Chatbot
Chatbots are designed for channels where agents and customers communicate via text or formatted text, examples would be official websites, independent stores, Whatsapp and Amazon E-commerce. Can be used to replace agents by handling common inquiries and providing guidance. They also have the capability to create tickets or transfer conversations to agents based on customer requests. Navigate to AI Center > Bot Platform > New button.
You can create bots for specific industries and languages. To set up a chatbot, follow the illustrated process. Select its primary language, and enable multi-language dialogue capability in the settings if needed.
1.Chatbot (NLP)
After creating a chatbot, if the business scenario is relatively simple which requires only single or multi-turn dialogues, answering questions based on Document Q&A, and recognizing customer intents, NLP-mode can be used without enabling LLM capabilities.
In a chatbot, LLM capabilities are used in two areas:
-
The Agent Node within the task flow
-
Document Q&A in the Knowledge Base
These two functions utilize LLM's conversational and document processing abilities.
1.1 Q&A Knowledge Base
Chatbot must learn from a sufficient set of example dialogues to accurately answer customer questions. This can be done by building and maintaining a Q&A Knowledge Base with relevant Q&As.
When adding a question, you must define the standard question, provide similar questions, and the reply/answer (which can be text or formatted media like video). The system's built-in AI can automatically generate similar questions for you.
Once a sufficient Q&A Library is created, the chatbot can identify and respond to customer questions. If a query doesn't match any Q&A content, the bot will follow its Guiding Prompt.
1.2 Task Intent
During a conversation, customers may express themselves in diverse ways. To improve the bot's accuracy in identifying customer intent, you must configure Task Intent.
You can also provide sample expressions and trigger keywords for each task intent. This will significantly increase the bots accuracy in identifying customer's intent. The intent management interface also allows you to use built-in AI to automatically generate and expand these expressions.
1.3 Task Flow
When a conversation requires a multi-step process such as after-sales scenario where it must collect order number, product name, purchase date, error code, and issue description to generate a ticket, you need to configure and maintain Task Flow.
Once you create a task flow, you can configure different nodes in the canvas. Each node has different capabilities, which can be configured according to your needs.
-
Dialogue Node: Manages text output to the user, aimed at guiding the user to fill in a specific entity or obtain certain key information. Allowing the bot to recognize different intention.
-
Jump Node: Controls the flow by redirecting the conversation to another specified node, enabling branching paths.
-
Condition Node: Evaluates specific criteria (e.g., variables, user progress) to determine which path or option becomes available, enabling dynamic content.
-
Option Node: Presents the user with multiple choices or responses, allowing them to select and influence the direction of the dialogue.
-
Collection Node: Extract key information from the conversation according to established rules.
-
Operation Node: Perform operational actions at certain process nodes, such as creating a ticket, variable assignment, retrieving document answers, allocating traffic without direct user interaction.
1.4 Guiding Prompt
Guiding s are a critical component of the chatbot setup. They serve as a fallback mechanism, allowing you to configure s for recommending related questions, handling unknown inquiries, and transferring to a human agent, among other functions.
1.5 Transfer to Agent
When a chatbot cannot answer a customer's question or the customer is dissatisfied with the interaction, it should ly transfer the chat to agent. The bot includes specific configurations and triggers to allow this transfer, either automatically or via a customer-entered keyword.
There are two ways to transfer to an agent:
-
Automatic Transfer: The system directly assigns an agent to take over the chat once a trigger condition is met.
-
Recommend Transfer: The system suggests transferring to an agent, allowing the customer to choose whether to proceed.
Transfer conditions can be configured based on keywords or specific conditions to initiate the action.
1.6 Intelligent Recommendation
The Intelligent Recommendation module is crucial during initial bot-customer interactions. When properly configured, it helps the bot guide the conversation, suggests FAQs and anticipate potential customer questions. It is particularly effective for customers who need help but are unsure how to phrase their queries.
Features available in the Intelligent Recommendation module:
-
FAQ Recommendations: Manually or system-generated FAQs (requires historic data) can be presented as a configurable list within the chat window. The display format and sorting logic are adjustable.
-
Convenient Navigation: Questions are categorized into broad scenarios, allowing users to easily navigate and find content relevant to their specific industry.
-
Quick Process: Pre-configured Task Flows automatically suggest related questions or issues, enabling customers to select their topic or explore other options.
-
Intent Prediction: AI analyzes the chat to predict and suggest the customer's potential intents.
-
Auto-Suggest: As the customer types, the system automatically suggests relevant questions from the FAQ, allowing them to complete their query with a click instead of typing it.
1.7 Chatbot Evaluation
The chatbot can be configured to allow users to like or dislike the robot's answer or automatically send customer a satisfaction survey at the end of a chat. The settings are located in the bot's configuration, as shown in the picture below:
1.8 Multi-language Settings
To enable the chatbot's multilingual capability, activate the Multi-Language Dialogue feature and select the languages. This allows the bot to communicate with customers in multiple languages.
2.Chatbot (LLM)
For the LLM-based chatbot, the basic setup follows the same steps as shown in Section 2.1.1 for the NLP chatbot. The LLM bot includes additional modules that leverage its advanced capabilities, such as Document Q&A, LLM reply and Agent Nodes.
2.1 Document Q&A (LLM）
Instadesk's advanced document processing allows businesses to analyze internal knowledge files, automatically generating Q&A pairs for chatbots to use in their customer interactions.
Setup:
-
In the bot's Knowledge Base, enable the Document Q&A feature.
-
Upload the relevant knowledge documents.
-
The system will process the files (retrieval, chunking, categorizing, and Q&A extraction), which usually takes 5-20 minutes, depending on the size of the document.
The generated Q&A pair are then available for the bot. Administrators can review and manually adjust both the questions and the source text chunk to ensure answer accuracy. The extracted Q&A pair can also be used to create a knowledge base.
A test chat interface is located in the bottom-right corner, allowing you to verify the bot's response by asking questions based on the document's content.
2.2 LLM Reply Node
LLM Reply Node captures customer input from a specific dialogue step and processes it using a Large Language Model based on your . Configure the node with your instructions and integrate it into the conversation flow.
2.3 Agent Node (LLM）
The Agent Node calls upon AI platform (PA) agents. This node can utilize a single agent or multiple agents working together, leveraging large language models to achieve superior intent recognition.
-
Create an Agent Node and click on it.
Here, the Agent option requires you to select the specific Agent you need to bind.
-
Go to the AI Platform to configure and select the related agent. Navigate to AI Center > AI Agent > Go to Configuration, click default for the Project Space.
-
Create and select the agent you want to use.
Note: You must add the Agent tag to map the corresponding agent, otherwise it won't show in the Agent Node.
-
Go back to the Agent Node, turn on the Streaming Broadcast.
The output of the Agent is broadcast by default (the variable parameters are preset), and fixed speech can be added later according to the business requirements.
-
If needed, you can create a new variable to assign the agent's response for the following flow.
Note:
-
If you need to stream the output, make sure the PA platform stream output is on.
-
When the streaming broadcast is turned on, the judgment will be output after the speech broadcast is completed.
-
Please note that if the Agent broadcasts hang-up and transfers to manual speech, it is best not to configure the speech in the corresponding jump node to avoid repeated broadcasting.
-
Chatbot In Multi-Channels（Social Media & E-Commerce）
Chatbots can be deployed across major global channels, including social media platforms like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram, as well as e-commerce channels such as Amazon (EU) and eBay.
To enable this, bind these channels in the system's Channel Management module, configure the assignment rules, and link them to a chatbot. This allows the AI agent to provide 24/7 automated customer service.

Appendix: Document Checklist
The specific documents required, in addition to those for Business Verification and Verified Badge Verification, are as follows:
| Information | Description |
| Sender Phone Number | A phone number used to identify a WhatsApp Business API (WABA) account. The phone number (sender) must meet the following WhatsApp requirements: Must be in E.164 international format (country code + subscriber number, including area code, without the '+' symbol) and must be internationally reachable. Must remain active during verification to receive SMS or voice calls for 2FA and number ownership. Limitations: Short codes are not allowed. Toll-free numbers in international format are acceptable if they can bypass IVR during verification (if applicable). The number must not have been previously used with the WhatsApp Business API. If the number is already registered on Android, iPhone, or any business app, the associated account must be deleted before it can be registered as a business account. |
| Facebook Account | The Facebook account (Facebook Business Page) associated with the WABA sender. Meta reviews the Facebook account submitted for WABA registration. Common factors Meta considers include: Credibility of the Facebook account: Do the profile picture, cover photo, 'About' section, and general posts align with the business? Influence of the Facebook account: Does it have sufficient followers, user engagement, and general activity? Verified Facebook Business Pages (with a blue checkmark) have the highest success rate for WABA sender approval. |
| Facebook Business Manager ID or Meta Business ID | The Business ID corresponding to your Meta Business Account. Steps to find your Business ID: 1. Go to Business Settings. 2. Click Business Info. 3. Under Business Manager Info, you will see your ID number. |

3.2.1 Pre-Operations
Instadesk offers multiple features to help businesses manage their eBay stores. Before getting started, users must complete 2 prerequisite steps.
3.2.2 Integration Process
The first prerequisite is the Integration Process, which involves authorizing your store.
-
Login to both your Instadesk account and eBay store, ensuring both are opened in the same browser.
-
Then complete the following steps:
Navigation: Configuration Management > Channel Integration > Channel Management > New Channel, select eBay.
Enter the Channel Name and Channel Language
Ensure your eBay account is logged in, then click Authorize eBay Access
If the following page appears in the new pop-up window, the binding was successful
If the page does not appear, return to Channel Management, click the previously created eBay channel, and re-authorize it.
The Integration Process is now complete. Your eBay store and Instadesk account are successfully linked and in an Authorized status.
3.2.3 Additional Information

3.2.5 Online Customer Service
When using the platform, click Workspace on the homepage to access features like customer chats and queue management.
The top-right corner of the page displays the status of 5 functions. The third one is the Chat status, which by default is set offline. Agents can switch this to another status.
Agents typically encounter 3 main scenarios when using the platform:
-
Offline Messages: When the intelligent assignment rules is set to Agents only or Agents first, and all agents are offline, incoming customer messages are automatically routed to the Offline Messages section in the Workspace. This ensures messages are captured and agents can view them when they go online.
-
Active Chat: When an agent is online, all real-time messages from a single customer are combined into 1 chat and displayed in the In Progress section of the Workspace.
-
Multiple Active Chats: When an online agent receives messages from multiple customers simultaneously, they can use the Online Queue feature to manage and prioritize these conversations efficiently.
Convert Message to Live Chat
Once online, an agent can click on a customer's offline message to instantly convert it to live chat (Scenario 2), allowing them to proactively start a conversation and provide a timely response.
Convert Message to Ticket
Agents can create a ticket directly from a customer's offline message, routing it through different workflows based on the ticket type.
Scenario 2: Start Chat
When an agent's status is set to Online, incoming customer chats are automatically routed to the Workspace > In Progress section. This enables instant communication with eBay customers, as chats are intelligently assigned to available agents for immediate, zero-second response. The platform supports replying with text, images and emojis.

3.8.2 Configuration
-
Log in to the Shopify store admin panel.
-
Navigate to: Online Store → Themes
-
Customize the theme currently in use — click Customize.
-
In the left panel, switch to App embeds, enable Online Customer Service, and click Save.
-
After saving the theme, refresh the storefront page. The online customer service entry will appear at the bottom-right corner of the store.
-
Customers initiate an online chat from the bottom-right corner of the store. To retrieve customer identity and order information on the B-side, the system must first collect the customer’s email or phone number (e.g., 13292214214) through the pre-chat form.
-
If the pre-chat form collects the customer’s email or phone number, the system can retrieve customer profile and order information from Shopify via API. If the pre-chat form is not enabled, this information cannot be retrieved.
-
For pre-sales scenarios, agents can search the product list to respond to customer inquiries accordingly.
-
The system supports sending orders or products as cards to C-end customers. Product cards support click-through to the product detail page.
