This action is useful to check that your contacts have particular contacts fields completed or not. This avoids having to ask your contacts for the same information repeatedly while ensuring empty contact fields are updated.  In the example below, we want to see if our contact already has a name saved in their contact information.

Facebook has updated their API to require that all messages sent to a contact after 24 hours have an appropriate ‘tag’, or what we call a ‘topic’.  Message tags allow you to send important and relevant 1:1 updates to contacts outside the standard messaging window of 24 hours after a contact’s last message.  By default your […]

Response rules evaluate the operand designated by the Split Action type. In the example below, we see that a Wait for Response action evaluates the incoming message, or the _@input.text_ operand. Response rules provide a series of tests that you can run against the selected operand. For example, the “_has only the phrase”_ response rule tests the operand for […]

To reference the details for the recipient, instead start that contact in a flow and use the normal Send message action with @contact . Place this action at any node in a flow to send a message to someone […]

Globals are shared values that can be referenced in flows, as well as broadcasts and campaigns, within your account referenced by @globals.value_name. They allow you to create a value once and use it repeatedly without having to reenter the value. Likewise, globals make updating a shared value much easier. Rather than manually changing a value everywhere it’s used in your […]

When you create a new flow, you have the option to choose the default language. This means that if a contact does not have a language preference set, then they will automatically receive the flow’s messages in the default language. Remember that to be able to translate a flow into multiple languages, you’ll need to make sure […]

When your contacts don’t respond to a message in a flow, you can add a timeout to send an automatic message. This feature allows you remind your contacts to respond, to let them know they can restart the flow at a later time, or to place other actions on non-responsive contacts, such as adding or removing […]
