Add Event Filter to Start Node

Please add the "event filter" form field on the green start node. This filter is present on a lot of other triggers (Webchat conversation started, webhook triggers) and would add a great amount of functionality. Currently the only ways to do this is to add an external middleman before triggering the conversation (which is laborious and difficult for many users) or to use expressions and logic in the workflow (which since the bot has already been triggered, incurs cost).

We got the same problem Currently, I want to integrate my chatbot into an active Instagram account. However, I would like the bot to trigger only when the user sends a specific message (for example, a keyword or a precise phrase). Aside from this trigger message, the chatbot should remain inactive: - not reply to anything, - and not be counted toward the message/event quota. This would be a very useful feature.
