Smart Triggers

Smart triggers are the instructions for the chatbot to perform certain actions based on pre-defined conditions. It lets you define certain rules to have specific actions automatically. For example, you can instruct the chatbot to automatically forward the chat to a live agent by setting up the following conditions:

  • When the word "live agent" or “human” occurs in a visitor's question or
  • When the visitor belongs to a VIP group or any specific region.
  • When the visitor is visiting the web page for the second time. 

Consider a scenario, where you have defined three conditions to trigger an action. You can apply the following trigger rule using the logical operator on these conditions:

  • Meet any: Any condition out of the three conditions is met.
  • Meet all: All three conditions are met. 
  • Use logic expression: Set of condition identifier associated using ‘or’ and ‘and’ operators.New Chatbot Smart Trigger 1.png

You can choose to trigger the following actions based on the set conditions:

  • Send notifications: Notifies the selected agent or department automatically.
  • Monitor or transfer chat: Enables the selected agent or department to automatically monitor the ongoing chats and intervene if needed, or transfers the chat to the selected agent or department automatically. 
  • Change ticket assignee: Changes the ticket assignee name to the name of the selected agent or department.
  • Add to visitor segment: Adds the visitor into the existing visitor segments (such as VIP customer segment, frequent visitor segment, and so forth) or to a new one. You are presented with a drop-down list of existing visitor segments to choose from or you can create a new visitor segment.
    Note: This action is visible only if the Segmentation feature is enabled.
    To enable Segmentation, navigate to Live Chat > Settings > Segmentation.
