When using messaging I want to create a trigger to send an automated response if a messaging customer hasn't received a response within a certain about of seconds/minutes while active on the messaging chat bubble on our website.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

We really need more Messaging trigger options.

Hi Shelly,

Similar to what was explained in the support ticket you raised with our team, what you're looking to achieve is not currently possible using a Chat Trigger (due to limited trigger conditions), I also confirmed that this is the same for Support Triggers and Automation. 

You can create a Trigger to send email notifications to the end user based on the available Trigger conditions, however, there is no Trigger Action to send an automated response via Messaging for Messaging tickets. 

The available Support Trigger Action (specific for sending notifications) is currently limited to the following:

Hi Christine -  bumping Shelly's use case as we also need that. There is a messaging channel in the chat/messaging trigger but not working properly. 

Hope we can revisit this soon.

Hi Shawna James - I can definitely post feedback but appreciate if the Messaging Trigger in Admin Center can be enable for us soon as this may potentially be the solution to this limitation. 

There is already a rolled out solution but not yet available for everyone hence will be much appreciated if we can have this feature in our instance.

Hello Shawna James - do we happen to have timeline as to when this will be available in our instance?

With the addition of Messaging Triggers to the already existing Triggers section, what is the order in which these fire? I would like to know if Triggers are run before Messaging Triggers, or vice versa.
