WhatsApp Flows (Meta Flows)
WhatsApp Flows are Meta's native interactive forms that run inside WhatsApp — no external links needed.
What are WhatsApp Flows?
Unlike chatbot flows (which are AIsoule's automation), WhatsApp Flows are Meta's built-in form system:
- Multi-step forms inside WhatsApp
- Native UI (not a web link)
- Data validation built-in
- Seamless user experience
Use cases
- Lead capture forms
- Appointment booking
- Customer surveys
- Order forms
- Registration forms
Managing Flows in AIsoule
- Go to Settings → WhatsApp Flows
- You can:
- View existing flows synced from Meta
- Create new flows
- Edit flow JSON
- Publish flows
- Duplicate flows
Creating a Flow
- Click "New Flow"
- Enter:
- Name — Descriptive name
- Categories — What the flow is for
- Build the flow using JSON structure (Meta's Flow JSON format)
- Click "Save to Meta" to submit
- Click "Publish" when ready
Sending a Flow in chat
Flows are sent as interactive messages:
- In a conversation, use a template with a Flow button
- Or send via the API with the flow_id
Tips
- Keep forms short — 3-5 fields max per screen
- Use validation — Prevent invalid data entry
- Test on mobile — Flows render differently on different phones
- Combine with chatbot — Use chatbot to trigger flows at the right moment
