A Codeless Bot in Zoho SalesIQ is a chatbot created using the platform’s visual drag-and-drop flow builder, without writing any code. Operators or administrators design the bot’s conversation flow by connecting blocks representing messages, user input collection, conditional branches, and actions.<\/p>\n
Start by defining the bot’s purpose: lead qualification, FAQ answering, appointment booking, or issue triage. Map the conversation paths on paper first, then build them in the SalesIQ bot builder. Test the bot thoroughly with real visitor scenarios before going live, paying particular attention to how it handles unexpected inputs.<\/p>\n
Codeless bots suit straightforward, linear conversation flows. For complex conditional logic, database lookups, or custom API calls, the Deluge Bot (scripted) offers more power. Most businesses should start with a Codeless Bot and only graduate to scripted bots when the Codeless Bot’s limitations are genuinely constraining.<\/p>\n
A Codeless Bot can handle FAQ deflection, lead capture (collecting name, email, and phone), appointment booking flows, order status lookups (via pre-built integrations), and routing visitors to the right department. All of this is configured through drag-and-drop cards without writing any code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Use a Codeless Bot when your flows are straightforward and do not require conditional logic, external API calls, or dynamic data retrieval. Use a Deluge Bot when you need the bot to query a database, call an external API, apply complex branching logic, or perform calculations that go beyond what the visual card editor supports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
