Triggers

Triggers are customizable actions that are set up to certain customer stimuli i.e. you can get your bot to behave differently around different customers. Triggers help you customize the bot and activate it to follow some particular “recipe”.

Triggers help you consolidate and win the attention of potential clients. A trigger can be set for a variety of actions or customer behaviours, for example, a predetermined activity by a visitor on your website, if a visitor has spent more than a minute on your price page, he might be looking for a more flexible plan.
