With this option, BotPress enables chatbots to initiate conversations with users without any user input. By proactively engaging users, the auto-start conversation feature enhances user experience and interaction. Whether it's greeting users, offering assistance, or sharing relevant information, BotPress empowers chatbots to take the lead in starting conversations. Experience the convenience and personalization of auto-start conversations with BotPress, making every interaction seamless and engaging. Enhanced User Engagement: With auto-start conversations, chatbots can proactively engage users, capturing their attention and increasing overall user engagement. Personalized User Experience: By initiating conversations, chatbots can tailor the interaction based on user preferences and previous interactions, providing a more personalized and customized user experience. Improved Customer Support: Auto-start conversations allow chatbots to offer immediate assistance, addressing user needs and concerns without requiring them to initiate the conversation first. This leads to faster and more efficient customer support. Higher Conversion Rates: By taking the initiative to start conversations, chatbots can guide users through the sales funnel, offering product recommendations, answering questions, and ultimately increasing conversion rates. Time-Saving for Users: Auto-start conversations save users time by eliminating the need for them to initiate the conversation. Users can receive relevant information or assistance right away, without having to search for it themselves. These benefits collectively contribute to a more interactive, personalized, and efficient user experience with the auto-start conversation option in BotPress.

there is a secret iin there for you guys
@best-army-74344
try ths
it doesnt duplicate the text when you type smething first
This tutorial is used to prevent text duplication in case someone types in anything before the auto-conversation starts.
@cold-iron-57713
try this
c
Okay. Thanks!
j
np
c
I'm sorry it wouldn't work as this workflow contains the same trigger too!
j
can you show me ?
c
1st is the workflow you referred, 2nd is the beginning of my workflow
In my case I don't need to verify anything. So I've directly connected the start node with the Greetings. Same for auto-start, I've connected the trigger to the Greetings node directly.
And speaking of logs,
It doesn't get anything

q
Have you tried the normal things, type this to Emulator: //state/reset
then publish it again and try in the Webchat, since triggers are not working in Emulator
c
Not working
q
with this and it works
c
q
So maybe you should create an error report?
s
don't you have to disconnect the start node when using triggers? have you checked if that could be the case
q
Yes, that is not starting automatically
c
I had start node and trigger both connected since I'm building it and it worked fine. I don't know what happened today...
q
😂 If that group cannot solve this issue, then we're doomed.
You have connected the Trigger to the same Node than Start?
sometimes when they get disconnected, and I notice that, I connect them again wrong
c
Yes. Start node and the trigger both are connected to Greetings node
The thing is I did not change anything when I came to work. I don't understand what could have happened. I tried to disconnect, reconnect keeping only one node connected everything. Nothing worked.
q
Yes, it doesn't answer anything now
Have you created an error report?
c
And ta-da.... My knowledgebase ditched me too 😂 It's not answering anything but giving me an error 😂
q
c
No I haven't yet
q
Report a problem may be the right thing to do, based on your post on Help-section also
c
Yeah
And there was more. Till yesterday the bot was considering user's input as question only if the input contains a question mark 😂 . Sorry I'm not laughing at the development, but my situation. I was supposed to show this chatbot to my seniors today to finalize it but here I am 😅
I feel they've worked very well to build the Botpress. But I got this situation this time.
q
Did you already try deleting the Trigger and creating a new one?
c
Yes I did. In that case it was not even showing me the Conversation Started trigger. In fact it was showing just one option of schedular I guess. Earlier it used to show three or four triggers including the conversationstarted.
q
Have you tried to export the chatbot to your local computer, then import that file to a new chatbot?
I always try all these if I think something is wrong
f
Can you export your bot to me in a DM and I can take a look at it?
c
Sure!
No I have tried everything else you suggested till now but not re-importing it to a new bot. I'll try that. Thanks!
q
We can also sit back and relax and wait to see if @fresh-fireman-491 is able to fix it with his eyes closed
c
Okay
j
Im back
c
Welcome back!
f
Couldn't recreate the problem
Have you tried exporting it to another workspace?
Or just a new bot
c
On it
Still one of the issues is the same. The bot considers user's input as question only if the input contains a question mark
j
lol thanks
c
But the TriggerStarted did work! Thank you! @fresh-fireman-491 @quick-musician-29561
f
Could you bring me up to date with the issue that still persists?
I can see that you are trying to print the variable workflow.text_HITL. Why? This haven't been set before we arrive here?
j
good job guys
now leave me alone lol. I want to try to sleep for atleats 5 hours tonight
(please)
f
You want to make sure all of your nodes are connected to something. If you want to end the conversation make sure you connect them to the end node
Else it will throw an error
I just saw that this is a post in #1132038253109837994 We can continue this in your post in #1111009377525186570
