The listing guideline
The rules are built into the conversation, so a listing can't be finished with a required field missing.
- Instant
Sale alerts
Every sale arrives as a Telegram message with the item's sold / unsold status.
(01)The challenge
Every listing had to follow a strict guideline, and the details kept changing.
Keeping up meant long stretches at a laptop, clicking through WooCommerce admin screens. And when something sold, there was no instant way to know.
(02)What we discovered
The work wasn't complicated. It was tied to a desk.
If a listing could be built as a conversation on the phone, the guideline could live inside that conversation, so a listing couldn't be finished without following it.
(03)The approach
Turn the guideline into a guided conversation
The bot asks for each required detail in the guideline's order, one step at a time, so no field gets skipped.
Check everything before it reaches the store
Each answer is validated as it's entered, and any detail can be changed in the chat before or after publishing.
Close the loop
Products publish and update on the store straight away, and sales come back to the same chat as notifications.
(03b)How it works
From chat to checkout.
Upload in Telegram
The owner starts a new listing from the chat on their phone.
Guided details
The bot walks through the listing guideline, collects every required field and validates each answer. Details can be edited in the chat.

Sale notification
