Default message for a chat bot


I am using Microsoft Bot integrated to a web page via a Direct Line channel. I was wondering if I can change the default message on the chat bot "Type your message". Please see the attached image:

Solution

  • Unfortunately, there is no way to set the send box placeholder message at the moment. There is currently a GitHub issue requesting the functionality that is being tracked here. Might be beneficial to leave a +1 on the placeholder issue.

    Hope this helps.
