Question Block

Use this block to ask a question to your visitor. You can also save the user response to a variable. If you mark the question as mandatory, the bot won’t proceed to the next block until the user has given an answer.

Quick Reply

You can ask your user to respond with a quick reply option, saving them time from typing out their answer.

In a quick reply, add the following data

Button Text: Type the text to be displayed within the button
Next Block: Select the next block in the flow, activated when the customer clicks the button
Update Variable: Save the answer by assigning a specific value to a variable.
Triggers: Trigger this button when the user says something matching with keywords. You can add multiple phrases/keywords.

Trigger FAQs

Often during conversations with a visitor, you may want the bot to be able to handle an unexpected question. With our Question Block, you have the option to trigger your FAQ block for any question you want the bot to ask.

The question block still serves its original purpose; it waits for the user’s response before proceeding to the next block. You can also save the user response to a variable.
