BotStar includes a visual builder called Canvas that comes with a drag-and-drop interface. Hence, you can easily create chatbot flows and get an overview of their structure. Plus, it allows you to test the chatbot flows before publishing it.

Actually, on the left side of the chat builder, there are various elements that help you to create content-rich and interactive flows. The supported chatbot elements are as follows:

• Images,
• Video,
• Audio,
• Attachments,
• Buttons,
• Emojis,
• Gallery,
• Persistent menu,
• Quick replies,
• Email, phone number, and data validation.

Note that it does not have location sharing and delays. But it enables you to send responses to members who use certain keywords. Also, you can connect the chatbot to Facebook Ads, automatically reply to Facebook comments, and generate a custom URL for your bot.

CMS is one of the special features of BotStar. With this, you can create and manage digital content for your chatbots without much effort. In fact, it lets you create an interface from where your consumers can browse through products/ services conveniently.

Customizing the appearance of the chatbot is a basic thing, but BotStar doesn’t stop there. It enables you to add custom fields to specific users and attaches tags to them based on their actions.
