is there anyway to make a flow runs only the first time a user use the bot?
can we do this using filters?

Yes, you can filter on the message being start (web and FB messenger) or /start (Telegram). :+1:

I didn’t get your point
Can you explain more how to do it?

(John Jackson) #4

Sure no problem. Our ‘catch-all’ trigger will get triggered and the message will be either ‘start’ (if the user is on web bot or Facebook Messenger) or ‘/start’ (on Telegram).

So to know that the user is coming to the bot for the first time, add a catch-all and set up a filter to say ‘message is start’ or ‘message is /start’.
