Supported GC blocks in the Facebook Messenger channel

Supported GC blocks in the LINE channel



The GC bot builder consists of three components:
    1. Blocks
    2. Paths
    3. Variables

What are the GC Blocks?

Blocks are the basic units of a bot builder. For example, a text message you want to show, a set of options you want the customer to choose from, the step where you collect the email address or phone number, etc., are added to the flow using appropriate blocks.

Uses of GC Blocks
    •    If you want to display a welcome message to the user at the beginning of the conversation, you must use a message block.
    •    Likewise, if you want the user to share an image or photo as part of the conversation, you must use an image block.
There are a variety of blocks in the builder that one can choose depending on the output they want to show the end user.

Transfer Chats to Live Agents  

While GC Blocks help you create effective automated flows, some scenarios require a human touch. Using the Transfer to Agent block in your flow, you can smoothly hand over a conversation to a live agent when needed.  The entire conversation history is preserved, so the agent has full context.
