@prashant_kamble I even tried intent as ‘/hello’ , while training it says no stories present. and if i use ‘hello’ as intent then it does not initiate the conversation.

Any code or example how to add the welcome message or greet message by bot-like " Hello, I am a bot, how can I help you today?" at the first instant of the chat window open or

the sequence of messages one after another.

Bot: Hello.

Bot: Welcome to the website.

You can send “/session_start” to the rasa backend server when a user invokes the chat icon and customize the welcome message by creating a custom action like:

class ActionSessionStart(Action): “”" This action is used at the start of conversation. “”"

def name(self) -> Text:
    """This is the name to be mentioned in domain.yml and stories.md files
        for this action."""
    return "action_session_start"

async def run(
        self,
        dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
        tracker,
        domain: Dict[Text, Any],
) -> List[EventType]:
    """This run function will be executed when "action_session_start" is
        triggered."""
    # The session should begin with a 'session_started' event
    events = [SessionStarted()]
    dispatcher.utter_message(
        text="Hi! How can I help you?")
    events.append(ActionExecuted("action_listen"))
    return events

If you using shell use this Default welcome message - #32 by samvatsar or if you using some front end like rasa web chat see this GitHub - botfront/rasa-webchat: A feature-rich chat widget for Rasa and Botfront

<script>!(function () {
  let e = document.createElement("script"),
    t = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
  (e.src =
    "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rasa-webchat@1.x.x/lib/index.js"),
    // Replace 1.x.x with the version that you want
    (e.async = !0),
    (e.onload = () => {
      window.WebChat.default(
        {
          customData: { language: "en" },
          initPayload: "/hello",   ** utterence or welcome message 
          socketUrl: "https://bf-botfront.development.agents.botfront.cloud",
          // add other props here
        },
        null
      );
    }),
    t.insertBefore(e, t.firstChild);
})();
