For NGOs and mission-driven organisations

Chatbot journeys built for programme delivery.

We build and improve chatbot journeys, integrations, and reporting on Turn.io and RapidPro/TextIt, helping your team turn programme requirements into a working messaging experience.

Services

Scoped engagements, then ongoing support

Each engagement starts from a written scope with agreed deliverables and acceptance criteria, so you know what will be handed over before work begins.

Review and improvement plan

Review an existing chatbot, identify friction and technical gaps, and define a prioritised improvement plan.

Problem addressed

A chatbot has grown over time. It is unclear where participants drop off, which flows are fragile, or what to fix first.

Deliverables that can be agreed
  • Written review of journeys, configuration, and integrations
  • List of friction points and technical gaps
  • Prioritised improvement plan, with each item ready to scope

Journey build or improvement

Build or refine registration, surveys, content journeys, and other agreed workflows.

Problem addressed

Programme requirements exist in documents and spreadsheets but not yet as a working, tested journey.

Deliverables that can be agreed
  • Agreed journey specification
  • Built and tested journeys in your workspace
  • Test checklist matched to the acceptance criteria

Integrations and reporting

Connect chatbot workflows to relevant business systems and develop useful reporting.

Problem addressed

Chatbot data sits in the messaging platform, separate from the systems and reports your team relies on.

Deliverables that can be agreed
  • Agreed data mapping between the chatbot and named systems
  • Working integrations for the systems in scope
  • Reports or data exports defined at scoping

Migration and handover

Help move agreed journeys and integrations between platforms, with testing, documentation, and team handover.

Problem addressed

Moving between platforms risks broken flows and lost data, and can leave the team unsure how the new setup works.

Deliverables that can be agreed
  • Inventory of journeys and integrations to move
  • Rebuilt and tested journeys on the target platform
  • Documentation and a handover session with your team

Ongoing support

After handover, an ongoing support contract keeps your chatbot developing alongside the programme.

Problem addressed

Programmes change after launch. Content needs updating, new needs arise, and staff change, but a one-off build leaves no one responsible for keeping up.

What it can cover
  • Content support: updates to messages and journeys
  • Additional functionality as the programme develops
  • Training for your team
Delivery approach

How a scoped engagement runs

The same stages apply whether the work is a review, a new journey, an integration, or a migration.

  3. Step 03

  5. Then

Separate costs. Platform subscriptions, messaging charges, and hosting are scoped separately where applicable.

Your platform. Work is delivered in your existing Turn.io or RapidPro/TextIt workspace. You keep ownership of the journeys and documentation we hand over.

Reporting

Responsible use of AI in journeys

Where a programme adds AI services to a journey, we scope them with clear boundaries: participants are told when they are interacting with an automated system, and we help you choose suitable AI providers and models, build guardrails around what the AI can say, and monitor and evaluate its responses over time.

Capabilities differ between platforms, versions, and plans. We confirm what is possible on your workspace during scoping. Turn.io, RapidPro and TextIt are the property of their respective owners. BotFlow Dev is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

BotFlow Host

Need managed RapidPro infrastructure too?

BotFlow Dev handles the journeys and integrations. BotFlow Host operates dedicated RapidPro infrastructure, including monitoring, backups, upgrades, and recovery.

Development can be delivered on your existing platform. You do not need BotFlow Host to work with BotFlow Dev.
