How to Build a WhatsApp AI Chatbot with OpenClaw in Bangladesh

Why WhatsApp AI Chatbots Matter for Bangladesh Businesses

WhatsApp is the dominant messaging platform in Bangladesh — over 40 million active users. For businesses, this means your customers already live on WhatsApp. An AI chatbot on WhatsApp lets you provide instant 24/7 support without hiring a night shift.

With OpenClaw hosted on SNBD HOST, you can build a WhatsApp AI chatbot that answers questions using your product database, tracks orders, schedules appointments, and escalates complex issues to human agents — all without writing a single line of code.

What You'll Need

• An OpenClaw hosting plan on SNBD HOST (starts at ৳997/mo)
• A WhatsApp Business API account (via Meta Business Suite or a provider like Twilio/360dialog)
• An LLM API key (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or a local model)
• Your business knowledge base — product info, FAQs, pricing documents

Step 1: Set Up OpenClaw on SNBD HOST

If you haven't already, purchase an OpenClaw hosting plan. The Claw Starter (৳997/mo) handles most chatbot workloads. For high-volume businesses (500+ daily conversations), go with Claw Pro.

After purchase, SNBD HOST's 1-click installer deploys OpenClaw to your server automatically. You'll receive login credentials within 60 seconds.

Step 2: Connect WhatsApp Business API

In your OpenClaw dashboard, go to Integrations → WhatsApp. You'll need:

1. Your WhatsApp Business phone number ID
2. A permanent access token from Meta Business Suite
3. The webhook URL provided by OpenClaw (auto-configured with SSL on SNBD HOST)

OpenClaw handles incoming messages via webhooks and sends responses through the WhatsApp API automatically.

Step 3: Build Your AI Agent Workflow

Create a new workflow in OpenClaw with these nodes:

1. WhatsApp Trigger — receives incoming messages
2. AI Agent Node — processes the message with your chosen LLM
3. Knowledge Base Tool — gives the AI access to your product docs and FAQs
4. WhatsApp Response — sends the AI's reply back to the customer

For order tracking, add a Database Query Tool that lets the AI look up order status by phone number or order ID.

Step 4: Train Your AI with Business Context

Upload your FAQ documents, product catalogs, and support guidelines to OpenClaw's knowledge base. The AI will use this information to answer customer questions accurately.

Key tips for Bangladeshi businesses:

• Include Bangla language support in your system prompt if your customers message in Bangla
• Add your return policy, delivery timelines, and bKash/Nagad payment instructions
• Set up fallback messages for when the AI isn't confident — route to a human agent
