One of the key tools available on HubSpot is the chatbot, which can be used to enhance customer service, boost lead generation, and improve overall user experience.
Let's understand what is a Chatflow first.
What is Chatflow?
A chatflow in HubSpot is a series of messages that guide a conversation with a website visitor or customer through the HubSpot chat widget. Chatflows are created using a drag-and-drop builder and can be customized to match your brand and messaging.
Chatflows can be used to:
- Qualify leads: Ask questions to understand a visitor's needs and interests and qualify them as potential leads.
- Provide support: Offer assistance to website visitors with their questions or issues.
- Schedule meetings: Help visitors schedule meetings with your sales or support team.
- Collect feedback: Gather customer feedback about their experience with your company or product.
- Generate leads: Collect contact information and other details from website visitors to generate leads.
Once a chatflow is created, it can be set up to trigger at specific times or based on certain actions, such as when a visitor lands on a specific page or clicks a button.
