Contact Notification#

The block sends your text to another contact — for example, a specialist, a courier or a tutor who is subscribed to the bot themselves. The recipient sees the message in their chat with the bot. No dialogue between the people is opened.

Settings#

• "Contact source" — how to determine the recipient:
  • "Specified contact" — choose the recipient by hand. Choose a bot in the "Bot" field, then find the person by name, phone or username in the "Contact" field. The recipient can be a contact of any of your bots.
  • "List entry field from the previous block" — the recipient is taken from the list entry that the previous block found or created: "Read list entry", "Add list entry" or "Check if a list entry exists". In the "Exact contact field name" field, type the name of the field of that entry which stores the contact's ID.
• "Notification template" — the message text, up to 4096 characters. Templates work in it: the data inserted is that of the contact going through the scenario, not of the recipient.

Outputs#

• "Continue" — fires right after the block.

Good to know#

• The recipient can only be a contact of your bots.
• If the template is empty, the person going through the scenario sees "Message template is empty". If the recipient is not found — "Contact not found". In both cases the scenario moves on through the "Continue" output.
