Chat Arrived

This node type is the starting point of the chat flow. It executes either when a chat message arrives or when the presence of a customer is detected.

The following parameter can be set:

ParameterHow many?TypeDescription
OptionsOptional parameters.
Chat ID0 or 1StringAn optional variable in which to store the chat identifier so that it can be accessed later on in the chat flow.

The following branches can be taken:

BranchHow many?Description
Message Arrived0 or 1The branch to take when a chat message arrives.
Presence Arrived0 or 1The branch to take when the presence of a customer is detected, such as when they open the chat box.

If this branch is missing, the incoming presence is ignored and the chat flow waits to receive a chat message before moving on to the next node in the routing flow.

Note: If both the Chat Arrived branch and the Presence Arrived branch are configured, the node takes the branch that is matched first.
