Welcome Messages

You can configure your Twitter bot to automatically send a welcome message on one of two ways:

Default: The first time the user opens the Twitter DM
Deeplink: When a user clicks on a tweet, Twitter button or web link

Message format, support and syntax

You construct a welcome message on your Twitter integration using proprietary YAML syntax. You can use all Twitter DM v2 features: quick replies, media attachments and text (and of course emoji 👊) in many combinations.

The same syntax is used by both default and deeplink welcome messages.

text: YOUR_TEXT_HERE
media_url: YOUR_MEDIA_URL
buttons:
    - text: BUTTON_1
      flow: YOUR_FLOW_NAME
      description: YOUR_DESCRIPTION
    - text: BUTTON_2
      flow: YOUR_FLOW_NAME
      description: YOUR_DESCRIPTION

Field	Description	Note
`text`	Text to display	Required if `media_url` not set.
`media_url`	URL of `image`, `video` or `gif` to send	Required if `text` not set.
`buttons`	One or more buttons to display. Syntax and rules same as quick replies.	Optional
