For the last 18+ months we've been building all our message bots (SMS, FB, IG, Chat Widget) using Consolidata. I still have a couple hundred bots running on my Consolidata setups. Starting immediately, we're building all messenger bots using High Level. Why? First, the High Level bots have caught up and they are good enough (if not better) than the Consolidata bots. Second, it's much more simple to set these up. You install the snapshot, modify the prompt a bit, and they are ready to go. In the past we'd have to connect Open AI to Consolidata then Consolidata to High Level. God Forbid one of them went down or connections broke or whatever and sometimes it could end up being hours of troubleshooting. Ideally, I'd like everything to be in GHL for one master snapshot install and we have everything built inside GHL. As of now we're ALMOST that. The only thing we don't have in GHL is voice. GHL does have inbound voice but I don't like the quality as much as Vapi so we're still connecting GHL to Vapi. Head over to the classroom and go to the Messenger AI Bot Building Training then go to High Level Bot Building Training to see this new training. So far I have the intro with the snapshot available plus training on how to set up the SMS bot. This is for paid members only. If you have any questions post here and I'm happy to help.

Your bots are probably down right now. This is how to fix it! https://www.loom.com/share/3fef0a8d53c9470c95f6e3f028d5db32

Hey @Russ Ward we have a FB messenger ad running to the bot. It books appts and also helps to qualify leads. Works really freaking great! The problem is I noticed FB will stop messages after 7 days. So we want to try to get the phone number and email somewhere before those 7 days. We don't go in for the kill right away and ask for the appt and I do think that helps build up some trust with the bot. Do you recommend putting in there "after X amount of questions, get the phone number" or some type of prompt like that to help with this? Our goal is an appt but even if we can get some contact info outside of FB then the businsess can follow up there as well which is still a good lead.
