Conversations that think in steps

Some chats need more than one reply — taking an order, qualifying a lead, collecting an address. The visual flow builder lets you design those multi-step conversations with branches, and run them automatically on WhatsApp.

F02.1 · What it is

Flow builder, explained

A flow is a guided conversation: ask a question, wait for the answer, branch based on it, collect details, then save the result or hand off to your team. You build it by connecting nodes on a canvas — 12 node types, from questions and buttons to conditions and handoffs.

Flows can start from a keyword, a button or a bot rule. Every answer is captured against the contact, so a finished flow becomes a lead, an order or a booking you can act on and export.

Without it
  • Customers drop off in long back-and-forth chats
  • Orders and leads arrive with missing details
  • Building a chatbot usually needs a developer
With Cosmos Connect
  • Guided steps with buttons keep customers moving
  • Every required detail captured before handoff
  • Drag-and-connect canvas — no code at all

F02.3 · Where it earns its keep

Real problems it solves

Restaurants & cloud kitchens

F02.5 · Questions
Do I need to know how to code?

No. Flows are built by connecting nodes on a canvas.

What's the difference between a bot rule and a flow?

A bot rule answers one message. A flow runs a multi-step conversation with branching and saves the answers.

Can a flow send data to my own system?

Yes. On Pro, a completed flow can trigger a webhook that posts the data to your CRM, sheet or app.
