Impact of Adding a Bot on Messaging Response in Zendesk

Learn how adding a conversation bot affects the default messaging response in Zendesk. Understand the benefits and changes involved.

What happens to the messaging response if I add a conversation bot?

When you add a conversation bot to your messaging channel, the default messaging response is deactivated.

The bot's standard responses will replace the default messaging response. This means that the bot will handle customer interactions with its pre-configured responses, providing a more automated and potentially more efficient customer service experience. If you want to use features like automatic translation or dynamic content, adding a conversation bot is necessary as the default messaging response does not support these features.
