Flows, not commands
WhatsApp bots use flows instead of commands and events. A flow starts when something happens, like a new message. Then it follows your blocks, just like the Discord builders.Example
A customer writes “Hi” to your number. Your flow answers:
Start here
1
Connect a number
Connect your WhatsApp number to DogeBot. See Connect a WhatsApp number.
2
Make your first flow
Pick what starts it, add blocks, and save. See Flows and triggers.
3
Answer chats yourself
Use the Inbox when a real person needs to help. See The Inbox.
The pages for a WhatsApp number
Pick your number in the bot picker at the top of the sidebar. The sidebar changes to show only WhatsApp pages:The 24-hour rule
DogeBot follows this rule for you. Use the approved template block to reach people after the 24 hours. The Inbox shows how much time is left to reply, and tells you when the window has closed.Things that work the same as Discord
Error Logs (with WhatsApp errors in plain words), Replays, Collaborators, If something breaks, variables, checks, loops and web requests all work in WhatsApp flows too.If WhatsApp sends the same message twice, your bot answers only once. A paused number stays quiet.
