With Salesforce Einstein Chatbot, you can have conversations powered by AI. A chatbot can be integrated into a variety of business processes that involve real-time customer engagement with the help of this tool.

To provide a seamless customer experience, it can be integrated with Salesforce’s other CRM tools. Customer support representatives use Einstein bots to assist people and answer various questions. Several tasks are also automated through evaluating insights, calculating possible outcomes, and directing the next best action step.

Salesforce Einstein Chatbot Implementation Guide
Get started with your Salesforce Einstein chatbot implementation with this step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Enable Chat
To make sure your organization has access to the chat feature, look for a chat in the Quick Find Bar, and then go to chat settings to enable it.
Step 2: Implement Chat and Messaging
The bot must be connected to a messaging channel, a chat implementation, or both in order to be used.
Step 3: Search Einstein Bot
Enter Einstein Bots into the Quick Find Box under Setup.
Step 4: Enable Einstein Bot
There, turn on the Einstein Bots. Set the Einstein Bot to work. If this is your first time, agree to the conditions.
Step 5: Create Einstein Bot Setup Page
To create a new bot, go to the Einstein Bots Setup page and click New. It will direct you to a page where you must enter the bot’s name, a heartfelt welcome message for users, and the main menu where all the different types of questions are presented.
Step 6: List Top Inquiries
A great practice is to display the most popular questions in the main menu since it makes it easier for consumers to identify the problem’s source. Ensure that you provide a “Connect with a Live Agent” option. Customers will then be connected to a live representative who is on duty and receive the assistance they need.
Step 7: Add Menu Option
Add the Order Related Menu and the Appointment Related Menu as the next two major menu options. Then choose Create and Finish.
You will instantly be taken to the Bot Builder Overview Page as soon as your bot is prepared. The following choices are available here, each providing a different purpose:
- Overview: To build a new bot
- Dialogs: Conversational snippets direct the bot’s actions. Dialogue intentions can be used to educate the system to comprehend a variety of client inputs.
- Entities: Comprises several types of information that a company could request from a consumer, including Booleans, email addresses, dates, times, objects (standard or custom), numbers, phone numbers, and texts.
- Variables: A location to save specific data gathered from customers or produced from Salesforce. A variable holds data that can be used as an input, an output, or a message component.
- Performance: Assess the performance of your bot and examine the information gleaned from client discussions. You may also improve any activity your bot is engaged in using this option.
Step 8: Activate
By selecting Activate, you may turn on your bot.
Step 9: Put Your Bot on a Channel
On the Overview page, click Bot Builder. Select Add under the Channels section. By selecting the message channel type (such as text) and the deployment name of the Channel, you may connect your bot to your messaging implementation.
The visitor or client will initially be connected to the bot through this, and if necessary, the agent will be asked to handle the situation.
Only if you always want agents on hand in case a client needs assistance, or a bot is unable to answer a query may you use the Required Agent Online option. If your working hours are restricted and your bot operates around the clock, avoid using this option.
Step 10: Add Embedded Chatbot
Add an Embedded Chat Deployment to the Bot Builder to preview the bot.
Step 11: Preview and Test
If you’ve built a chat deployment in the previous step, you may enter the Dialogue page on Bot Builder and click on Preview to preview your bot, or you can test it on any of the designated channels.
You will receive a message from your Einstein Bot upon arrival, along with two menu choices. The bot could present a pre-chat form if you’ve configured it to use Embedded Chat before it delivers its first message.
