Series: The Smart Commerce Academy | Track 1: WhatsApp Business API | Part 4 of 5
You’ve set up your WhatsApp Business API (Part 1), built your first chatbot (Part 2), and connected it to WooCommerce (Part 3). Now it’s time to level up. In this guide, you’ll learn how to create advanced WhatsApp flows that turn your chatbot into a complete sales and support system for your Algerian business.
What Are Advanced WhatsApp Flows?
Basic chatbots answer simple questions. Advanced flows handle complex customer journeys:
- Product catalogs — customers browse and order directly in WhatsApp
- Customer support automation — ticket creation, FAQ routing, agent handoff
- Marketing campaigns — broadcast messages, segmentation, follow-up sequences
- Order management — modify orders, request returns, track deliveries
Flow 1: WhatsApp Product Catalog (Browse and Buy)
Let customers browse your full product catalog and place orders without leaving WhatsApp.
How it works:
- Customer sends “Show products” or taps a menu button
- Bot displays product categories (Electronics, Clothing, Home, etc.)
- Customer selects a category
- Bot shows 3-5 products with images, prices in DZD, and descriptions
- Customer replies with product number to add to cart
- Bot confirms and asks: “Continue shopping or checkout?”
- At checkout, bot collects delivery address and payment method
- Order is sent to your WooCommerce store automatically
Example conversation:
Customer: Show products
Bot: Here are our categories: Reply 1 – Electronics | Reply 2 – Fashion | Reply 3 – Home
Customer: 1
Bot: 📱 Electronics
1️⃣ Smartphone XYZ – 45,000 DZD
2️⃣ Wireless Earbuds – 8,500 DZD
3️⃣ Power Bank 20000mAh – 4,200 DZD
Reply with the number to add to cart.
Customer: 2
Bot: ✅ Added Wireless Earbuds to your cart. Reply CHECKOUT to complete your order.
Flow 2: Automated Customer Support System
Handle common support requests automatically and route complex issues to human agents.
Support flow structure:
- Tier 1: FAQ Auto-Response
Customer: “How do I track my order?”
Bot instantly replies with tracking instructions and link - Tier 2: Self-Service Actions
Customer: “I want to change my delivery address”
Bot collects new address and updates the order - Tier 3: Agent Handoff
If the bot can’t resolve the issue, it creates a support ticket and notifies a human agent
Common support triggers for Algerian stores:
- “كيف أتتبع طلبي” (How do I track my order) → Auto-send tracking link
- “When will my order arrive?” → Check delivery estimate from WooCommerce
- “Change payment method” → Bot guides through re-checkout process
- “Speak to agent” → Instantly notify available agent via Slack/WhatsApp
Flow 3: Marketing Campaign Broadcasts
Send targeted promotions to your customer base using WhatsApp broadcast lists and templates.
Campaign types that work in Algeria:
- Flash sales: “24-hour sale! 30% off all electronics. Shop now: [link]”
- New product launches: Send product images + pre-order link
- Seasonal campaigns: Ramadan deals, back-to-school, Eid promotions
- Re-engagement: “We miss you! Here’s 500 DZD off your next order”
Meta’s broadcast message rules:
- You can only send broadcast messages to customers who opted in
- Messages must use pre-approved templates
- Promotional messages are limited — focus on value, not spam
- Personalize with customer name and purchase history
How to Build These Flows in DziriBot
Most no-code platforms like DziriBot use a visual flow builder:
- Create a new flow from your dashboard
- Add trigger keywords or menu buttons (e.g., “Products”, “Support”, “Offers”)
- Drag and drop response blocks (text, image, button, list, etc.)
- Connect blocks with arrows to define conversation paths
- Add conditions: If customer says X, go to Y; otherwise go to Z
- Integrate with external tools (WooCommerce, Google Sheets, CRM)
- Test the flow thoroughly before activating
Best Practices for Advanced Flows
- Keep it conversational: Write like a human, not a robot
- Offer clear next steps: Always show buttons or numbered options
- Use emojis strategically: Algerians use emojis frequently — they make messages friendlier
- Always provide an exit: Let customers type “Stop” or “Agent” to get help or opt out
- Test with real users: Ask 5-10 customers to test your flow before launching
- Monitor and optimize: Track where customers drop off and improve those steps
Real Results from Algerian Businesses

- 40% increase in conversion rate from catalog browsing flows
- 60% reduction in support response time with automated FAQ bots
- 25% boost in repeat purchases from marketing broadcast campaigns
- Save 15+ hours per week on manual customer service
