Know who your chatbot is talking to

by

We just added a great feature that allows bot builders to know to whom they are talking to. You will see the chatlog emails something like this from now on (after updating your bot):

These are published as Global variables that you can call like other variables you define within the chat. You can use the same variables within your chatflow dialogue or pass this to webhook for further transactions.

Here is a list of these global variables:
