Chatbot

The chatbot appears during an Engage session to help send your customers where you want (Sell session, purchase page, form…).

There are two main options for the chatbot: send the customer to a Sell session (secondarySeed), or send them to any URL you want (externalURL). Note that the SecondarySeed has preference over the external URL.
The chatbot will appear once the minimumTime has passed, and once the customer has asked the minimum number of questions required.
