Using CTA URL Button on BotSailor

🔍 What Is the CTA URL Button?

The CTA URL Button in BotSailor allows you to send clickable call-to-action buttons through WhatsApp chatbot flows. These buttons redirect users to a specified website or landing page, making it a powerful tool for promotions, lead generation, or user guidance.

With a simple keyword trigger, users receive a message that includes a clickable link button—enabling frictionless redirection directly from WhatsApp.

 

🛠 How to Set It Up

 

1️⃣ Start a Bot Flow

 

 

  • Navigate to your Bot Flow editor.
  • Create a new flow and give it a name (e.g., CTA Test).
  • Set a Bot trigger keyword like cta.
  • Choose the keyword matching type (e.g., Exact keyword match).

2️⃣ Add a CTA URL Button Message

 

 

Click "Compose Next Message" from the Start step and select CTA URL Button as the message type.

Then configure the message as follows:

  • Header Message: Title (e.g., Welcome to BotSailor)
  • Body Message: Description (e.g., BotSailor is an omnichannel chatbot marketing platform)
  • Footer Message: Additional text or guidance (e.g., Go to BotSailor’s Website from here...)
  • Button Text: The clickable button name (e.g., BotSailor)
  • Button URL: Link to be opened (e.g., https://www.botsailor.com)

👉 Finally, click the Save button.

 

3️⃣ Test the Flow on WhatsApp

 

 

Now go to your connected WhatsApp account and type the trigger keyword cta.

You'll receive the configured message with the button.

When the user taps the button, WhatsApp will ask for confirmation to open the link. Upon clicking "Yes, open", the browser opens the destination URL.

The user is redirected to the desired page—e.g., the BotSailor website.
