Behavior-Based Chat Flows by ChatSasa in Kenya..

What are Behavior-Based Chat Flows?

Behavior-based chat flows are automated conversation paths that adapt to a user’s interactions—like clicking a link or filling a form. Instead of generic replies, ChatSasa allows you to respond precisely to what the user does, boosting relevance and conversion.


Why They Matter in Kenya

  • Mobile-first users engage in short bursts and expect instant, helpful responses.

  • Language & cultural nuance matters—your chatbot must adapt local tone and terms in English, Kiswahili, or regional languages.

  • Scalable support: With ChatSasa bots, Kenyan businesses can deliver 24/7, respond to frequently asked questions, qualify prospects, and handle repetitive tasks—without expanding staff.


Key Features of Behavior-Based ChatSasa Workflows

  1. Automated Chat Triggers Set actions like:

    • “Clicked product link?” → Provide relevant upsell.

    • “Abandoned cart?” → Offer a tempting discount.

    • “Clicked FAQ?” → Provide tailored help—for example, payment or shipping guidance.

  2. Dynamic Personalization Use placeholders such as {FirstName} or {ProductName} to tailor every response, making interactions feel human and locally relevant.

  3. Multichannel Flow Mapping Integrate SMS, WhatsApp, and web chat seamlessly:

    • For example, an SMS nudges an abandoned cart buyer, while follow-ups with images and buttons deploy via ChatSasa.

  4. Logical Audience Segmentation Segment users by purchase history, location, or behavior—then trigger chat flows that speak to that context.

  5. Lead Capture & Routing ChatSasa bots can ask qualifying questions, collect lead data, and escalate to human agents when required—all automatically.


Example Use Case: Retail Abandoned Cart Flow

A Nairobi retailer sets up the following flow:

  1. Trigger: Website user clicks “Add to Cart” but doesn’t check out.

  2. ChatNudge (via ChatSasa): “Hey {FirstName}, I noticed you left {ProductName} in your cart—can I help with checkout? Reply ‘YES’ for 10% off.”

  3. If no reply in 15 minutes → Send SMS reminder or WhatsApp prompt via SMSLeopard.

  4. If they reply YES → Provide checkout link, support options, or payment guidance.

  5. If still inactive → Follow-up after 24 hours with a FAQ or guarantee reassurance.

This behavior-driven messaging gets more personal, timely, and effective—no manual intervention required.


Best Practices for Behavior-Based Flows in Kenya

  • Start simple with 1–2 key triggers (cart, pricing inquiry, or FAQ click).

  • Test tone and formality: Urban youth may love playful language; professional customers may prefer polished messaging.

  • Continuous iteration: Use analytics and dropout patterns to refine the flow.

  • Respect opt-out: Always include “Reply STOP” options where necessary and comply with Kenyan Data Protection guidelines.

  • Use multi-language support for local friendliness (e.g., Swahili toggles where useful).
