WhatsApp and ChatGPT Integration ― Autoresponder for WhatsApp Conversations
TimelinesAI lets you set up a ChatGPT-powered auto-responder for your WhatsApp account without coding or external automation tools. This feature allows you to automate replies to incoming WhatsApp messages efficiently.
You can customize ChatGPT's responses by providing specific instructions in the prompt field. For example, you can include details about your business or adjust how ChatGPT responds to the first message in a conversation versus follow-up messages.
The auto-responder can be activated for specific chats or applied to all new chats, such as messages from new contacts or conversations you start. Once enabled, ChatGPT will automatically generate and send a response for each incoming message in the selected chats.
This functionality helps streamline your WhatsApp communication while ensuring consistent replies based on your instructions.
Let’s get started 🚀
We use ChatGPT's GPT-4o-mini model, which can process up to 4,096 tokens per request. To ensure context-aware and relevant responses, the system includes the 16 most recent WhatsApp messages from the conversation and the prompt.
The auto-responder supports most human languages, but response quality may vary depending on the language. Non-English responses may also use more tokens, which could affect processing limits.
The auto-response is activated 5 seconds after a message is received. This delay allows a human operator to respond manually before ChatGPT generates an automatic reply.
If ChatGPT is temporarily unavailable or under heavy load, the system will retry up to three times to get a response. This process may take up to 10 additional seconds, so there may be a short delay before the reply is sent.
If you experience any issues or need custom settings, you can contact us at support@timelines.ai for help.
By setting up the ChatGPT Autoresponder in TimelinesAI, you can automatically reply to incoming messages without any manual effort. This saves time, improves customer experience, and ensures personalized, prompt responses.
To enable the ChatGPT Autoresponder in TimelinesAI, you first need to obtain your ChatGPT API Key. This key is essential for connecting ChatGPT’s powerful AI capabilities with your TimelinesAI account.
In this demonstration, we will guide you on how to get the API key from ChatGPT.
By connecting your ChatGPT API Key with TimelinesAI, you can easily integrate ChatGPT’s AI features into your account. This connection enables TimelinesAI to automatically respond to incoming messages using ChatGPT's generative AI. Once set up, this integration helps save time by automating replies, improving communication, and ensuring you never miss important messages.
In this demonstration, you will learn how you can connect the ChatGPT API key with TimelinesAI.
Before using the ChatGPT’s auto-response settings, you need to be aware of the following settings. So, here are some settings you should know about.
ChatGPT Max Tokens: The word limit refers to the number of words from previous conversations and the current prompt ChatGPT can use to generate a response. It helps ensure accurate and relevant answers.
Chat History Word Limit: You can send a certain number of words from earlier chats to ChatGPT, along with your new question. This is the maximum amount of words that can be included.
Chat History Depth: This setting determines how many previous messages are shown to ChatGPT when it creates a response. It helps ChatGPT understand the conversation better and provide more accurate answers.
Auto-Response Override Delay: This is the time (in seconds) that you have to reply before ChatGPT automatically sends a response. If you don't reply in time, ChatGPT will respond by itself.
ChatGPT Temperature: This setting controls how creative ChatGPT's answers are. A higher number makes responses more different and creative, while a lower number makes them clearer and more focused on the topic.
ChatGPT Top_p: This setting controls how varied ChatGPT's answers are. It picks words based on their chance of being correct, balancing between random, creative responses and more certain, predictable ones.
ChatGPT Frequency Penalty: This setting controls how often specific words appear in ChatGPT's reply. A higher setting makes the response more unique and different, while a lower setting makes it more traditional or common.
ChatGPT Presence Penalty: This setting controls how much repetition occurs in ChatGPT's reply. A higher setting encourages using new words, while a lower setting makes the response repeat certain words more often.
You can enable the ChatGPT-powered WhatsApp Auto-Responder to automate replies and handle incoming messages efficiently when manual responses aren't possible. It will ensure seamless communication on your WhatsApp account.
You can enable a Chatgpt-Powered WhatsApp Auto-Responder to automate your WhatsApp account and automatically respond to incoming messages when you cannot respond to them manually.
Simply toggle on the ChatGPT option in the WhatsApp account.
You can also set up the ChatGPT-powered WhatsApp auto-responder for individual chats so that the responder automatically sends messages to the specific chat you have chosen and not to every other chat.
You just need to toggle the ChatGPT Auto-Response Enabled option in a specific chat.
You can generate a chat summary for any specific contact to quickly capture key details without going through the entire conversation. This feature helps in reviewing important points, tracking past interactions, and ensuring efficient follow-ups. It is especially useful for managing multiple chats and staying organized.
After clicking Summarize Chat, ChatGPT will generate a summary of the conversation, highlighting key points and important details. This summary helps quickly understand the context of the chat without going through each message individually.
When ChatGPT Auto-Response is active for your WhatsApp account or a specific chat, a ChatGPT Enabled label will appear next to the person’s name in the chat view.
Set up a filter to organize and view chats based on the auto-response setting. You can customize it to display only chats where auto-response is enabled, only those where it's disabled, or include both types for a complete overview.
In this demonstration , we will create a filter to organize and display chats based on their auto-response settings. This will allow us to view chats where auto-response is enabled, disabled, or all, depending on the selected preference.
ChatGPT works by processing and responding to instructions written in plain, human-readable language. While multiple languages are supported, English is recommended for maximum clarity and efficiency.
When ChatGPT replies in a conversation, it looks at the most recent messages to understand the context. It can use up to the last 16 messages to figure out the best response. These messages are organized in a specific format to help ChatGPT understand them better.
Example:
Remote: Hello! I am interested in custom software development, can you help me?
Me: Yes, we can help with custom software development. What kind of services are you looking for?
Remote: I would like to develop a mobile application
This ensures that ChatGPT provides relevant, context-aware responses. However, it’s essential to give clear and structured instructions to ensure the conversation flows smoothly.
Here are examples of generic instructions you can use to guide ChatGPT's behavior in a conversation:
Example 1: Continuation of an Ongoing Conversation
Continue conversation in the same language, on my behalf.
If this is not the first message, provide a response based on the context of the previous conversation.
Use short and clear answers
Example 2: Starting a New Conversation
If this is the first message, greet the Remote person politely and ask for their needs and contact details (e.g., full name, email).
Example 3: Role-Specific Instructions
We are an insurance agency. If this is the first message in the conversation, ask the Remote person about their needs and contact details (full name, email).
If the conversation is already ongoing, provide a response based on the context and use short phrases.
