Chatbot
Leadbot avatar and text formatting in bot’s cues
26.08.2020

Your leadbot now has its own personality, and you can customize it for your website design. Find settings in the list of chatbots. Just add a picture and come up with a name — they will be the same for all the bots on your website.
People better interact with a chatbot when it doesn’t pretend to be human. So it’s better to set a name and an avatar that won’t imitate a person.

You can now format text in bot’s cues. Using html tags, you can add paragraphs, lists and links, make text italic or bold. Links will work if you wrap them in tags or simply add them as text.

Let your visitors interrupt Leadbot
17.08.2020

Now your visitors can interrupt Leadbot. If they don’t want to answer its questions or have something urgent to say, they can send a message to the chat at any time. Then Leadbot will answer acoarding to the Interrupt branch (which you can change) and this dialog will go to the Inbox.
If you have reply imput fields in your bot (e.g. collecting emails or phones) there’ll be no second input: Dashly will collect answers right from the chat.

You can switch Interupt branch off, if you want your visitors answer all the Leadbot questions before they can write something to you.
