Start with predictable answers #

This example asks whether the visitor wants opening hours, delivery information, or something else. Each choice leads to one reply. It uses a multiple-choice node and three message nodes, with no AI processing or external connection requirement.

Use this pattern when a small set of published answers covers most questions. It is easy to understand, test, and update.

Replace the sample information #

The supplied hours and policy wording are examples. Replace them with your actual business information before enabling the workflow. Add a current public link where it helps the customer.

For information repeated in many messages, move the changeable values into workflow Properties and insert them using the variable picker.

Test all three choices #

Assign the workflow to a test Line, enable it, and create a fresh chat for each answer option. Confirm the displayed information, links, and next action. The “Something else” path should explain what the customer can do next.

Add an AI answer when you need it #

If you want free-form questions, add Receive Message and a suitable current AI node. Supply the business information the model is allowed to use, ask it to say when an answer is missing, and connect a useful error or timeout path.

An AI-enhanced extension needs its own compatible connection and testing; it is not included in this menu’s JSON. Read AI and assistants before building that extension.

READY TO CUSTOMIZE

Try this in Chatigram

Replace all sample business information before use. This is a deterministic FAQ menu with no AI processing or provider account requirement. Assign it to a test Line and test all three choices.
