WooCommerce AI Product Recommendations on WhatsApp | ZazzyAgent

A customer rarely says:

I want Product ID 1837.

They usually describe what they need.

For example:

I need something for a birthday gift under ₹3,000.

An AI Agent can understand the request and use your connected WooCommerce store to find suitable products.

What the AI Agent can do

A WooCommerce Sales Agent can:

• Understand customer requirements

• Ask useful follow-up questions

• Search products

• Recommend products

• Explain why a product matches

• Save customer preferences

• Hand high-intent customers to sales staff

What you need

Prepare:

• Connected WhatsApp

• Connected WooCommerce store

• AI Agent

• Product catalogue

• WooCommerce product recommendation action

Select the WooCommerce store

WooCommerce actions require the store to be configured first.

Use:

##woocommerce_store## : 12

Select your connected store through the System Prompt autocomplete.

Add product recommendations

Use:

##woocommerce_recommend_products##

This allows the AI Agent to search and recommend products from the connected store.

Ask useful questions

Don't force the customer through a long questionnaire.

Ask only what changes the recommendation.

For shoes:

• Type of shoe

• Intended use

• Size

• Budget

For electronics:

• Purpose

• Budget

• Required features

Example System Prompt

You are the Sales Agent for our WooCommerce store.

Help customers find products that match their needs.

Ask short follow-up questions when important information
is missing.

When the customer asks for product recommendations,
search the connected WooCommerce store.

##woocommerce_recommend_products##

Recommend only products returned by WooCommerce.

Do not invent products, prices, discounts, availability,
features, or specifications.

Explain briefly why the recommended product matches
the customer's requirements.

Example conversation

Customer:

I need headphones for office use.

Agent:

Sure. What's your approximate budget?

Customer:

Around ₹5,000.

Agent:

Do you prefer wireless headphones?

Customer:

Yes.

Now the agent has enough information to search for relevant products.

Don't recommend imaginary products

Your prompt should explicitly say:

Recommend only products returned by the connected store.

This prevents the agent from creating products that don't exist.

Don't invent prices

If the store returns:

₹4,999

the agent should use the actual information.

It should not say:

I can give you 20% off.

unless that discount is actually available.

Save product preference

You can combine product recommendations with customer data.

For example:

When the customer clearly identifies a product category
they are interested in, save it to the Product Interest field.

##save_custom_field## : 42

See How AI Agents Save Customer Information in ZazzyAgent.

Add a lead label

You could also classify a customer after strong purchase intent:

When the customer clearly indicates strong purchase intent,
add the High Intent label.

##add_label## : 12

See How to Add and Remove Customer Labels With ZazzyAgent AI Agents.

Hand high-intent customers to sales

A customer who says:

I want to buy this one today.

may benefit from a human sales representative.

You can configure:

When the customer clearly wants to purchase
and requires human sales assistance,
assign the conversation to the Sales team.

##assign_human_role## : 3

Product knowledge vs WooCommerce search

These have different purposes.

Knowledge

What does this product do?

WooCommerce

Which products currently match this customer's requirements?

Static information can come from your knowledge source.

Live products should come from your connected ecommerce store.

Common problems

No products are returned

Check:

• WooCommerce store is connected.

• Correct store is selected.

• Products exist.

• The customer has provided enough information.

Recommendations are irrelevant

Your prompt may need better instructions about what information should be collected before searching.

AI invents products

Add:

Only recommend products returned by WooCommerce.

AI invents stock

Don't let the AI make live availability claims unless the connected store/action actually provides that information.

A good recommendation workflow

The goal isn't to ask the customer 15 questions.

The goal is to understand enough to make a useful recommendation.
