Built-in messages

The built-in messages are pre-programmed messages sent automatically by ChatBot. You can find them by going to Settings > Messages.

Offline message

Notify the user when their message is sent outside of the scheduled office hours or all agents are offline.

  • Text formatting is supported.
  • Merge fields are supported.
  • To learn more about the office hours option, please click here.
  • The offline message is sent to the same user maximum 1 time per hour.
  • If the chatbot's human takeover feature is activated, the offline message is only sent during human takeover.
  • If you or any other agent is online using Slack, the offline message will not be sent.

Privacy message

Present a privacy message accompanied by Accept and Decline buttons. The user's approval by clicking on the Accept button is required to start using the chat. This feature ensures privacy policy enforcement and GDPR compliance.

  • The privacy message is not shown if the Require registration option has been enabled.
  • The privacy message is also sent to messaging channels like WhatsApp, but the user does not have the option to approve or decline the privacy policy. The messaging functionalities are not blocked either. The message is sent after the user initiates the conversation by sending their first message.

Pop-up message

Show a pop-up notification to all users.

  • The popup message is always shown until the user manually closes it; then it stays closed.

Welcome message

Send a message to new users when they visit the website for the first time.

  • Text formatting is supported.
  • Merge fields are supported.
  • Rich messages are supported.
  • The welcome message is not sent to slack.

  • Text formatting is supported.
  • Merge fields are supported.
  • If the delay is not set, a dynamic time interval is utilized and it is determined as follows: If Settings > Miscellaneous > Office hours is configured, and the current time falls within the defined office hours, or if at least one agent is online, then the delay will be set to 15 seconds. In all other cases, the delay will be set to 5 seconds.
  • Follow-up messages are sent a maximum of once every 24 hours.
  • If the user provides an email address and the newsletter feature is enabled, the email address will be subscribed.
  • The follow-up message is sent only to users without email address.
  • If the chatbot's human takeover feature is activated, the follow-up message is only sent during human takeover.
