NGOs increasingly work with diverse audiences — beneficiaries, volunteers, community members, partners, and donors. Reaching them at scale often requires easy, accessible, automated communication.

While web forms and helplines serve a purpose, modern engagement demands conversational, mobile-first experiences.

This is where Typebot becomes a powerful tool for NGOs.


What Is Typebot?

Typebot is a no-code, open-source conversational form builder that lets NGOs create WhatsApp and web-based chat experiences — completely self-hosted and privacy-friendly.

It brings chatbot-style interaction without needing AI or complex development.


Why Typebot Works So Well for NGOs

1. Chat-Based Forms Increase Participation

Communities, frontline staff, and volunteers are more likely to interact with a chat interface than long text forms.

Use cases:

  • Program feedback
  • Grievance redressal
  • Helpline flows
  • Beneficiary onboarding
  • Volunteer registration
  • Event sign-ups
  • Awareness campaigns

2. Works on WhatsApp & Web

Most communities already use WhatsApp daily.
Typebot helps NGOs reach people in a format they’re already comfortable with.

3. Fully Customisable

Add:

  • Buttons
  • Images
  • Conditional logic
  • Multi-step workflows
  • External API calls

This makes it easy to build program-specific engagement flows without coding.

4. 100% Self-Hosted

Perfect for NGOs concerned about:

  • Data privacy
  • Donor compliance
  • Beneficiary confidentiality

No third-party vendor stores your data.

6. Integrates With Your MIS & ERP Systems
