Facebook Messenger Chatbot-building made easy!

PROS

Of all the things Chatfuel brings to the table the one I consider my favorite one is its Drag-and-Drop builder for creating chatbots. No coding or any special skill required, simply click on a button, select the options that you prefer and set that up. Then, repeat the same process to add additional steps to your chatbot... it doesn't get much easier than that!

CONS

Chatfuel focuses on Facebook Messenger only but it would be great to be able to leverage some of its chatbot features somewhere else, like on my website, for example. It's clear that the company decided to focus on a specific platform, and that's ok, but the idea of potentially rely only on one tool for all things chatbots...

A good chatbot for your Facebook messages!

PROS

We signed up for the paid program because we had very good results with the free trial. It is a fairly cheap plan and the chat is quite decisive. It allows us to serve our customers quickly and effectively.

CONS

Sometimes some customers are not satisfied with the answers but it happens with all chatbots.

A product that could give much more

Overall experience little more than adequate. The few publishing channels available and the mixed approach between blocks and flows makes the work fragmented and not optimized, which is a shame.

PROS

From the beginning, I appreciated the ease of use and organization of the work area. Initially, it was among the first platforms to allow integration with external systems to create interesting automations and webviews.

CONS

Chatfuel's pace of growth could certainly be greater. The flow designer arrived years after the various competitors and, all today, is lacking in some functionalities. The block approach is still standing, but the platform should instead turn and convert completely to the flow designer.

Great chat bot tool for beginners

This is a solid tool for building your first bots. It also has a free plan, which is what I used first to get started. I like the straight-forward approach and simple interface. It's easy to create a bot and you can take it into different directions. Plenty of documentation available as well. Overall this is a good tool, definitely one of the better chat bot tools I've personally tested. Worth checking out in my opinion.

PROS

I found this a very straight-forward chat bot tool for beginners. I was new to building chat bots but found this easy to work with. My first chat bot worked just the way I expected and I even got inspiration to make it more advanced. It all seemed do-able thanks to the step by step instructions. Other tools I've tried had more settings and options, making it a little more complicated. Chatfuel keeps things simple and also has advanced features if you want to use them.

CONS

It's not as advanced as other tools on my first inspection but pretty much does most of the things you would want to achieve with a bot. So overall there's not much to dislike here.

Good for Messenger

Overall the conclusion is that you can build only simple chatbots. I don't recommend chatfuel for complex chatbots but highly recommended for prototyping bots. You can build use some available templates to build bots.

PROS

Chatfuel is easy to use and deploy a chatbot on messenger in a few mins. Best chatbot development platform for Facebook messenger bot as it allows user to one-click sign up with your Facebook account and many pre-built chatbot templates as well. Best of beginner and a non-techie guy to start building their messenger bot. An important thing is, You can build your chatbot for free.

CONS

You can deploy your chatbot on Facebook only and personally I don't like this. Also, you need a Facebook account to sign-up and build a messenger bot. You cannot build any complex chatbots on chatfuel. NLP is not good enough as it should be. Sometimes my bot failed to recognize the user's inputs and does not respond. Documentation is also poor. There is no support for subroutines, jumping around a conversation.

PROS

- speed of the implementation- customer support- ability to customize the product

CONS

Did not notice any. Probably the only one that the implementation required a good time contribution from our side as well

Create your own chat bot

PROS

The integration with Facebook messenger is really convenient. The visual builder is easy to use and the randomization option is useful.

CONS

The mid-pandemic changes in tiered pricing was inconvenient for a non-profit on a limited budget.

Chatfuel, le meilleur

Bien que Chatfuel soit un logiciel coûteux pour des personnes avec de budget limité, c'est un outil très puissant pour la conception de chatbots pour tous; même ceux qui n'ont pas de compétences en programmation.

PROS

Chatfuel est simple d'utilisation. Il permet aux personnes non techniques de pouvoir créer facilement et rapidement des chatbots de manière intuitive. De plus, vous pouvez le relier à plusieurs d'autres plateformes dans le but de rendre performant votre chatbot.

CONS

La version gratuite de Chafuel présente parfois des limitations à des paramètres avancés. Ce qui nécessite d'allouer un budget souvent élevé pour bénéficier entièrement du logiciel.

Util pero difícil de implementar

Fue muy útil en una época, pero creo que ahora hay software que hacen el mismo trabajo de una forma más fácil y dedicarle menos tiempo.

PROS

Se pueden crear respuestas automatizadas para atención al cliente, crear un flujo de procesos para llevar al cliente a la compra, enviar broadcast en facebook, Instagram y otras aplicaciones

CONS

Es muy complejo de usar, el entorno gráfico es un poco complejo, sacarle provecho a todas las utilices es un poco difícil

Reasons for switching to Chatfuel

Sendpulse es más económico y más fácil de usar; también tiene otras utilidades que no tiene Chatfuel

Gets The Job Done

Our team is a skeleton crew. Chatfuel makes managing our incoming Facebook messages possible by guiding the conversations and sending notifications to our team members when appropriate. Chatfuel gets the job done to answer routine questions.

PROS

Not having to know coding was a huge plus in selecting Chatfuel. I also really like that you can duplicate messaging tracks for multiple Facebook pages, which saves time when you're setting up several channels.

CONS

I didn't find Chatfuel to be completely intuitive. Setting up our messaging journey was time-consuming.

Automation for everyone

Great bot for various easy tasks.

PROS

I created a chatbot that assists with many common questions and tasks with minimal work from employees. I recommend this service to many people.

CONS

It would be great to provide the service without Facebook as website visitors are increasingly more hesitant to interact with Facebook.
