If you’re a business that offers financial services (Finserv) like loans and mutual funds, then you may often receive questions on your policy details, claim requests, quote requests, etc. With the Finserv bot template, you can automate handling these requests and provide a callback option when customers request more details. 


Depending on the kind of services you provide, you can tweak the Finserv bot template to suit your needs. For example, you can modify existing flows, add more dialogs depending on your use case, use the Answers module for handling FAQs, and more. You can also customize your bot to match your brand and deploy it on the self-service widget. 


The finserv bot template covers the most common flows for the following services:


  • Life Insurance

  • Vehicle Insurance

  • Home loans

The following are to be considered if you’re deploying this bot template for your business:


API Library: The default API endpoints that come with the template are dummy. Make sure to remove the dummy URLs, response parameters, payload content, and update the API library with your business’ APIs.


Placeholder: Responses in the bot flow are static because no placeholders were used. Depending on whether responses to the questions are fetched from an external source (through APIs), make sure to replace the dummy static responses with placeholders of the response parameters.


Authenticating using OTP: All the relevant flows, by default, have the native OTP authentication enabled for ensuring secure transactions/conversations. To use the native OTP auth functionality, read this article.
