Triggers: Empty Message
This document provides a brief overview of how to utilize the Empty Message trigger.
The Empty Message trigger is a new feature integrated into Flow to enhance user interaction.
When a user sends an empty message, the Empty Message trigger is activated, allowing your bot to handle this scenario.

Integration & Configuration
The Empty Message trigger seamlessly integrates into existing chatbot workflows. There is no need for additional configuration or setup, making it easy to implement across various platforms.
Upon selecting the Empty Message trigger, you will notice that there are no additional settings visible on the right panel. An Empty Message trigger will always behave in the exact same way: it will be triggered when the user sends an empty message.
Optimized Experience
The Unknown doesn't get matched for empty messages, so these would not trigger any bot flow without the use of the Empty Message trigger. By adding both to your bot, you can ensure customers do not get ignored by your automation.
