.webp)
How many times have you signed up for a free trial and discarded it just because you couldn’t get the hang of the product?
There are times when the support documentation and videos are not quite enough. That’s why we decided to create this detailed blog just so you can get started.
This guide aspires to familiarise you with your Gallabox WhatsApp Business API trial account and helps you set it up in 5 simple steps.
We will also offer you guidelines on where you can find more information about specific modules and features. If you follow the instructions in this blog to the tee, you can make the most of our product.
Get Started
Once you successfully sign up for a free trial, you can view and access our product right away.
If you accidentally dropped off during the signup process or had trouble completing the signup, then you will need to complete the signup process using the email you have received.
- You don’t just need a website address! Your website needs to be in working condition, too.
- We cannot help you connect a personal email address to your account. Only an official email address will work.
- You need a fresh number to create a WhatsApp business API. Connecting an existing WhatsApp business number could result in complications.
Log in to your Gallabox account using the credentials that you signed up with.
While you can log in to Gallabox from your mobile device(both iOS and Android), we recommend you log in from a desktop or laptop.
Because it would help you access bots, set up a sequence, create a broadcast, use one of our connectors, and other essential elements with ease.
1.1 Add a Team
Before you rush into sending invites to all your core crew, please take the time to identify the roles and access controls offered in Gallabox.
Once you feel comfortable with the different roles on the platform, you can invite any of your employees, from a store manager to a customer service representative and marketing associate.
Import Contacts
Once you have onboarded your team onto the platform, it is time to import customer information into the database.
You can either add customer data individually or import them all in one shot (bulk) from your Google Sheets, CRM, or other third-party software using Gallabox connectors. You can also filter contacts, export them, and even create different segments.
Learn the different ways you can import your customer data into Gallabox!
Configure Templates
You can use general WhatsApp templates for various events that happen throughout the lifecycle of a customer or a prospect, including service reminders, delay alerts, and status changes.
By configuring the templates based on the context or specific use case, you can take your messaging from canned to candid in minutes!
Learn how to create personalised message templates with dynamic variables and media.
Set Up a Campaign
Now that you have updated your database and migrated all employee and customer information onto the platform, you need to set up a WhatsApp Chatbot or a Drip Marketing Campaign or even WhatsApp Flows.
As a growing business, you are bound to have your own set of policies and processes; it is time to implement them on the platform.
4.1 Create a Chatbot
For instance, a retail business can create a bot that sends automated post-purchase notifications and shipping updates smoothly based on data from its Shopify or WooCommerce store.
If you manage a healthcare business, you can create a bot that answers frequently asked health queries, sends appointment reminders, and nudges customers to book a health check-up.
