Can I slow down the speed that custom bot bubbles appear to the customer?

i.e. If I have one path, with a message that is split into 3 bubbles, can I delay how fast each of the 3 bubbles shows? they display too quickly and customers often miss the info in the first bubble, esp. on mobile.

Hi @lamint​ ,

 

You can delay outbound message from here:

Thanks for the answer @roy s11​ , but does that not refer to when the response is triggered? ie. if a customer has been on the page for 30 sec, then trigger the answer? I am asking if a customer has entered the custom bot flow- and in one of our answers in the flow, we have three bubbles, I want the first bubble to show, wait ten sec. then the next, then wait, then the last- so the customer isn't bombarded with all answers/doesn't miss the top options.

@lamint​ , Oh... Sorry, Right now I got your question.

 

As far as I know, it's not possible to delay custom bot messages 😞 You can suggest this feature in @Product Wishlist​ group.

 

However, In this case, suggesting using bot replies to offer additional help:

Answerbot

Hi @lamint​ 👋

 

This is a really cool idea! 👌 We don't have the option to delay Custom Bot's replies right now, but like Roy said you can suggest this feature in @Product Wishlist​ group.

Any update on this feature? Last message is from one year ago, I was wondering if anything has been implemented in the meantime…

We need to delay a bit the messages from the chatbot to make the experience smoother and more natural.

Thank you!

Actually there is something new, you can add Wait but the minimal time is 1minute :(

It does not accept 0.1 minute, and I was thinking that we can trick it that way :)
