Smart Chat Automations Triggered Instantly
From keyword-based triggers to business hours rules, automate how every WhatsApp conversation is handled, assigned, and responded to — right inside Chakra
Trigger Actions from Any Keyword
- Flexible Match Strategies - Choose how keywords are matched — exact, starts with, or contains — so your triggers fire precisely when intended, not on every message.
- Multiple Keywords, One Trigger - Add multiple OR-based keywords to a single trigger, so any one of them can activate the same automation without duplicate rules.
- Conditional Rule Filters - Stack additional conditions on top of keyword matches — filter by contact attributes, chat state, or custom fields for pinpoint accuracy.
- Powerful Trigger Actions - When a trigger fires, execute multiple actions in sequence — assign to a chatbot, route the chat, update a lead, or send a message automatically.

Automate Every Default Chat Scenario
- New vs Existing Chats - Set different automation behaviour for first-time contacts versus returning customers — so each conversation gets the right response from the start.
- Business Hours Logic - Configure separate flows for within and outside business hours — auto-reply, assign to a bot, or set expectations when your team is unavailable.
- No-Keyword Fallback - Define what happens when no keyword is matched — never leave a chat unhandled due to a missing trigger rule.
- Always-On Coverage - Combine scenario automations to ensure every incoming chat — regardless of time, contact type, or message ; triggers the right next step.

Flexible Chatbot and Custom Triggers
- Auto-Reply Chatbot Trigger - Automatically launch a chatbot the moment a chat comes in — ideal for instant qualification, FAQs, or lead capture without agent involvement.
- Custom Automation Rules - Build advanced trigger logic with full control over conditions and actions — design end-to-end chat automation tailored to your exact workflow.
- Manual Chatbot Trigger - Agents can manually trigger a chatbot from the chat inbox at any point in a conversation — handing off to automation exactly when it makes sense.
- Advanced Chatbot Settings - Use Start, STOP, Restart Chatbot actions using keywords. Add Chatbot time-based expiry automation with custom expiry message.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WhatsApp chat trigger and how does it work?
A chat trigger is a rule you set up once — when a customer sends a specific keyword or message, it automatically takes an action like sending a reply, starting a chatbot, or assigning the chat to the right team member. No manual effort needed every time.
Can I set up different automated responses for business hours and after hours?
Yes. You can create separate automation flows for when your team is available and when they're not — so customers always get a relevant response, whether it's an instant reply during work hours or a "we'll get back to you" message at night.
What happens if a customer messages something that doesn't match any keyword?
You can set a fallback automation that handles any message that doesn't match a trigger. This means no incoming chat ever goes unhandled, even if the customer's message doesn't contain a keyword you've defined.
Can I set different automations for first-time customers vs returning ones?
Yes. You can configure separate trigger rules for new contacts and existing customers, so each group gets a response that makes sense for where they are in their journey with your business.
Can my team still take over a chat that's being handled by an automation?
es. Agents can manually trigger or stop a chatbot from the inbox at any point. So if a customer needs a human, your team can step in and take over the conversation mid-flow without any disruption.
