Clicking the button will open the Flow Builder. Here, you can build the complete flow for your WhatsApp Catalogue.

To start creating your flow, you first need to add Keywords that will trigger the Catalogue flow.

Enter common keywords like Shop, products, e-commerce depending on what your users enter most to ensure the catalogue gets triggered.

In the below image, we've added 'hi' as the keyword that will trigger the catalogue flow. So, whenever someone sends you a 'hi' on your WhatsApp Business API number, the flow will automatically get trigerred.

8. Create the Flow

You can use a series of options including Text, Quick Replies, Images, List, Section List, Single Product & Multi-product.

Here's a small description of each of these so you can use them effectively:

• Text Replies: These are simple text replies that you can send users depending on your Catalogue flow.

• Quick Replies: You can enter three quick reply buttons that users can click to send you the exact text mentioned in the button.

• Image: Use this if you wish to send an image of your product/s.

• List: Use List to provide users the option to select from multiple products in your store.

• Section List: If you offer products under multiple categories e.g. Jeans, Tees, Sweaters etc, use Section list. Section list works just like Lists but allows you to add multiple categories & products within it.

• Single Product: Use this if you want to send only a single product to the user along with the product image & checkout link.

• Multi-Product: Use this if you wish to send images & checkout link of multiple products in a single message.
