Chat bot ยท Interaction # An AI chatbot for lead generation, behind your QR code An AI chatbot for lead generation talks with each person who scans, answers their questions and asks for the details you need. In a Chat bot step, an agent you build does it in your page theme, and every answer is saved on the visitor like a form field. [Start free](https://app.linkbreakers.com/workspace/sign-up/wizard?ref=workflow-steps-chat-bot)[See every step](https://linkbreakers.com/workflow-steps) What it does ## How the QR code chatbot qualifies leads Pick or create an agent: its role, its tone and what it knows. Then list what it should learn, up to 10 items: an email, a phone number, a name, a number, a date, one of a few choices, or a yes or no to your marketing emails. Each answer is saved on the visitor like a form field. The chat ends when every required answer is known, when the visitor skips, or when they reach the message limit you set. Then the workflow goes on. A visitor whose required answers are already known can go straight on, without chatting again. What you end up with A conversation instead of a form, with the same result: a person you know, with the answers you need on their profile. Use it when * Your visitors have questions before they give their details. * A form feels too cold: a guest says what they like and the agent asks the rest. * You want to qualify a lead in a few messages: their budget, their timing, what they need. Worked example ## A yard sign that learns what each buyer wants 1. 1Create an agent with the Lead qualifier role and give it the listing details as knowledge. 2. 2Add a Chat bot step and list what it should learn: email (required), budget as a number, and timing as one of a few choices. 3. 3Connect Completed to a Visitor Data condition on budget, and Not completed to the listing page. Buyers ask their questions on the spot, and you get their email, budget and timing on one profile. How it fits ## Where the chat sits in a workflow The chat usually comes right after the scan. Completed means every required answer is known; Not completed covers a skip, the message limit or no credits left, and follows Completed when you leave it unconnected.

Pick an agent or create one: name, role, tone and knowledge. Changes to an agent apply to every step that uses it. What the agent should learn Up to 10 items, at least one required: Text, Email, Phone, Number, Date, One of a few choices, or Marketing consent (yes or no). Each has a short explanation for the agent. Opening message (optional) Up to 500 characters. Leave it empty and the agent greets visitors in its own words. Messages a visitor can send From 3 to 30, 15 by default. Past it, the chat ends and the visitor moves on. Skip when already known On by default: a visitor whose required answers are on their profile goes straight to Completed. Show a skip button On by default, labelled "Skip". Leaving the chat takes the Not completed path. ### Where visitors go next Completed Every required answer is known, from the chat or from the visitor's profile. Not completed The visitor skipped, reached the message limit, or the workspace ran out of credits. It follows Completed when unconnected.

A clear answer is kept as proof. FAQ ## QR code chatbot questions Can a QR code open an AI chatbot? Yes. Add a Chat bot step to the QR code's workflow and one of your agents greets the visitor right after the scan. What does the chatbot collect? Up to 10 items you list: an email, a phone number, a name, a number, a date, one of a few choices, or a yes or no to your marketing emails. Each answer is saved on the visitor. How much does the chatbot cost? Each message the agent answers uses platform credits, with a fixed cap per message. Every plan includes monthly credits, and visitors never pay. What happens when the workspace runs out of credits? Visitors skip the chat and the workflow goes on down the Not completed path, so the QR code keeps working.
