How to Use Event Messages in Comm100 Chatbot

You can use the Event Messages available in the Chatbot menu to handle various scenarios. It can be a message when a visitor starts a chat, a message when visitors rate an answer as not helpful, a message when the Chatbot could not recognize the visitor's question, and so forth.

Scenario for trigger 

Description 

Message when a visitor starts a chat

This message appears at the beginning of the chat and is triggered when the Chatbot gets the chat. 

It is essential to set this message carefully to set the right expectation. It can help to drive the course of conversation during the chat. You can customize the message differently for the different channels on which you are using the Chatbot. 

Message when a visitor's question is not recognized 

The Chatbot may not have an answer for all questions that your visitors might ask. This message triggers when the Chatbot does not have an answer to their question. 

You can ask the visitor to connect with an agent for help with his questions. 

Other messaging channels, like WeChat, WhatsApp, and SMS, do not have this check box as buttons are unavailable. To make the Contact an Agent option work, create a smart trigger. 

To learn more about smart triggers, see this article. 

Message when a visitor rates an answer as not helpful 

All answers that the Chatbot provides might not help your visitors.  
This message triggers when the visitor rates the Chatbot's answer as not helpful. 

You should add the message so that it pacifies the unhappy visitor and ease the agent's task who gets the chat when it is transferred. 

This message only works in the Live Chat channel. In other channels, there is no way for visitors to rate an answer.
