how set default welcome message for Bot ?

It’ll depend on the chat you are using. For my project, we have the control over the chat, so we are going to send a /welcome message/intent so the bot will respond with the welcome intent without interaction from the user. But there is not standard way to do this, it depends on your chat platform.

@huberrom can you please elaborate on how to perform this task. Thanks in advance

Well, I have an intent which is name “bienvenue” (welcome in french), with the following story : ## story_bienvenue * bienvenue - action_bienvenue When the chat open, it sends this to the bot : { "message" : "/bienvenue"} (if you don’t use the last version of rasa core, it would be query instead of message)

Hi @rasalearner if you are using mrbot-ai / rasa-webchat then in that case I can help you upto some extent. Below are the steps I followed to display welcome message when bot loads: Create utter_welcome_message utterance in your domain file. And give whatever intial message you wants to display. Also add one intent with the name of your choice in your domain file. In my case I have ‘hello’ as intent. Also don’t forget to include this utter_welcome_message in your action’s list i.e in domain file. Add simple story in your story file for the specified intent and call action as utter_welcome_message. In your html file put initPayload value with intent that you have created for e.g in my case it is initPayload: "/hello", If it helps let me know pal :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:

Hey Prashant, Thanks for your reply. We are using rocket.chat. Do you know how to use payload there.

Hi Nitin, I have not used rocket chat yet. But can you show me what you are upto or what have you done.

So what I am asking is how to trigger initPayload: “/hello”, in rocket.chat client so that default welcome message appears there. Currently I am only asking user to chat first and then welcome message appears. In this case sometimes user doesn’t do proper greeting as expected hence trigger doesn’t work. So we want welcome message first to force some default happy paths.

hii @prashant_kamble , which html file are you talking about ?

Hi @Saurbh060 , HTML means I am talking about javascript file from which we are calling rasa core webhook API.
