Launch Your First Bot in Minutes, Not Weeks
Our intuitive Flow Builder requires no code just drag, drop, and deploy. It is as easy as it sounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How quickly can I launch a chatbot using a no-code builder?
Launch a basic chatbot in under 1 hour using ReplyCX’s pre-built templates (e.g., customer support or appointment booking). For advanced flows (e.g., lead qualification), build and deploy in 2-3 days without coding.
- How it works: Choose a template → Customize questions/branding → Embed on your website or social media.
- Real example: A healthcare clinic launched a patient scheduling bot in 45 minutes, reducing phone inquiries by 60%.
How do chatbots reduce support workload and operational costs?
Chatbots automate up to 60% of repetitive tasks, cutting costs by 30-50%:
Deflect Tickets: Resolve common queries instantly (e.g., "Reset password," "Track order").
Automate Tasks: Handle appointment scheduling, return processing, and ticket creation without agent involvement.
Resource Optimization: Reduce staffing needs – 1 bot handles inquiries equivalent to 3 full-time agents.
Error Reduction: Pre-built validation (e.g., email/phone checks) prevents incorrect data entry.
*Operational Impact: Bots work 24/7, eliminating overtime costs and reducing average handling time by 73%.*
How can no-code chatbots help with lead generation and sales?
ReplyCX turns conversations into revenue through:
Smart Qualification: Ask budget/timeline questions and qualify leads.
Seamless Capture: Store responses in variables (e.g., #email, #company) and sync to CRM tools like Salesforce.
Instant Follow-ups: Send personalized materials (e.g., brochures, demo links) post-chat.
Behavioral Triggers: Start conversations when users browse pricing pages or abandon carts.
Lead Nurturing: Automate drip campaigns based on chat interactions to move prospects down the funnel.
Can non-technical teams update chatbots without developers?
Absolutely. ReplyCX’s no-code platform enables:
Live Editing: Update messages, logic, or flows in seconds via drag-and-drop editor.
Collaboration: Share bot previews with teams for feedback.
Advanced Logic: Create rules using dropdown menus (e.g., "Show bot only if visitor is from the USA").
Version Control: Safely test changes and revert to earlier versions if needed.
Empowerment: Marketing/support teams own bot management – no tickets or developer dependencies.
How does Live Chat Automation improve conversions?
Live Chat Automation significantly boosts conversion rates by deploying Conversational AI that engage high-potential leads at critical moments, then guiding them toward decisive actions with personalized pathways.
Proactive Engagement: Trigger chats based on user behavior (e.g., 60-second page dwell time).
AI-Powered Assistance: Suggest agent responses during live chats using trained knowledge bases.
Priority Routing: Instantly route high-intent leads (e.g., "Buy now" requests) to sales teams.
After-Hours Capture: Qualify leads and book demos 24/7.
*Efficiency: Reduce response times from 10 minutes to 90 seconds, preventing lead drop-off.*
What analytics will I get from chatbot interactions?
Gain actionable insights with real-time dashboards:
Volume Metrics: Total conversations, chats per channel (Web/WhatsApp), and peak hours.
Efficiency Data: Average conversation duration, abandonment rates, and completion percentages.
Quality Indicators: CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) scores, escalation rates, and fallback triggers.
Conversion Tracking: Lead capture rates, form completions, and ROI per bot.
