Let's create a bot that will help you attend to your customers around the clock. Bots work all day, every day, to provide your customers with comprehensive support: they can effectively respond to customers, ask the right questions at the right time, and deliver quick answers to common questions.
Build your bot in minutes using the Guided Conversations (GC) builder or Answer Bot to address simple customer questions and issues. Then, plan for your agents to take over when more complex issues need attention.

Getting started

To create your first bot:
Setup
1. Go to Setup (  ) in the top bar.
2. Select the Instant Messaging channel.
3. Navigate to the Preferences section.
4. Click on the Bots sub-tab.
5. Under the Associate a Bot section, click Let's Get Started.
6. Select Guided Conversations or Answer Bot under the Configure Bot accordion.
7. Click Next.
8. Select the respective bot, or click Create Bot (if no bot has been created for the selected option).
9. Click Next.
10. The next step is to associate a LINE channel where you can leverage your conversational bot for better customer support. Associate a channel by selecting it from the drop-down list. Then, click Save.
Note
An error message will be shown when there are no channels to be associated. In that case, refer to this help doc to create a LINE channel in Zoho Desk, and continue the process of configuring the bot.
11. Continue bot configuration by checking that the default selection, All Visitors, is highlighted, ensuring the bot attends to all visitor conversations.
12. The final step is to ensure the availability of the configured bot is set to Always.
Note
You should assign the bot to a unique audience. This will help you prevent the same customers from receiving answers from the same bot.

Under IM > Preferences > Bot Listing, the bot's status will be disabled.
