A Bot That Extracts Data From Messages And Writes To Google Sheets
In this example, we'll show you how you can use a chatbot to collect and capture data in a Google Sheet. The bot is given a series of data points it needs to collect, and you can set a leading question to start the collection process, but beyond that, the bot behaves autonously looking to extract the data from messages it receives and asking all the right questions at the right time to collect data. For a demonstration, a bot will ask a SaaS founder a series of questions to learn about a startup. The user incentive to provide data is fueled by a valuation of the SaaS business that will be provided at the end.

Now see the chatbot in action as it works to collect the data by answering and asking questions. The bot will be persistant about collecting required data. If you give the bot reasonable responses, it will generate a valuation of the SaaS businesss using the data you provided.
You can imagine how this type of chatbot is ideal for lead generation. It replaces old-school forms with a more engaging and natural conversational experience to collect and incentivize users to provide data. You can share a direct link, embed this into a webpage, or embed a chat widget that pops up in the bottom corner of a webpage.
