Menu Navigator Bot Template

The conversation, step by step

These are the messages and questions in the template as it comes. Words in brackets are filled in from your business details or from the visitor's earlier answers. A visitor sees only the steps that match the buttons they choose, and you can change any wording, add steps or remove them in the flow builder.

Questions your flow does not cover

A template answers the paths it was built for. To answer other questions in the visitor's own words, add AI answering for $25 a month: it replies from business information you provide as text, which the Alma team loads into your bot. The article on how a knowledge base chatbot works explains what to write.

For more on using a chatbot in this kind of business, see our page on chatbots for restaurants.
