Q: What channels can a Botstar chatbot be deployed on?

Botstar supports deployment on your website as a chat widget, Facebook Messenger, and through API connections to other messaging platforms. The same bot logic can serve multiple channels, so you build the conversation flow once and deploy it where your customers are.

Q: Does Botstar's NLP understand free-text responses from users?

Yes. Botstar includes NLP training where you add example phrases for different intents. The bot matches user messages to intents and routes the conversation accordingly. It is not as advanced as dedicated NLP platforms like Dialogflow, but it handles common customer enquiry patterns well for most use cases.

Q: How does the live chat handover work?

When the bot reaches a point where it cannot help, either through a user request or a confidence threshold, it passes the conversation to a human agent. The agent sees the full conversation history and any data the bot collected, so the customer does not have to repeat themselves.

Q: Can Botstar connect to our CRM or database during a conversation?

Yes. Botstar supports HTTP requests within conversation flows, so the bot can query your CRM, check order status, or pull product information during a live chat. You can also send conversation data to external systems via webhooks for logging or follow-up actions.

Q: How does Botstar compare to building a custom chatbot?

Botstar is faster to set up and requires no coding, making it practical for businesses that need a working chatbot quickly. A custom-built bot gives you more flexibility, deeper NLP capabilities, and full control over the technology stack, but takes longer and costs more to develop and maintain.

Q: Can we use Botstar with n8n for backend automation?

Yes. Botstar can send webhook events to n8n when specific conversation events occur, like a lead qualification being completed or a support request being submitted. n8n can then route that data to your CRM, ticketing system, or any other business tool in your stack.

We can help you automate your business with Botstar and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing Botstar.

About Botstar

Botstar is a chatbot development platform that lets you build conversational bots for websites, Facebook Messenger, and other messaging channels without writing code. It uses a visual flow builder where you drag and connect conversation blocks, define user input handling, and set up integrations with external services.

The platform includes natural language processing (NLP) so bots can understand free-text responses rather than relying solely on button clicks. It also supports live chat handover, where the bot passes a conversation to a human agent when it hits the limits of what it can handle, along with the full conversation context.

Botstar connects to external systems through its built-in integrations and API. In an n8n workflow, you can use webhooks to trigger actions based on chatbot events, push conversation data to your CRM, or pull information from your databases into bot responses. If you want to build a customer-facing chatbot that connects to your business systems and handles real support or sales conversations, our AI agent development team can help design and deploy it.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Botstar

As Botstar consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Botstar with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Define your chatbot’s purpose and conversation scope

Before building, decide exactly what your bot should handle. Common starting points are answering FAQs, qualifying leads, booking appointments, or routing support requests. Document the conversation flows including questions, expected responses, and outcomes for each path.

Step 2

Build conversation flows in the visual editor

In Botstar’s flow builder, create your conversation blocks. Add the bot’s messages, user input options (buttons and free text), conditional logic for branching paths, and variables to store user responses. Start with your most common user path and expand from there.

Step 3

Train the NLP with example phrases

For each intent your bot needs to recognise, add example phrases that users might type. Include variations in wording, typos, and informal language. The more examples you provide per intent, the better the NLP performs at matching real user messages to the correct conversation path.

Step 4

Connect external data sources and webhooks

Add HTTP request blocks in your flows where the bot needs to pull or push data. Connect to your CRM to look up customer records, check inventory levels, or verify appointment availability. Set up outbound webhooks to n8n for events like lead capture or support ticket creation.

Step 5

Deploy and configure live chat handover

Publish your bot to your website and messaging channels. Configure handover rules that define when the bot should pass to a human agent. Set up agent notifications so your team knows when a handover is waiting, and test the full flow from bot greeting to human takeover.

Step 6

Review conversation logs and improve

After your bot goes live, regularly review conversation logs to find where users get stuck, where the NLP misclassifies intents, and where conversations drop off. Add new training phrases, adjust flows, and expand the bot’s capabilities based on real user interactions.
