Actions

How to set up actions in the funnel?

Actions are auxiliary internal blocks that helps customize the actions of the chatbot. Actions are not directly visible to users like text messages. They are needed for the internal setup of the funnel.

Where to find "Actions"?

Block Actions

There is a separate block to adds actions in multi-step flows. The block can be added at any stage of your funnel.

 

By clicking 'Add Action', you will find a list of possible actions the can be added to the flow scenario.

 

 

Action-buttons 

In broadcasting you can add an "Action" button. When the subscriber clicks on it, the action will be performed. 


 

Automation settings

You can add "Actions" when setting up automation by keywords or accepting payments. The action will be performed if the automation is successful: for example, after receiving a payment or entering a keyword.


 

The list of available actions in buttons and multi-step flows is slightly different.

This action can stop or add the subscription for the user in the flow. For example, you had a short question flow and then you decided to add a long message thread for a month or more. 

  

  • Subscribe or unsubscribe

Unsubscribe is an action to disable all automatic messages from flows, sequences, feeds. You can delete users for whom this action was applied or contact them in dialogs.

You can subscribe users who unsubscribed, but changed their mind and decided to receive the newsletter from you again.

 

 

  • Chat with an agent 

During the passage of the flow, subscribers are not displayed in dialogs. The chain is automatically sent. However, you can add a button or a block after which everything that the subscriber writes will be displayed in the dialogs. Most often, this action is activated by clicking on the "Ask a question" button.

Even if you do not add a button, any message that the subscriber writes outside the bot script will be displayed in the dialogs.

  • Send subscriber’s details to Email

This action sends a notification to the specified Email.

 


  • Send subscriber data via Webhook

Use this action to configure integration with other services, such as CRM systems. Read more about integration in the section: Integrations and APIs.
