Prerequisites

To recreate this use case, you’ll need the following enabled and set up:

Implementation Steps

This tutorial can be implemented using the Infobip web interface.

  1. Create a new chatbot and select Messenger as your communication channel. Set your sender in this case as your official Facebook page.
  2. In this tutorial, we are going to focus on the chatbot dialogs to enable verification. This means you'll already need to have your keywords, attributes, and intents already set up.
  3. Use the default dialog to receive all incoming messages. Add the Text element to introduce the chatbot and then add the Button element to let end users select a pre-configured option. Banking dialog
  4. Configure the Button element with postback actions so that the chatbot can interpret them as keywords to route users to the next dialog.
  5. Then configure your next dialog so that end users can select which card type they are activating, after selecting they will be redirected to an activation page. Card activation selection
  6. Now it's time to add the authorization step. Add the API element to send the webhook URL. The bank will notify you once the authorization is initiated. Call API activation
  7. Add the Text element to send the URL to the end user. This is the link through which they will authorize themselves with the bank.
  8. Add the Webhook element to receive the information on whether the authorization was successful. Activation webhook
  9. Once authorized, add the Text element to notify the end user and route the dialog. For example, a thank you note, or offer them additional agent support using Conversations.
  10. To help you route the conversation to a specific quote (for example, a group of agents best equipped to help your end user), select the appropriate tags. For detailed information on how to manage queues, visit Queues and Routing.
