How to Automate Your Customer DMs and Leads Using AI (Across Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp & Website)
Introduction
Modern businesses receive hundreds of DMs, comments, and WhatsApp messages every week — and every missed response means lost sales. Customers expect instant replies, accurate answers, and a human-like experience no matter which platform they contact you on.
That’s where Chablyy comes in — an all-in-one AI platform that connects Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and your website into one smart inbox. It automatically replies, qualifies leads, and helps your team focus on what matters: converting conversations into paying customers.
Why Your Business Needs Multi-Channel Chat Automation
- Too many DMs, not enough time: Managing inboxes across platforms drains your team’s energy.
- Inconsistent replies: Customers get different answers depending on who responds.
- Leads slipping away: Unanswered messages, especially outside work hours, cost potential sales.
- No central visibility: Teams can’t track where each lead came from or who followed up.
- 24/7 engagement needed: Global customers expect your business to always be “open.”
Key Features of Chablyy for Multi-Channel Automation
- AI Training with Documents, Website & FAQs: Upload your pricing sheets, brand policies, FAQs, and website links so the bot can instantly answer customer questions with context.
- Lead Types & Qualification: Define your lead types — sales inquiries, support requests, partnerships, etc. Chablyy automatically tags and prioritizes them for faster follow-up.
- Bot Configuration for Each Channel: Create bots for Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Business, and your website chat widget — all synced to one dashboard.
- Automatic Replies & Comment Triggers: Instantly respond to new DMs or auto-DM anyone who comments on your posts.
- Centralized Inbox: View and reply to all customer messages in one place — across platforms — with team collaboration tools built in.
- Human Takeover: When a conversation requires a human, the AI hands it over with full context preserved.
Step-by-Step Implementation
1. Prepare Your Training Resources
Collect your FAQs, policy docs, and product info from your website. Add brand tone and sample conversations so the AI can learn how you speak.
2. Train Your AI
Go to Training → Docs & Website in Chablyy. Upload your PDFs, URLs, and sample Q&As. The AI will automatically process and store them for conversational use.
3. Define Lead Types
Under Leads → Settings, create categories such as “New Inquiry,” “Repeat Customer,” or “Support Request.” This helps your team prioritize and track performance.
4. Add and Configure Bots
In Integrations, connect your Instagram, Facebook Page, WhatsApp Business API, and Website Chat. You can customize greeting messages and AI tone for each channel.
5. Enable Auto Replies & Comment Automation
Activate auto-response flows for DMs and comment triggers — for example, send a discount or catalog when someone comments “price?” on your post.
6. Use Centralized Inbox
All customer chats now appear in one unified inbox. Team members can assign, respond, and close tickets directly from Chablyy’s dashboard.
7. Monitor & Optimize
Use analytics to track response times, leads, and conversions. Retrain your bot monthly to keep replies accurate and updated.
