Sometimes it’s necessary to split a long bot flow into several shorter ones. There can be several reasons:
-
It’s inconvenient to work with a very long flow.
-
With many steps, the load on the computer increases, and the browser starts to work slower.
-
It’s easier to find errors in shorter flows.
-
You may need to start the flow not from the first step.
How to split a flow
-
Copy the original bot:
Go to the copy of the bot and click Edit. Keep only the steps that should be in the first short bot. The rest can be deleted by multi-selecting steps. To do this, hold down the left mouse button in an empty area of the editor for a few seconds and drag the cursor. A selection box will appear.
You can also select multiple steps by clicking on them while holding the Shift key. After selecting, press the Delete key to remove the steps. -
Return to the list of bots and copy the original bot again. The second copy is needed so you keep the original long flow intact.
- Open the new copy and keep only the steps that should be in the second bot.
- Give the new bot a name to avoid confusion.
- If you need to split the long flow into more than two parts, repeat steps 3 to 5 as many times as needed.
- Add a transition to continue the flow.
- Go to the first short bot and at the step where the flow used to continue, add a transition to the next step. For the next step, select the launch of the second flow.
