Fromni. Chatbots x Altegio app. Settings
Channels tab
In this tab you can add all the necessary channels that will cascade the message.
If there are no connections in the selected channel, the message "No connections. Connect".
After clicking on "Connect", a page will open on which you need to connect the desired channel.
How to connect channels to your Fromni. Conversations account read here.
After connecting the desired channel, go back to the application page and tap “Update connections". The added channel will become available.
When several channels are connected, you can use the arrows to change the order of the channels, and you can use the red button to delete the channel.
In the “Wait for message delivery" field put a time limit.
If during this time the message will not be delivered to the user in the current channel, it will be sent through the next channel of the cascade. After defining the channel cascade, click "Save".
Notifications tab
This tab contains the types of notifications that are in Altegio: Settings → System Settings → Notifications → Notification Types.
In Altegio personal cabinet go to Settings → System Settings → Notifications → Notification Types and for each enabled notification click on the pencil icon on the right and set up the channels this way:
Push — do not send
SMS — always send
Email — do not send
Push — do not send
SMS — always send
Email — do not send
This tab is needed if you want to send different text in different channels. For example, make one text for SMS, and another for WhatsApp.
If you want to send exactly the text that is configured in Altegio to all connected channels, you do not need to change the settings in this tab.
To change some type of notification, click on it, let’s say "Invitation for upcoming visit", a page with the settings for this type of notification will be opened.

Under "Select text from Altegio for this type of notification" you need to select the text to be sent from Altegio.
Select one of the options:
1. Standard text from Altegio — this is the template text that Altegio has by default;
2. Special text — this option is best if you plan to send different message texts to different channels;
3. Your text — this text can be absolutely any, but it can only contain variables that are allowed in the script type in Altegio.

Section 3: Choose what to do if the user replies/responds to the message.
Often, when you send a notification through a messenger, such as WhatsApp, the client can respond to you immediately in the messenger chat.
In turn, a chatbot can be started on the user’s response, which:
- Collects some clarifying data from the user. For example, if the user wrote "I won't come" in response to a message about an upcoming visit, the bot can ask if he wants to cancel the appointment altogether or reschedule it. If the customer wants to move the appointment, the bot will drop a link to Altegio, where the user can sign up again;
- The bot will collect positive feedback in Altegio or on the cards. The bot will ask to rate the quality of the service provided and if it's positive will offer to leave a review in the place where you want positive feedback (in Altegio or on the maps) and so on.
The bot has practically limitless capabilities, so you can create absolutely any bot. It's not hard to do, ask managers, they will tell you more details.
The created bot can be connected to the notification in the "Choose what to do if the user replies/responds to the message" block.
1. In the drop-down, select Start an automatic dialog after the client's response.
2. Select the desired scenario.
