Periscope Chat Bots

I made a snatchbot that's working GREAT in FB, Skype, web and email. But where I really need this bot to work is on Periscope. And to a lesser degree on Twitter. Could we get a tutorial on porting to these sites? Thanks.

Very slow loading of the chat bot for my site

Very slow loading of the chat bot for my site. I have a pro subscription which I assumed would fix the massive 5-10 second delay lags post website opening up but this is incredibly slow. My server is located in France. My customers are in India. My page load time on desktop is 4 to 5 seconds. On mobile its 7 seconds. But the bot loads late on 10th second and then when you click the button the popup takes another 5 to 10 seconds to load. Can the bot be loaded on my server OR can you have it close to my server if you use aws or similar ? I need it to load faster otherwise I need a refund and cancel my subcription as its pointless to have a "SLOW ROBOT". This was made for a leading healthcare provider in India. www.cims.org

Bot suddenly dies sometimes.

Sometimes, without any reason, my Telegram bot dies and whenever this happens, I have to delete the bot from Snatchbot and Telegram and I have to create anytime a new one. It Is pretty annoying. Any reason for this problem? The bot works on test chat, but not on Telegam, here's username: @yourchoicerobot. Start it and write /restart, then try with other commands such as /newstory. It won't respond.

Several bugs about CSS and Style

I understand that Snatchbot is still in beta, but I hope you can solve this. I simply want to have what you show in your videos on Youtube: the Facebook Messenger style (theme, skin), that is, local user: white text on blue background, remote user: black text on gray background. But now you display black text for both. Where has the Messenger theme gone? So I went to 'Customize colors' (Channels > Web > Edit channel data > Advanced options), but it only gives the option to edit User and Bot message background colors. Then I tried to use the 'Custom CSS' feature (Channels > Web > Edit channel data -> GET EMBED CODE > Customize your chat window with CSS), but it is completely undocumented (not a single line on the Internet explains what to do), so I started experimenting. I downloaded https://snatchbot.me/css/style.css and edited it, creating a modified version, which I uploaded. The file https://snatchbot.me/custom/<botID>.css is created and loaded correctly, but I think style.css and custom.css conflict. Besides, there's also another file (https://snatchbot.me/getBotChatSettings/<botID>) that's loaded and overwrites the settings. The mapping is: User Message - "message_color", Bot message - "bot_message_color". Analyzing the CSS in style.css I've managed to find the rule '.light{color:#000}', but it applies to both user/bot text colors.

IFRAME embed not working properly

Greetings, i´ve embedded a bot via iframe and the web chat url. That worked a couple of days but suddenly the bot does not start anymore. Only the upper menu bar and the chat panel are visible but no interaction is possible. Do you have an idea how to fix that? Thanks in advance and kind regards, Sebastian

Can I embed snatchbot directly to my website without the button?

I'd like the chat bot to span the full width of the page whenever the user opens the webpage, but right now it shows up as a button in the corner that has to be clicked to expand out to the page. How do you customize either the embedded code or the css to fix this?

How to end chat

Say the user ends the conversation with bot, reaching the last interaction. In that situation, how to end or close the chat AUTOMATICALLY, preventing the last interaction to repeat over and over? My system needs that when the user finishes the chat, if he/she restart it again, he/she will have a different snatchbot user_id. "Restart" command is not good, cause it preserves the this user_id. I could only get a new user_id by closing the chat and reopening it again (or refreshing the page, when the chat is embedded through iframe). That is why I am asking: how to automatically end/close the chat after the last interaction, requiring the user to reopening it again, with a different user_id, preventing the last interaction to repeat over and over? Thanks.
