Maths Calculations:

Here are some code snippets you can use to perform mathematical calculations within the chatbot flow:

Parameter	Snippets	Description
Summation (Addition)	const additionResult = num1 + num2;	Num 1 and Num 2 can be any number or a variable containing a numeric value. The result will be stored in the additionResult variable.
Subtraction (Minus)	const additionResult = num1 - num2;	Num 1 and Num 2 can be any numeric value or a variable containing a number. The result will be saved in the additionResult variable.
Division (Divide)	const additionResult = num1 / num2;	Num 1 and Num 2 can be any numeric value or a variable containing a stored number. The result will be stored in the additionResult variable.
Multiplication (Multiple)	const additionResult = num1 * num2;	Num 1 & Num 2 can be any number or variable which has a number stored in it The result will be stored in additionResult variable

Rendering values into variables:

Here are some snippets you can use to dynamically render values in variables.

Parameter	Snippet	Example
Set Variable (Conversation)	cx.setConversationVariable(“variable_name”,”variable_value”); Or replycx.setConversationVariables({“variable_name”:”variable_value”})	cx.setConversationVariable(“name_wn”,”ABC”); Or replycx.setConversationVariables({“t1”:”123”})
Set Variable (Contact)	cx.setContactVariable(“variable_name”,”variable_value”); Or replycx.setContactVariables({“variable_name”:”variable_value”})	cx.setContactVariable(“name_wn”,”ABC”); Or replycx.setContactVariables({“t1”:”123”})

String Modification:

Here are some snippets you can use to determine the length of a string or extract a portion of its value.

Parameter	Snippet	Example
Length of String	const lengthOfString = “variable_name”.length();	const lengthOfString = “some_string_content”.length(); //Output: 19 Calculates the number of characters passed/present in the value
Get part of a string	const partOfString = “variable_name”.slice();	const partOfString = “some_string_content”.slice(5); Note: We need to pass the starting index from where we need to get the sub-string. The index starts from 0. //Output: string_content Commonly used to pass the phone number without country code

Triggering day-based flow:

Here is a snippet you can use to trigger the flow based on a specific day.

Parameter	Snippet	Description
Get current date	const currentDate = new Date();	Helps retrieve today's date.
Check if From date should be more than To date	isFromDateBeforeToDate(fromDate, toDate) { const fromDateObj = new Date(fromDate); const toDateObj = new Date(toDate); return fromDateObj < toDateObj; }	Helps to trigger the day-specific flow.

Triggering and monitoring events in Google Analytics or any other analytics tool:

Here is a snippet you can use to log or track events in Google Analytics or any other analytics tool.

Tool	Snippet	Example
Google Analytics 4	window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag() { window.dataLayer.push(arguments); } gtag("js", new Date()); gtag("config", "YOUR-MEASUREMENT-ID"); gtag("event", "YOUR-EVENT-NAME", { "send_to": "YOUR-MEASUREMENT-ID" // Additional parameters that you may want to pass });	window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag() { window.dataLayer.push(arguments); } gtag("js", new Date()); gtag("config", "123"); gtag("event", "Replycx_Test", { "send_to": "123", "name": "Test", "phone": "123456789", });
