The Queue Replies feature allows the chatbot to generate responses after processing messages that have been queued. This functionality is particularly beneficial in scenarios where users send multiple messages in quick succession, such as follow-up questions, expressions of gratitude, or fragmented queries. By compiling these messages into a single, comprehensive response, the chatbot can provide more coherent and contextually relevant replies.
Use Cases
- Fragmented Queries: Users may break down a complex question into several shorter messages.
- Follow-up Questions: Users might send a question and then immediately follow up with a ”?” to emphasize urgency.
- Expressions of Gratitude: Users often say “thank you” followed by an emoji or another brief message.
How It Works
- Message Queueing: When users send messages to the chatbot, each message is added to a queue.
- Wait Timeout Setting: The queue operates with a specified waitTimeout setting, which determines how long the chatbot waits before responding. This waiting period allows for additional user messages to be queued.
- Response Generation: Once the waitTimeout period expires, the chatbot processes all queued messages and generates a single, comprehensive response. This response addresses all the messages in the queue, ensuring a coherent and contextually relevant reply.
Benefits
- Improved User Experience: By consolidating fragmented messages into a single response, the chatbot provides a more coherent and contextually relevant reply.
- Enhanced Conversational Flow: The chatbot can address multiple user messages in a single response, maintaining the conversational flow and reducing the misinterpretation.
- Efficient Communication: Queue replies streamline communication by processing multiple messages simultaneously, giving more human touch to the conversation.
