Flow is not triggering on keyword match

Hasan Jubair β€” Question Β·
Hi,
We have two flows active with a keyword-matching trigger. I've attached the screenshot. 
But when leads come into our WhatsApp with a message, the keyword is not triggered automatically. 

Can you please investigate and let me know how we can resolve this?

Thanks.

Hello Hasan,

Thank you for the update.

We checked the screenshot and noticed that the chat status was changed from Open to Intervened.

For the keyword trigger to work, the chat status needs to be Open. If the chat is in Intervened status, please change it back to Open and then send the keyword message again to test the flow.

Please check this and let us know whether the keyword trigger works after changing the status to Open.

Thanks & Regards,

The chat stays open for some time, then we intervene. So the flow has enough time to trigger.

How long does the keyword matching flow need to trigger? Isn't it instant?

Hello Hasan,

Yes, the keyword matching is instant once the incoming message matches the configured keyword.

However, the chat must be in Open status for the keyword flow to trigger. If the chat has been moved to Intervened status, the keyword flow will not trigger, even if the keyword matches.

Since you mentioned that the chat remains open for some time before you intervene, please test the keyword while the chat is still in Open status and confirm the result.
