This is the primary question the bot will ask the customer. The question is sent along with any replies to existing inbound messages from the contact, ensuring seamless conversation continuity.
Each Conversation AI Action creates two default branches:
Time Out:
The contact does not reply within the specified time.
No Condition Met:
The contact replies within the time limit, but none of the defined conditions are met.
You can also create new branches by defining:
Branch Name: A unique identifier for the branch.
Condition: The criteria that must be met for the contact to follow this path.
Use the Advanced Bot Configuration toggle to customize:
Personality: Define the bot’s tone, e.g., friendly, professional, etc.
Additional Instructions: Provide specific guidance for handling responses.
The bot’s prompt is created using:
Personality
Additional Instructions
The question for the contact
Context from bot training
Previous conversation history
Select the communication channel for the bot's message:
SMS
Facebook Messenger
Here’s how the process flows:
Prompt Generation:
The bot generates a prompt using the configured personality, instructions, and context.
Message Sent:
The bot sends the message to the contact via the selected channel.
Wait for Reply:
The bot waits for a reply within the time frame configured in the action.
Branching:
If no reply is received, the workflow follows the Time Out branch (ideal for follow-ups).
If a reply is received but does not meet any conditions, it follows the No Condition Met branch.
If a condition is met, the workflow follows the respective branch.
Use GOTO actions within branches to loop back or guide the workflow based on responses.
