Let\u2019s talk about proactive messaging!

Michelle Parayil, Conversation Design Manager at Haptik, knows all about it. She\u2019s learnt a great deal about proactive messaging with conversational AI, and shares her learnings and experiences. 

When\u2019s the best time to do proactive messaging? How do we avoid a notification pile-up when sending chat messages proactively? Can a bot that\u2019s too proactive create a bad user experience? It\u2019s all in there, and more\u2026

A wee note about this episode: Michelle called while she was in the middle of a thunderstorm! That\u2019s dedication for you. There\u2019s a few booms and bangs in the background, but she\u2019s still loud and clear. Hope you enjoy it.
