Overview
The Update Conversation AI Bot and Status workflow action in Concours Pro lets you assign a specific chatbot to a contact and switch its status to Active or Inactive. It’s a handy way to manage how your chatbot interacts with customers based on their actions, like booking an appointment or submitting a form. By automating these assignments, you save time and keep your customer interactions smooth and relevant.
What It Does
This workflow action gives you control over your chatbot by allowing you to:
- Pick a specific Conversation AI Chatbot for a contact.
- Change the chatbot’s status to Active or Inactive using workflows or triggers.
It’s all about making sure the right chatbot talks to the right contact at the right time.
How You Can Use It
You can set up the Update Conversation AI V2 Chatbot and Status action for scenarios like:
- Assigning chatbots to specific channels, like SMS or web chat.
- Triggering chatbots based on actions, such as:
- Booking an appointment
- Making a payment
- Submitting a form
- Using custom tags to assign chatbots.
- Applying chatbots based on filters or conditional logic (e.g., If-Else rules).
- Setting up dedicated chatbots for specific live chat channels.
Once assigned, you can check the chatbot linked to a contact in the Conversations tab.
Things to Know
Channel Setup: Make sure the chatbot you assign is enabled for the channel you’re using. For example, if it’s handling Instagram DMs, confirm the Instagram channel is active for that chatbot.
Workflow Logic: This action assigns the chatbot and moves to the next step in the workflow right away. It doesn’t wait for the chatbot’s conversation to finish before continuing.
Action Details
Keep Same: Choosing this option means no changes are made, and the current chatbot assignment stays in place.
