Click the folder you just created, and then click "Add bot"
Name the chatbot and select the messaging channel. Then click "Add"

Click on the chatbot that you have just created, then type the first trigger keyword and running time (24-hour clock). If you need a 24/7 chatbot, please enter 00:00 to 23:59 in the time field and tick all weeks.

If you want the chatbot to automatically reply to all conversations ( The chatbot works without setting any prior trigger keywords), you can turn on the default function. When the green light is on, it means that the chatbot will be triggered when a new message is received.

Question Settings:Set up the chatbot to reply to your customers through multiple choice questions that clients can reply with the choices. Each choice allows a maximum of three keywords to initiate the next message in line. There is no limit on the number of choices in a question.
Add tags: The incoming messages or contacts will be automatically sorted according to the tags that you have set up.
