Trigger

Using the Trigger Action Block, your bot is always ready and eager to engage with visitors - proactively initiating conversations without any prerequisite conditions.

With no-code bot builder, businesses have access to a powerful and innovative way of creating chatbots. The trigger action block allows users to craft their own rules specifying when each bot should be used.

There are three ways in which you can define this rule:

1. Date Range - If you want the bot to trigger on a specific date or on selected days.

2. Browser Language - If the visitor has set their browser language to what you have defined.

3. URL - If the visitor lands on specific URLs. You can even include/exclude a group of URLs.

Setting up the block:

There are two options available:

1. Add filters to trigger this bot only on certain condition(s): This option is provided in-case if you have multiple bots in your account. You can enable this option and define the conditions based on the bot’s flow is to triggered.

2. Store / Inject other values into variables: You can map the query parameters, or inject data to the code snippet via JSON payload to store the data into variables which later can be used in the flow.

Step 1: Trigger block is by default the first action block to be present on the bot builder canvas.

Step 2: Configure it on the right panel. Click on 'Trigger action block' to open up the configuration panel on the right side of the screen. Here you will be able to see three rules:

1. Date range

2. Browser language

3. URLs

Follow the steps below to set-up the trigger conditions for your bot:

Step 2.1: Choose the operator.

A list of languages will be displayed from which you can select as per your choice.

By URL:

Here the user can define a bot to trigger on specific web pages of their website where the code snippet is present.

For instance: if the user wants to trigger the bot only on a specific page, then the user can just mention the respective page name after “ / ” as shown in the above screenshot.
