After connecting your page to Elegant Bots, you will see a Preinstalled Template contained inside the “Template Files” folder as shown in the image below. The template is very helpful to get you started intuitively even without you having to read much the documentation. and to fast track your bot development.
The template consist of 7 flows which includes the “Welcome Message” named as “Welcome-Custom”, “Default Reply” named as “DefaultReply-Custom, and 5 others. See the flows as shown in the image below.
If you go to Settings>General, you will see that the Welcome Message and Default Reply has been preconfigured for you. You may change it anytime at your discretion. See image below..
If you go to Settings>Channels>Facebook Messenger, you can see the Persistent Menu has been preconfigured as well.
So everything works already on your page even without you doing anything yet. Cool, right? You can go to your page like the image below and click the “Send Message” and the ‘Get Started” buttons and see the bot in action already.
The image below shows the “Welcome Message” and the “Peristent Menu”.
