when I deploy my botpress chatbot on my website the first question I ask it always takes a super long time, how do I avoid this?

I have the same problem, it takes a while for the bot to start a conversation, I believe they have created a new function in BP Beta where the bot initiates the conversation

do you know how to implement this in your current chatbot's?

Interested in a solution.

Botpress is so slow for me too sometimes

You have to sign up with the form https://discord.com/channels/1108396290624213082/1121833577659768893

Will using triggers solve the issue I am having?

Not exactly sure, the problem may persist. If the problem is being caused because BP takes time to connect to servers, then nothing will solve that problem. However if it is being caused by BP having a hard time processing the first message and figuring out what to do (start convo) then a trigger may be able to fix the problem. Just my opinion I may be wrong.

ok thanks, will I just get an email saying they've accepted the request from the form when they do?

No, they’ll update you on the forum when the new list of users have been added to the beta. The latest add was yesterday I believe
