Bot subscription Gets sent whenever a user subscribes to your chatbot and includes new subscriber data.
Incoming messages Gets sent whenever you receive new incoming messages and includes data about the sender and their message text.
Outbound messages Gets sent whenever you send new messages and includes data about the receiver and your message text.
Opened live chat Gets sent whenever a user reaches the Action element with the Open chat option.
Launched custom trigger flow Gets sent whenever your flow is triggered and includes user and flow data.
Redirect Gets sent whenever a user clicks through a button link and includes link, sending element, and user data.
Bot unsubscribe Gets sent whenever a user unsubscribes from your bot and includes user and bot data.
Bot blocked Gets sent whenever a user blocks bot messages and includes user and bot data.
