Message
Message is the most basic and simple Dialog Element in AI Studio. It is used to send - or essentially - show a message to the user on the chatbot. Messages can be something as simple as, “Welcome to the chatbot” or "Hi, I am AutomationEdge Bot, how can I help?".
Message element can be used in various scenarios like:
- Send chatbot initiation messages
- Giving updates between steps
- Giving hints and tips about using the chatbot, etc.
Following is a screenshot of the Message dialog element in its default state:
This dialog element can be customised using two inputs/fields :
- Execution: Configuration to decide when to execute the respective Dialog Element. The options are as follows,
- Enabled: The Dialog Element will be executed everytime the dialog is executed.
- Disabled: The Dialog Element will never be executed even if the dialog is executed.
- Condition: Depending on certain condition, the Dialog Element is executed.

- Message: A text input field that accepts the value that has to be shown to the user.
You can also use State variables like ${conv.__username__}
in the message. This can allow you to show custom messages to the current user like.
E.g., "Hi ${conv.__username__}
, welcome to AutomationEdge" will be shown as "Hi Jane, welcome to AutomationEdge"
