You can create an entry point that performs actions and then sends the user to a specific passage or logic when they start a conversation with your chatbot from a specific URL.

You can configure entry point to trigger:

Only when the URL matches exactly, excluding any sub-paths.
When the URL matches exactly and on sub-paths.

You can add as many URLs as you need to each entry point, and configure each of them to either be an exact match or to include sub-paths.

Create an entry point

Open the team and chatbot you want to work with.
Click Manage.

Your entry point must have at least one URL.
Select a Matching method.
If you want to add more URLs, click + Web URL.
If these web URLs host an inGenious AI widget, configure when the chat widget should open automatically on the desktop and mobile version of the website:
- Never: the chat widget must be manually opened by the user.
- Immediately: the chat widget immediately opens when the page loads.
- After a delay: the chat widget opens after the number of seconds you specify.
  To use different settings for the mobile version of the site, clear the Same as Desktop option and select your configuration.
  These settings do not affect other chat widget integrations.
If you want to perform actions when this entry point is triggered, click Actions.
Select the Conversation and Passage or Logic to send your user.
Click Save.
