When should I use the bot builder in Zendesk messaging?

Use the bot builder in Zendesk messaging to design interactions that occur before a customer starts messaging a team member. The bot builder is ideal for creating intents that gather important information from customers through the Web Widget before they engage with live support.

For example, you can set up the bot to ask customers for details about their issue, which helps streamline the support process once they connect with a team member. This proactive approach ensures that your team has all the necessary information to assist the customer efficiently.
