How do the chatbots work?
Generally speaking, a chatbot is a piece of artificial intelligence (AI) software that can carry on conversations with its users, sometimes even mimic human conversations.
Chatbots at Tidio:
- can be triggered on chosen events (we called them triggers)
- conduct defined actions throughout the bot's workflow
- behave differently for given conditions
Available triggers for Instagram bots
Below, you can see a list of available trigger nodes that evoke a bot on Instagram. To learn more - take a look at our article about triggers.
Visitor says (AI Chatbots)
This trigger helps you define example phrases sent by visitors on which chatbot should be started. Tidio's algorithm tries will match visitor text with example phrases and trigger the correct chatbot.

Operators start the chatbot
This trigger's not triggered automatically. The Operator needs to start it manually from the conversation panel during the chat with the visitor.
Operator doesn't respond/take the conversation
This trigger can start a bot based on the defined minutes when the operator hasn't sent a message.
Operator leaves the conversation
Triggers chatbot after the operator left the conversation with a visitor.
