System events

Quick reminder: chatbot conversations built with Activechat consist of multiple skills, and these skills are triggered by events. There are custom events that you can trigger with the SEND or TRIGGER blocks, and system events, that are triggered automatically upon certain conditions.
System events (and other events in the bot too) can also be triggered with “/” commands (type “/start” in the conversation to trigger the “start” event, for example).
