Offering survey using digital bot flow for Whatsapp interaction

  • 1.  Offering survey using digital bot flow for Whatsapp interaction

    Posted 01-15-2026 20:51

    Hi,

    Currently we are offering digital bot flow based survey at the end of Whatsapp interactions by transferring the interaction to an unstaffed queue using a button on the agent script. In the In-queue flow of this unstaffed queue, we call the digital bot flow. This is due to the limitation of not able to transfer Whatsapp interaction to an inbound message flow (which calls the survey digital bot flow) from script.

    Would like to know if there is a better way of offering this survey for Whatsapp interactions. 

    Thanks in advance

    FYI - we are releasing new feature in few weeks to allow for configurable flow after agent disconnect, which might help here > https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/DIG-I-1027

    Hi Angelo,

    That's great news - this feature will be extremely valuable.

    Having the ability to configure actions after the agent disconnects closes an important gap and unlocks several post-interaction use cases that are currently hard to implement cleanly.

    Is there any tentative timeline or target release window you can share for when this will be available?

    Looking forward to testing it once it's released. Thanks for the update!

    From the link I provided you should be able to access latest timeline from Roadmap tab. Thank you!

    Hi all,

    I'm testing Set Post-Flow in an Inbound Message Flow for Digtial bot and can't get it to trigger on agent disconnect.

    Setup (simplified):

    • Inbound Message Flow:

      • Set Post-Flow (Target = Agent → Inbound Message Flow)

      • Transfer to ACD → End of Flow

    • Bot escalates to agent via Transfer to ACD 

    • Post-flow is a minimal inbound message flow:

      • Start → Send Message ("post-flow test") → Disconnect

    • Customer stays on page, agent explicitly disconnects

    Issue:
    When the agent disconnects, the conversation ends immediately and the post-flow never fires.

    Question:
    Has anyone successfully used Set Post-Flow on agent disconnect in Web Messaging?
    Are there any known limitations or extra requirements?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Angelo - I've been playing around with the new feature and it's working well. Just one question. Are there any plans to have an API endpoint to cancel post-Flow actions for messenger?

    There is currently one for calls as below but it doesn't work for Message interactions. 

    delete
    /api/v2/conversations/calls/{conversationId}/participants/{participantId}/communications/{communicationId}/postflowaction

    Hi Michael, We've set Messenger to Display conversation status, but Set Post-Flow still doesn't fire when configured in the Inbound Message Flow. Session stays open, but interaction appears to end on agent disconnect. Am I missing something here? Thank you for your support.

    Hey Phaneendra,

    Looking at your earlier post I cannot see anything obvious as to why it wouldn't be working for you. 

    My simplified flow is very similar to what you mentioned.

    Inbound Message Flow has a 'Set Post-Flow' Action just before 'Transfer to ACD'

    Target = Agent

    Action Type = Inbound Message Flow

    Inbound Message Flow = Post Inbound Message Flow.

    My newly created 'Post Inbound Message Flow' has a 'Call Digital Bot Flow' and points to a Customer Satisfaction Bot I created.

    When the agent disconnects the interaction the customer is correctly being offered the CSAT bot.

    My suggestion would be looking at the Flow Execution History in Architect and playing back your test interactions. Make sure that the interaction is traversing down the correct path where your Set Flow action is because the likely cause is it is bypassing it.

    Thanks Michael, appreciate you checking.

    In our case, the Set Post-Flow points to a very simple Inbound Message Flow (not a bot): it just sends a message with a survey link, then disconnects. No decisions or additional logic. Will have a look at the "Flow Execution History" and see if I can find anything.

    Can you PM me with a conversationID for one of those interactions and the region? Just curious to see what it's doing in the background.

    Hi Dhanalakshmi,

    Just a heads-up that Post Message Flow was officially announced in this week's release notes (Jan 26).

    This feature allows you to trigger a post-disconnect message flow automatically after the agent ends a WhatsApp interaction, without needing to transfer the conversation to an unstaffed queue or rely on script buttons.

    It can be a cleaner and more native way to invoke surveys or digital bot flows for WhatsApp, based on conditions like channel, queue, or customer attributes.

    Definitely worth taking a look as an alternative to the current workaround 🚀
