Getting Started

BotReply connects to your WhatsApp number and answers customer messages 24/7 with smart, AI-powered replies. Follow these five steps to launch your first AI agent and start auto-replying instantly.

1

Create your account

Sign up at botreply.in with your work email. Each business account is a tenant with its own isolated workspace, agents, and knowledge base. Your free plan includes one agent and a monthly message quota — no credit card required.

2

Connect WhatsApp

Link your number via the Meta Cloud API. Configure the webhook endpoint in your Meta App dashboard so incoming messages are routed to BotReply for processing.

meta-webhook-config.json
# Webhook configuration

Verify Token: META_WEBHOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN
API Version: v21.0

3

Create your first agent

Define an AI agent with a persona, model provider, and behavior rules. Choose from sales, support, booking, or custom agent types. Then create it via the API or the dashboard wizard.

create-agent.sh
POST /api/agents
{
  "name": "Sales Assistant",
  "agent_type": "sales",
  "model_provider": "openai",
  "model_name": "gpt-4o"
}
4

Upload your knowledge base

Add products, FAQs, policies, documents, or website URLs.BotReply automatically extracts text, chunks it into ~512-token segments, embeds them with pgvector, and makes them searchable via the RAG pipeline — so your agent answers from your real data.

5

Go live

Publish your agent to snapshot its config and link it to your WhatsApp channel. From this moment, every incoming message is handled automatically — answering questions, capturing leads, and only handing off to a human when an escalation rule triggers.
