Scheduled Chatbot service on / off

Hi,

This might be more of a WordPress programming question, but I give it a shot.

At https://telescopicmast.com we have a (commercial) human chat service. On mon – fri 8 am – 10 pm (GMT +1) and in weekends sat – sun 9 am – 5 pm (GMT +1)

This service works with a code in our WordPress website, PD Chatbot works with a plugin.

My question is, how can I automatically make Chatbot active when the human chatter is off duty? Anyone has experience with setting this up?

Rob

    Hi @TM Admin I wish I could help you but for now all I can do is forward the feedback to our team to make sure that inside Pipedrive in the future you can define online/offline times for the chatbot inside Pipedrive.

    Regarding a custom solution, perhaps some developers can help you out with that on here: https://devcommunity.pipedrive.com/

    Sorry, I wish I could be of more assistance!

    Please do so. It will surely require some customization in WordPress. 

    Thanks Mike

    Update: I have a solution. Let me know if you work with WordPress and want to schedule the chatbot. I managed to make it appear automatically on times that we don't offer human chat services.

    Hi Mike,  what is the status of when we can have the functionality to define the online/offline times for the chatbot inside Pipedrive?  I am not comfortable with assigning admin privileges' to individuals so they can activate and deactivate the chatbot feature... please advise.

    Hi @Francine Soto 

    I checked with the team and unfortunately it's not in the plans at the moment :( 

    I've asked them to take a look at this request again and see if we can prioritise it but I can't guarantee that since there are also other requests and priorities in the team.

    I hope this still helps although it's not the answer you were probably hoping for
