Automatic Message when starting Conversation by Jumpfreakske on 02-07-2007 at 09:19 PM
It's for a bot:
When somebody opens a windows with the bot,
then it must answer automaticly with Hello or something, just
like Alice do... possible? (of course)

What are you useing to make a bot? Ex. Akonix® L7 BuilderTM SDK or are you makeing your own program?

aka: drop the idea of sending a message when the contact has just opened a chat window; it will not work and you'll be sending a lot of unwanted messages.

You're better off trying to detect when the user begins typing a message as it will actually work properly and it means that the user does actually want to talk to the bot and didn't just open the conversation window by accident.
EDIT: Although I don't really see the problem with just waiting for the user to send a message, why does the bot have to talk before you do?

A good intro isn't bad for a bot

as Cookie said: you'll be sending a lot of unwanted messages.
that will be true.. and Volv's idea is more better...
What if the contact only opens a conversation with you and closes it? (well i do that sometimes)
and so making a script that will say 'hello' when someone sends you a message is also.... not very good.. the chat window will look like this:

Example1 says: hey whats up
Example2 says: Hello
Example1 says: lol
Example2 says: Hello
[...]
and so on..
maybe AutoHey will help?
look in the db.
