Defining the chatbot's default responses

To define the default responses and behavior of the bot, click Bot Settings and then go to the Defaults tab (under Language).

Default Reply The default reply is a general purpose reply for both questions and messages. If you set a Default Question/Answer Reply, it covers messages only. The bot will display the text in the chat window followed by the selected interaction.
Mode The type of reply: Text + Next, Text Only, Next Only.
Text Enter text that will be displayed when a user enters a response that is not understood. Only used if Mode is set to Text + Next or Text Only.
Next Select an interaction to which the bot will go when a user enters a response that is not understood. If this is empty, the bot will wait for the user to initiate the next step. Only used if Mode is set to Text + Next or Next Only.
Default Question/ Answer Reply The default answer reply prompts the user to respond to the question. The bot will display the text in the chat window and then display the question again. This only applies to questions.
Text Define the answer that is displayed by the bot when the user tries to answer a question with a response that is not understood.
After login/After logout Any interaction can require the user to be logged into their account before continuing. Where an interaction has the Requires account linking option selected, these defaults determine the next step after logging in or out.
After login Select the next step that will be run after a user logs in or links their account.
After logout Select the next step that will be run after a user logs out or unlinks their account.
Cancel This option provides the user with a way of restarting the conversation no matter where they are in the conversation. The conversation will then go back to the beginning.
Global cancel Enter the words or phrases that will restart the conversation. For example exit, stop, start again, cancel. If this field is blank, "cancel" will be used.
Global variables Global variables can be used in any interaction belonging to the bot. For example, multiple interactions referencing a URL can be updated once and the update will populate all interactions using this variable. For more information, see Using variables in chatbots.
