How to turn on AI on a channel
AI is turned on per integration, which means you choose which numbers and accounts it serves.- WhatsApp
- Instagram
1
Open the integration
Go to Settings, Integrations and open the WhatsApp integration.
2
Go to the WhatsApp tab
Open the WhatsApp (Official Meta) tab and find the Official Behavior section.
3
Turn on AI
Enable Enable AI on this number.
4
Decide on automatic leads
If you want, also enable Automatic Lead Creation, so that new contacts become leads in the pipeline.
5
Save
Save the integration.
One AI profile for all channels or one per channel
In Company settings, AI tab, the Apply this setting to all channels option defines how the agent behaves.
With the option off, the integration also gets the Service Mode field:
- Artificial Intelligence: the agent leads the conversation.
- Fixed Flow (visual builder, no AI): a flow built by you, with template sending, waiting for the reply and branches, which replaces the AI on that channel. The Open Flow Editor button takes you to the builder.
What the agent does
- Replies using the name you gave it (AI Name field).
- Follows the objective chosen in Main AI Objective (see the table below).
- Collects lead data during the conversation, such as name and contact.
- Checks free slots in the calendar and creates the appointment. If Google Calendar is connected, the event is also sent to it.
- Understands audio messages: the audio is transcribed and answered as text.
- Hands the conversation over to the team when needed. See Hand over to an agent.
Available objectives
At a car dealership, the agent also searches real vehicles in your stock and records the lead’s interest. The AI never invents vehicles.
What the agent does not do
- It does not answer conversations that are already with a human agent.
- It does not answer when AI credits run out. The conversation stays waiting for human service.
- It does not confirm a meeting date or time that the customer has not said and that the calendar has not released.
- It does not send emojis and asks one question at a time.
- It does not decide on its own about formal complaints, billing disputes or complex legal matters: in those cases it calls the team.
Business hours
There is no schedule to turn the AI on and off: it answers at any time, as long as there are credits and the conversation is not with a human.
Response time
In General Settings, AI tab, the Response Delays section defines the Minimum time and Maximum time to wait. The AI picks a random value between the two before replying, so the conversation feels natural. Long answers are split into short messages, sent with small intervals.Frequently asked questions
The AI replied and then stopped. Why?
The AI replied and then stopped. Why?
The most common reasons are: the conversation was taken over by an agent, the AI called the team, the credits ran out or the conversation was finished. Check the conversation mode in the details panel of the Chat.
Can I turn on the AI on just one number?
Can I turn on the AI on just one number?
Yes. The option is per integration: turn it on only in the integrations where you want the agent.
How do I fix a wrong AI answer?
How do I fix a wrong AI answer?
Adjust the text in About the company and Service rules. The more specific the rule, the better the result. If the information is not in the base, the AI should not make it up.
