# Set Up Welcome Bot

***

## **Working of Welcome Bot**

The Welcome Bot serves as an automated greeting mechanism designed to engage with customers and provide a personalized experience. 

Here's how it operates 👇

* Whenever a new message is received from a customer, the Welcome Bot springs into action
* To ensure a balanced interaction experience, the bot is designed to *<mark style="color:green;">**activate only once within a 24-hour period**</mark>* for each customer
* This feature ensures that customers receive the welcome message at appropriate intervals without overwhelming them with repeated greetings (*The activation timeframe of 24 hours remains constant and cannot be altered or adjusted*)
* Prior to deployment, administrators can define a welcome template message within the bot's settings. This template serves as the standardized greeting that the bot delivers to customers upon activation

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.doubletick.io/bot-studio/default-bots/set-up-welcome-bot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
