Bot Launcher. Admins can define how they want the bot launcher to act when an end-user visits the source where the chatbot is deployed. There are three ways to trigger the bot launcher: 1) None, 2) Text, and 3) Story.

Let's explain each one in detail.

• None(Default). It is self-explanatory that a plain bot launcher icon will be visible.

• Text. You can add some a text to the bot launcher.

  

• Story. You can select a story as default. Only those stories will be visible in the dropdown whose initial nodes have Options as the Response type. Based on the selected story, the nodes (first five) are shown as options to the end user.
