  • 1.  Is there a way to auto initiate web messenger

    Hello,

    We are currently working on web messenger in our organization. Is there any possibility to auto initiate the web messenger frame , without waiting for the customer/client to start a conversation. Ideally we would like to  greet the customer automatically when they visit our web page and the messenger frame auto initiate without clicking the button . If they have to click the button is also fine, however would like to start a greeting after clicking the button instead of waiting for the client to initiate the conversation. 

    TIA

    The interaction is usually initiated as the result of the onClick() event for the button (or whatever) being fired off. There is nothing to stop you instead using a different event, such as the completion of a page load, to do the same thing, if necessary.

    Hi Paul,

    sorry for being novice. Is there any steps to do this? How do I get the onClient() event into the messenge flow to initiate a greeting from bot without waiting for the customer to type in something?

    If you check out the Guest Chat API documentation, it shows you how to programmatically send messages. So once you have the Chat open, you could send an "wake up" message...

    Hi Paul

    I believe OP was talking about Web Messaging - this link appears to only apply to Chat?

    Cheers
    Jeff

    HI Paul,

    This documentation speaks about Chat. I am looking to implement this in Web Messenger. Is it still a possibility?

    Great question, we are also looking at an initial greeting rather than relying on the customer guessing they have to enter text.  This is also an issue for Bot flows where once the icon is clicked we would like the bot to start automatically rather than again wait for the customer.

    Kind Regards

    I would love to figure out how to do this as well.  Hopefully, someone comes up with a solution.

    Hello 👋

    Great thread, it further validates our current direction: we just started the necessary work to enable this use-case, where conversations can start automatically, as the end-user opens the Messenger, or programmatically via JS Command. See the corresponding Idea here: https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/DIG-I-997
    This will enable powerful use-cases where end-user can immediately be greeted by a chatbot, to welcome & qualify anonymous visitors and/or understand their intents.

    Thanks,
    Angelo
