TextIt

Teams that need a messaging bot on Facebook, WhatsApp or SMS without writing much code are the natural audience for TextIt.

TextIt is a no-code bot platform that lets you visually build and launch multichannel messaging bots.

The flow designer works by drag and drop, so a basic chatbot can come together in minutes rather than days.

Behind the flows sits a contact database where you create custom fields and track activity.

You can also run campaign automation and hand a conversation off to a human through tickets when the bot reaches its limit.

For connections to other systems, TextIt supports Zapier, Wit.ai and custom webhooks.

The Wit.ai link is the one to look at if you want language understanding in your bot.

Because one flow can serve several channels, you avoid rebuilding the same bot for each messaging app.
