What is Typebot?

Typebot lets you assemble a chat flow from more than 34 blocks: message bubbles, inputs such as email, dates, file uploads and Stripe payments, conditional logic, A/B tests and JavaScript. Integrations include webhooks, OpenAI, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make.com and Chatwoot. Bots can be themed with custom CSS, put on a custom domain, embedded as a popup, bubble or container, or driven over HTTP. Results show drop-off and completion rates and export to CSV. Seven interface languages are available.

Good fit if

  • You want lead capture or onboarding that feels like a conversation rather than a static form.
  • You need to embed chat flows in your own site without iframes.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need general back-office automation between apps rather than chat front ends: Activepieces or Node-RED.
  • You want an OSI-licensed tool: Activepieces core is MIT.

Before you adopt it

Typebot switched from AGPL-3.0 to the Functional Source License in September 2024. FSL is source-available, not open source by the OSI definition: it bars offering a competing product, and each release turns into Apache-2.0 later. No paid parts were found in the repository; the founder funds work through the managed cloud. Its founder, Baptiste, writes most of the commits. Self-hosting uses Docker with PostgreSQL and Redis.
