Conditions

Introduction

Conditions allow you to define predefined criteria that can be used in multiple places, such as:

• The Check for conditions to proceed bot response type.
• Chat priority settings.

Conditions are checked using a specific syntax:

{condition.<condition_identifier>} (e.g., {condition.is_vip}).

The result of a condition check will be either valid or not_valid.

Conditions can also check other conditions during their evaluation. For example:

Chat Attribute Extraction

You can extract any chat attribute using this modal window:

Condition Explanations

The following explanations apply to all condition checks.

= or != for Number and String Comparison

These operators perform equality checks. They require an exact match and can be used to compare numbers or strings.

For example, to check if a chat department's identifier is equal to my_storage:

{args.chat.department.identifier} = 'my_storage'

To check if a chat variable pid is equal to my_pid:

{args.chat.chat_variables_array.pid} = 'my_pid'

To check the response of a REST API call:

{content_1} != 1

>, >=, <, <= for Number Comparison

These operators perform numerical comparisons.

For example, to check if a chat's duration is more than 5 seconds:

{args.chat.chat_duration} > 5

Text like and Text not like

These operators, internally referred to as like and notlike, perform pattern matching on text.

The rules for these operators are defined here.

For example:

{args.chat.department.name} Text like edas && em [params max_words=2]

This condition checks if the department name contains exactly two words, edas and em.

To match any value from a list of values, use:

{args.chat.nick} Text like remdex,vip_player (checks if the chat nick is either remdex or vip_player).

{args.chat.dep_id} Text like 5,8 (matches if the department ID is 5 or 8).

Contains

This operator checks if a string contains another string as a substring.

Live bot migration using actions conditions

This is extremely useful in case you have a bot and to migrate some of its flows without creating a new bot.

• You can use E.g is_lt_user to expecting condition to be valid
• You can use E.g -is_lt_user (-) prefix for expecting condition to be invalid

Bot Example

Example usage in a bot:

Bot Example with Buttons Using Conditions

This example demonstrates a quick reply button with a condition. The button is displayed only if the bot_not_answered condition is met.

The condition is defined as follows:
