Going on Holiday? Let Your Bot Handle It Like a Pro – Here’s How!
Hey Manychatters! Trilce Jirón-Garro here from sunny Costa Rica
Whether it’s Easter, summer break, or a well-deserved vacation, your chatbot shouldn’t go on holiday just because you do. In this quick video (under 4 minutes!), I’ll walk you through how I automate my business responses while I'm away — without missing a single lead.
Inside the Tutorial: One Flow to Rule Them All: How I built a single default reply that works across Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Messenger, and Facebook.
Smart Conditions: Automatically detect where the message is coming from and reply on that exact channel (yes, including TikTok!).
Set It & Forget It: Activate this once and turn off other keywords/intents to avoid confusion.
Meet Julito! Our friendly AI assistant who chats while we’re offline – so customers still get help, and we can reply personally when we're back.
Bonus Tip: Don’t forget to temporarily turn off your conversation starters + other live automations that might interfere while you’re away!
This setup has saved me countless hours and kept our customer conversations running smoothly even when my team and I are out of office.

Let your bot work smarter, not harder — even when you're sipping piña coladas.
