Create a broadcast that will interrupt any flow

#1

I have a flow that includes a list of questions that I want a user to answer. I found out that if a user recieved Ask a Question action, but haven’t answered to it yet, he is not getting a broadcast. I played with Expire After and Skip Question properties of Ask a Question action but it didn’t help.

How can I make a broadcast that will be delivered no matter where the user is in the flow?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response. What you probably want to do is use the Flow XO Utilities package to cancel any ongoing conversations as the first step in your broadcast - that will allow any messages from the broadcast to supersede the current conversation.

Thank you! It seems to be exactly what I need.

Hi, Nathan!
Can you please explain to me how to find the correct Request ID to finish another flow? Looks like it is different every time.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘finish a flow’ - do you mean cancel it? The request ID is different every time - you can find it in the properties of each trigger, so {{mytrigger.request_id}}.

You can also see it in your interaction logs for each request.
