

  • View Offers button shows promo image and message.

 

 

  • Learn More button redirects to your website.

 


 

✅ Why Use Generic Template?

 

  • Multi-Purpose Engagement: Combine product showcase, offers, and redirection in a single compact interface.
