New agent settings give you more control over processing indicators and welcome messages.
For the Widget channel, choose what users see while the agent prepares a response:
Reasoning stages: brief descriptions such as Thinking, Searching for information or Generating an image.
An Agent is typing indicator showing the agent’s name.
No processing indicator.
The Reply on segment subscription setting starts a separate welcome scenario when a user subscribes through a landing page, a direct link or manual addition to a segment.
When disabled, a subscription alone does not trigger a reply. The agent continues responding to incoming messages according to its other settings.
Subscriptions created while processing an incoming message, such as a keyword or any-message rule, do not trigger an additional greeting. The agent replies to the user’s original message.
Example instruction: After the user subscribes, greet them, briefly explain how you can help and ask one clarifying question.
