Direct System Messages

Standardized Chat Messages sent to your users and customers

☝Options described on this page only apply for the Interact integration channel of the Instant Messaging modality.

💡Direct System Messages are configuration items that specify standardized messages sent to Nimbus users and/or customers at certain points during an Instant Messaging session. An example could be a welcome message for the customer, or an informative message for the user on the Adaptive Card, each leveraging Parameters and System Fields for more rich content.

💡Compared to Service System Messages, Direct System Messages only apply for direct website-to-user communication, and are therefore applied on user level, e.g. via Interact User Settings. For more details, refer to Use Case - Setting Up Interact.

 

Direct System Messages are structured into three parts:

  • General properties and settings, specifying details like Organization Unit, Name and Description of the configuration item.
  • Messages to User - specifying the messages shown for the Nimbus user at certain events. 
  • Messages to Customer - specifying the messages shown for the customer at certain events.

General

General Properties

Name Name of the configuration item, as it will appear in other Nimbus selection dialogues.
Organization Unit Determines the Organization Unit placement of the item, and thus steers visibility in other Nimbus selection dialogues.
Description Description of the item, primarily used for tabular listings and overviews.

Display Name

User

Defines how the Nimbus user's display name is shown to the customer on the website.

Allows the following options:

  • Current User Display Name (as specified in O365/Azure Entra)
  • A Custom User Display Name which can consist of Nimbus Parameters and System Fields.
    ⮑ Selecting this option will open a separate text box where you can specify details.
 
 

Messages to User

This tab allows you to define messages displayed to Nimbus users at specific session events. Each message can leverage Parameters and System Fields for more rich content.

“Accept” Adaptive Card

Message shown inside the Adaptive Card when a user can opt-in to “Accept” and start the chat session with the customer.

💡Example: 
You have a new incoming instant message from $(Customer.DisplayName)

“Terminate” Adaptive Card

Message shown inside the Adaptive Card when a user wants to “Terminate” an already ongoing chat session with the customer.

💡Example: 

Do you want to end the instant message session with $(Customer.DisplayName)?

Session Ended

💡Example: 

The instant message session has ended. $(Customer.DisplayName) has left.

 
 

Messages to Customer

This tab allows you to define messages displayed to customers at specific session events. Each message can leverage Parameters and System Fields for more rich content.

Session Connected

Message shown when the session between user and customer is established.

💡Note: This field is intentionally left blank, because Integrations via SMS might send additional messages (at additional cost).

Session Ended by User

Message shown to the customer when the Nimbus user has ended the session.

💡Example: 

The instant message session has ended. The user has left.

Session Declined by User

Message shown to the customer when the Nimbus user has declined the session.

💡Example: 

The instant message session has ended. The user has declined.
