What is the SendSeven Flow Builder?

The SendSeven Flow Builder is a visual editor for multi-step customer journeys. Teams build flows without code: from scratch, from a ready-made template or with the AI generator. Building blocks cover messages and approved WhatsApp templates sent straight from a flow, WhatsApp Flow forms, an AI agent step, API calls to external systems and the hand-off to your team. External systems can start a flow via Zapier, Make.com or n8n. The canvas reads left to right, sections keep large flows readable, a version history shows who changed what, and stats on every step show where contacts drop off. From EUR 79/month (Professional).

Three levers for real customer journeys

The right message at the right time on the right channel. Without anyone writing code.

  1. 01

    6 channels in one flow

    Welcome on WhatsApp, an email 24 hours later, an SMS if there's no reaction. All in one flow, fully automatic.

  2. 02

    Automated where it helps. Personal where it counts.

    An AI agent answers routine questions. When it gets tricky or the customer wants a person, your team takes over with full context.

  3. 03

    Live funnel, not guesswork

    Every step shows how many contacts arrive and how many drop off. So you see right away where to improve.

01

Multi-channel cascade in one flow

Welcome on WhatsApp, an email with matching products 24 hours later. Anyone who clicks gets a WhatsApp nudge to order. Anyone who doesn't gets an SMS reminder.

  • For welcome, cart recovery, win-back, birthdays and surveys
  • Branches by click, reply, tag or contact field
  • Waits from seconds to days
  • Starts on a shop event, keyword, schedule or new contact
02

Building blocks for every step, from sending to AI

Each block does one job: send, wait, branch or let the AI answer. Every possible outcome gets its own path.

  • Messages with images, video and buttons, WhatsApp templates and emails
  • If a message isn't delivered, the flow continues on another channel
  • An AI agent answers routine questions and hands off to your team
  • Connect your systems via API call, HubSpot or your own code
03

Large flows, still easy to read

A flow reads from left to right. Large flows split into named sections automatically, and the overview shows everything at a glance.

  • Sections appear automatically, and you can rename or merge them
  • Jump chips instead of long lines across the canvas
  • Find steps and sections by search
  • "Errors only" shows what still needs work

04

Just describe it, the AI builds the flow

Write what should happen. The AI builds a new flow from it or changes an existing one, and marks every change. Not quite right? One click undoes it all.

  • History of every change, earlier versions can be restored
  • Only one person edits at a time, so nothing gets overwritten
  • For developers: JSON view and API
  • AI edits use AI credits
05

Funnel per stage, replay per contact

For every step you see how many contacts arrive and where they drop off. For every contact you see what they received and did, and when.

  • Errors and stuck contacts at the top, with the reason
  • Numbers per channel: sent, delivered, opened, replied
  • Replay shows one contact's path on the canvas
  • Take single contacts out of the flow at any time

GDPR-compliant drip sequences

If a contact replies STOP on SMS or WhatsApp, the flow ends for them right away, with a confirmation if you like. Your team doesn't have to do a thing.

  • Unsubscribe link for every message, one click is enough
  • If a customer replies, the flow keeps going or your team takes over
  • Started twice? Block, restart or run in parallel

Flow settings

Behavior options for how this flow handles repeat triggers.

Re-entry policy
Cancel active runs for this contact and restart from the trigger.
When a contact replies

Choose how the flow handles inbound messages. Continue fits drip campaigns, Stop fits guided conversations.

Allow stop keyword

Contacts can reply STOP / UNSUBSCRIBE to leave the flow.

When enabled, an inbound STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, or CANCEL message via SMS or WhatsApp ends the flow for this contact. Useful for non-deterministic drip flows where the contact receives messages without explicit opt-in.

Frequently asked questions

What triggers does the Flow Builder support?
Manual API call for integrations from your own systems or tools like Zapier, Make, or n8n. Keyword trigger for inbound messages (the old Autoresponder concept, now with a Start-Flow action), or simply any incoming message. Conversation opened, assigned, or closed: closed covers post-ticket surveys, NPS asks, or auto-tagging after a service interaction. Contact created, updated, subscribed, or unsubscribed, filterable by source, changed field, or tag, for example only contacts synced from HubSpot. Schedule via the Scheduler for birthdays, RRULE recurrences, and segment sends. Comment received: a comment on your Instagram or Facebook post starts a comment-to-DM automation. Came from an ad: when a contact messages you from a Click-to-WhatsApp, Click-to-Messenger, or Click-to-Instagram ad, the flow starts automatically, matched to any ad or a specific one. And WhatsApp Flow completed: as soon as a customer submits a WhatsApp form, the next flow starts. Every trigger can follow your business hours, running only inside or only outside them, and the ready-made absence message template answers after hours.
Do I need developers to build a flow?
No. The Flow Builder is a visual editor with pre-built building blocks. Pick a block from the menu, connect it to the flow, configure the details. Or start from a ready-made template, or let the AI generator draft a flow from your description. Your marketing team builds welcome sequences, cart recovery, reactivation flows themselves. Code only comes in if you want it, for API calls to external systems or your own JavaScript.
How many channels can I combine in one flow?
All six send channels: WhatsApp, Email, SMS, Telegram, Messenger, and Instagram. A Send step can contain a sequence (for example, WhatsApp, then 5 seconds later Telegram as a fallback). Or you branch the flow with a condition based on which channel the contact actually has.
How does GDPR compliance work for drip sequences?
Per flow, you can enable opt-out keywords: if a contact replies STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE or CANCEL on SMS or WhatsApp (the globally established opt-out keywords), the flow ends for them instantly, optional confirmation message included. There's also the {{flow.stop_url}} variable for any message: a click cancels the flow without further input. Audit-safe and traceable.
What happens if a contact replies during the flow?
You pick one of two modes per flow. Continue the flow: replies open a normal conversation, the flow continues in parallel. Best for drip campaigns. Stop the flow: the reply cancels the flow and hands the conversation off to a human agent in the Unified Inbox. Best for guided conversations.
What happens if the same contact gets triggered twice?
Three re-entry policies are available. Block ignores the second trigger if the first is still running. Restart cancels the old run and starts a new one. Parallel runs both at the same time. Default is Block, the safest option for most use cases.
Is the Flow Builder available on every plan?
The Flow Builder is included from Professional (€79/month) through Scale and Enterprise. It isn't part of Basic (€49/month, no automation) or API Only. See plan details.
Can I start flows via API?
Yes. POST /flows/{id}/runs starts a flow for any contact from your own systems. Perfect for shop events (order completed, cart abandoned), CRM triggers, or custom integrations. The API also reads, creates and updates the flows themselves as JSON. See the API documentation for details.
Can I send approved WhatsApp templates in a flow?
Yes, with the "Send Template" block. Pick an approved message template and the flow auto-generates a separate path per quick-reply button (up to 3), plus a fallback path (the customer types instead of tapping) and a timeout path. Because a real template is sent, delivery works even outside the 24-hour window, reliable for win-back and drip sequences. Buttons are translated automatically for Telegram, Messenger, Instagram, SMS, and email, so your branches behave the same on every channel. No approved template yet? The free WhatsApp Template Generator validates your draft before submission.
Can a flow react to free-text replies, without buttons?
Yes. The "Last reply text" flow variable automatically holds the contact's most recent reply, no contact field needed. Conditions and branches support the operators "is one of", "is not one of", and "contains any of": add keywords like "no, nope, not interested" and the flow routes matching replies down the right path, ignoring casing and extra spaces. Collect Input can also store its result in a flow variable instead of a contact field.
Can I draft flows with my own AI tool?
Yes. The flow format spec describes every step type, field and variable, and it starts with a ready-to-copy prompt for your AI tool. Paste the result into the JSON view: live checks show right away whether every step fits, and the canvas shows the flow as soon as you switch back. Inside the editor, the built-in AI Assistant does the same without copy and paste. AI edits in the editor use AI credits.
Can I create and update flows via the API?
Yes, from Professional. The API reads, creates and updates flows as JSON, with the same checks as the editor. If a flow doesn't fit, the response lists the problem per step, so your script or AI tool knows exactly what to fix. Details in the API documentation and the flow format spec.
Can several people work on the same flow?
Yes, one at a time. Whoever is editing holds the flow; teammates see it read-only and can ask to edit or take over. That way nobody overwrites someone else's changes. Every save lands in the History with its author and source (canvas, JSON or AI Assistant). You see what changed in a diff and can restore an earlier version after a confirmation.

More revenue. Loyal customers. Less effort.

Marketing, customer service or HR: every team builds its own flows, without code and across every channel.
