How to Configure Stop Bot Conditions

Setting up conditions ensures the system knows exactly when to stop responding.

  • Define the trigger condition (e.g., customer ending conversation)

  • Add example phrases such as:

    • “Bye”

    • “Goodbye”

    • “Thank you, have a nice day”

Define how the conversation should end and whether the system should reactivate later.

What to do:

  • Enter a final message (e.g., “Thanks for your time, this chat has ended”)

Once configured, confirm how the stop condition works during a real interaction.
