Click the status slider to temporarily disable the bot. The message configured under the Bot disabled block will be shown.
Enable/disable your bot.
Maximum message length
To avoid that messages that are too long are not understood, an authorized Maximum message length send by customers can be configured.
To set up a Maximum message length:
Toggle on the feature toggle.
Define a maximum number of characters.
Define a block where the bot will Go to when a user sends a message above that number of characters.
Click Save at the top right corner of the screen.
A nice fallback message in this case could be text like: I am sorry, I work best with shorter messages. Could you please rephrase that?
Manage the Maximum message length.
Bot behaviour
The typing speed, or typing duration, is how fast the bot answers to the user. The higher the typing speed, the longer the user will see that the bot is typing before they receive an answer. The right typing speed can create a positive, more humanlike experience for the user.
The default typing speed is 1500ms, but try out different speeds to see what is best for your bot.
Language detection
You can use Language detection option to check if the user's language is supported by your bot.
If the user's language is supported, the user will be routed to the Introduction block.
If the language is not supported by the bot, the user will be routed to a block of your choosing.
Language detection will only appear in your Settings if your bot is multilingual.
Whenever the user types an expression in a language other than the preferredLanguage activated, the bot will not automatically switch to that language. If the expression is in a language that the bot knows, the expression will be processed and the bot will answer in the original preferredLanguage.
