Proactive messages allow you to reach out to website visitors before they initiate a conversation. This guide walks you through setting up the message and building the workflow that handles user responses.

How to Set Up Proactive Messages

1. Navigate to the Outbound Tab

Log in to your Robylon dashboard and click on the Outbound tab in the main navigation menu.

2. Create a New Message

Click the Create a proactive message button to start configuration.

3. Configure Message Content

  • Message Type: Choose whether you want to display Text or a Button.
  • Content: Enter the text you want to show to the customer (e.g., “Hi! Need help with pricing?“).

4. Set Display Rules

Define when and where the message should appear:
  • Timing: Set the delay time (e.g., send after 5 seconds).
  • Targeting: Specify the Page URL where this message should be shown.

5. Save

Build the Workflow

Once the message is set up, you need to configure what happens when a user clicks or replies to it.
