Koji is polite, so all users get a welcome message when they open the chatbot. You can edit this message to make it match your organization’s style by adding colors, images, and personalization.
Editing a message
To edit a welcome message, go to Koji settings and click Edit in the Welcome section.
Feel free to modify your message, as you can always restore the default welcome message by clicking the round arrow icon.
Editing modes
There are 2 modes of editing a message: plain text and HTML.
If you want to keep a message rather simple, stick to the plain mode.
If you plan to add images or use HTML tags, switch to the HTML mode.
Buttons
Welcome messages are equipped with pre-built buttons — Knowledge self-help and Quick request management. These buttons are added automatically.
These buttons provide users with quick access to Koji’s functionalities, such as finding information, and managing requests.
Personalizing
You can make welcome messages personalized by using keys. When a key is used, Koji replaces it with the actual value, making a message more vivid. For instance, a firstname key is replaced with the person’s name. Simple and effective.
To use a key in the message, use the following syntax: %(firstname)s. For example, to give someone a nice welcome, use the message of the following kind: Hello, %(firstname)s! Hope you are doing fine today!

Testing your custom welcome message
Once you have defined a nice welcome message, you can test it and make sure it looks just as you need it. To do so:
Open the chat by clicking the Chat icon in the upper right of the window.
If you already have some conversations there, click hamburger menu in the upper left of the chat pane and select Clear the chat.
Once the chat is refreshed, the welcome message is displayed.
