Automating Communication
There is a workflow action that can be used to automate engagement with contacts.
This workflow message, uses the in-process contact to define a message. It posts the message to the web chat widget for that contact. You can use dynamic terms to construct a message that uses the contact's state to deliver the right message
Setting Up Automation
You could consider creating a campaign sequence that uses a contact history = web chat message as a starting step:
The starting step you want is 'New Contact Activity'
And the query you want to use as the starting step is 'WebChatDiscussion'. This history type is created whenever a NEW conversation happens (initiated by either the prospect or an attendant). This history item is created, at most, 1 time per hour. Thus all messages that go on after the WebChatDiscussion will be captured with this history item.
You could then use ChatGPT to respond to the incoming query
This dynamic term would insert the last webchat message into your ChatGPT query
%CONTACT.RECENT_INCOMING_HISTORY(WEBCHATMESSAGE).COMMENTS%
Using a closed loop will ensure the contact does not leave the workflow and continues the conversation
