9.Fill in the first textbox the text you want to appear on the shortcut button. Then you have two options in the drop down.

The first option is "text" in this case the second textbox will be a free text that will be said by the user when he/she presses on the shortcut. In most cases this second textbox will be the same as the first textbox. For instance, the button will have text "SEO" and when pressed it will be understood as if "Seo services" was typed.

The second option is "faq" in this case you may add the faqid of Q&As that you already configured inside the chatbot (e.g. faq2, faq22, ...). In that case the chatbot will jump to that specific Q&A when the shortcut is pressed by the visitor. Check there are Q&As for this in your chatbot, otherwise create a new Q&A (answer).
