Trigger a Flow action now triggers New Message

(John Jackson) #1

Many users were getting confused with the fact that the Flow > Trigger by Keyword action needs a matching Flow > New Keyword trigger to work. Quite understandably, users expected ‘keyword’ to mean a keyword on a Bot > New Message trigger.

Well, now it works exactly as you expect. If you have a New Message trigger with the keyword foo, then the Flow > Trigger by Keyword action will trigger that if you use the keyword foo.

Note that to avoid unexpected problems, we haven’t applied this to existing Flow actions. You’ll need to delete your old action and add it again if you want it to work like this.

Also note that we renamed the Flow methods too.
