Take over from the bot

Turn the chatbot off for one contact so only your team replies.

In this tutorial, you will turn the chatbot off for one conversation.

Time needed: 5 minutes

Before you start

Make sure:

Turn the bot off before you type a long reply. That stops the bot from answering at the same time.

1. Open the conversation

On the left menu, click Live Chat.

Click the thread you want to take over.

Live Chat with the sample conversation open Live Chat with the sample conversation open
Open the conversation. Other chats are hidden.

2. Check Bot Active

In the conversation header, find Bot Active.

If you see Bot Inactive, the bot is already off for this contact.

Now reply yourself. Example reply shown.

Make sure it worked

The header shows Bot Inactive.

A new customer message does not get an automatic bot reply.

If it didn’t work

I cannot see the bot button

This account has no chatbot, or your login cannot change chatbot status.

The bot still replies

Open the header again. If it shows Bot Active, click it once more.

You can also type /stop in the box and choose Disable Chatbot.
