Startup behavior of your bot

Customizing your Quriobot’s startup behavior

You can choose a number of ways to start the bot, both automatically and based on User input. These can be configured on the Bot Settings > Behavior for s oft-start and the bot start.

Note: The default settings are as follows:

• The bot will start by showing as the Sticky avatar
• You can use your mouse to hover over the Sticky avatar the unfold the Soft-start
• You can click on the sticky avatar for the bot to start chatting.
• After 1.000ms (1 second) the soft-start will automatically unfold including a red cross for a user to close it again. If a user clicks on it the bot will start chatting
• After 3.500ms (3,5 seconds) the bot will automatically start chatting (which can be closed by the user by clicking the red cross in the footer.
• The next time you visit the page, the soft start and the bot will remain closed after you finished the chat or closed the chat or the soft-start

All these settings can be changed of course! Just look on the Bot Settings > Behavior section for the Soft-start settings at the top to change texts, how it behaves and when it automatically shows:
