Turn on Robot /Auto Reply

Hyphenate robot helps your team provide 24/7 online service and auto replies to your customers.

Before using the robot, you need to turn on the robot and create knowledge rules as the basis for the auto replies.

Turn On the Robot

Go to “Admin Mode > Settings > Routing” and bind the robot to one or more channels or channel accounts. The robot will start working right away.

Set routing rules

Set Welcome Message

The robot welcome message is turned off by default. If you turn on the robot and set the robot welcome message, when the customer opens the chat window (on app or web), he will receive the welcome message from the robot. (Note: An API must be called to display the welcome message on app.)

The welcome message can be text (up to 1000 characters) or a menu (created on the Custom Menu tab).

Robot's welcome message

Use the Knowledge Base

The robot's knowledge base consists of: a chat library and knowledge rules. The chat library is a built-in function of the robot, which is turned off by default, and can be turned on from the “Robot Settings > Auto Reply > Default Reply” tab. Setting up knowledge rules can effectively improve the robot's capability to solve service problems. A knowledge rule contains one or more questions and answers (go to “Admin Mode > Robot > Robot Settings > Knowledge Rules” to add knowledge rules). When a customer sends a message that meets a preset knowledge rule, the robot will automatically reply with an answer in the knowledge rule.

In the knowledge base, you can enter up to 1000 knowledge rules. In each knowledge rule, you can add 5 questions and 5 answers. When the robot matches any question, it will reply with one of the 5 answers.

Knowledge rules

Add Custom Menu

The robot's custom menu is a good way to guide the user's question and answer, suitable for self-service system. The custom menu can be used in the welcome message, default reply, and knowledge rules.

Go to “Admin Mode > Robot > Robot Settings > Custom Menu”, click Add Menu, enter the menu name, and click Save to add a set of menus. Each menu supports up to 4 levels (not including answers) and up to 20 menu items per level. Each menu item is counted as a knowledge rule.

Custom menu

Each menu name and menu item name is a question, which is the same as the question in a knowledge rule. When the customer enters a menu name or a menu item name, the robot will reply with the menu items directly.
