▶️ Chinese Version

Let's Starts.

If you're already using WhatsApp Business API, like iSlash, you can dive right into creating your first flow. Conversely, if you're new to the WhatsApp API, your first step is getting set up.

Creating Your First Flows with JSON

This is the primary area where you can edit your Flow JSON inside a code editor. The Flows Builder is best suited to users waiting a hands-on, customizable approach to Flow creation.

Step 1: Plan Your Flow

Begin by defining the purpose and structure of your WhatsApp Flows. Consider the desired user journey, interactions, and objectives you want to achieve.

Step 2: Access JSON Playground

Log in to iSlash and navigate to the JSON Playground section, where you can create and customize your WhatsApp Flow. Here you can visually design your flow by adding screens and contents using JSON code.

Step 3: Customize and Implement Logic

Customize each screen and message to align with your brand's tone and style. Implement logic to define how the flow responds to user inputs, guiding them through the interaction seamlessly.

Step 4: Integrate and Test

If necessary, integrate your WhatsApp Flow with external systems or databases to automate processes or access additional data sources. Once your flow is built, thoroughly test it to ensure all elements function as expected.

Step 5: Deploy and Optimize

Once testing is complete and any necessary adjustments have been made, deploy your WhatsApp Flows. Monitor its performance closely, gathering feedback and analytics to identify areas for optimization and improvement over time.
