Quick Start Guide
Let's get your first chatbot up and running in just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through the essential steps from creation to deployment.
Step 1: Create a Chatbot
After signing up and logging into your dashboard, you'll be prompted to create your first chatbot.
- Click the "Create Chatbot" button.
- Give your chatbot a name (e.g., "Acme Inc. Support").
- This will take you to the dashboard for your new chatbot.
Step 2: Add to Your Knowledge Base
A chatbot is only as smart as the data it's trained on. Let's add your first data source.
- Navigate to the Knowledge Base tab from the sidebar.
- Click the "Add Source" button.
- Choose a source type. For a quick test, Website URL is a great option. Paste the URL of your company's FAQ or support page.
- Blynk will automatically start scraping, parsing, and training on the content. You can monitor the status in the data sources table.
You can add multiple data sources! The chatbot will use information from all of them to answer questions.
Step 3: Customize & Test
Before deploying, you can tailor the look and feel of your chatbot.
- Go to the Customization tab.
- Adjust the chatbot's name, subtitle, color, and theme.
- Use the live preview on the right to interact with your chatbot and test its knowledge. Ask it a question you know is covered in the data source you added.
Step 4: Embed on Your Website
Once you're happy with your chatbot, it's time to add it to your website.
- Go to the Embed & Share tab.
- Copy the provided script tag.
<script
src="https://blynk.chat/widget.js"
data-chatbot-id="YOUR_CHATBOT_ID"
defer>
</script>Paste this code snippet right before the closing </body> tag in your website's HTML. That's it! The chatbot widget will now appear on your site.
