### Edit or Update a Bot

After creation of the bot, you can edit the details like the **Bot Name, or** the **time** you want the bot to wait for the response from the user after the last question you asked, or the **message** you want to share with the customer after the wait time, or the **action** you want the bot to do at the end of the conversation. Follow the below GIF to get an understanding.&#x20;

### Clone a Bot

To clone a bot, follow these steps:

1. Find the bot you wish to clone within your list of bots. Click on the 'Clone Bot' option for the bot you selected. The entire bot, including all its flows and settings, will be duplicated. The new bot will have 'copy of' prefixed to its name.

<figure><img src="https://3137140735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZcl3T6ePz95GpzjAeOLW%2Fuploads%2FFsCfMKm1nH99WqeEUJyS%2FDuplicate%20Bot.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=d40778ac-2af0-4b93-8413-aaa0900a8183" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. All connectors, templates, and actions are retained within the same account. All the flows in the duplicated bot will be in the draft state. You will have to publish them individually.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3137140735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZcl3T6ePz95GpzjAeOLW%2Fuploads%2F33yLMjw2EUN2YOaFaspq%2FAll%20copied%20flows.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=f45f098b-26b3-4d10-8bba-385d476d2dc7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. Log data and session data will be cleared in the cloned bot.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If the bot being cloned is a default bot, the cloned bot will **not** be marked as a default bot.
{% endhint %}

Copying a bot in Gallabox keeps its settings and data unchanged.

### Bot Logs

**Logs** provides an overview of different flows details like the flow name, associated intents, last published date, session completion statistics, and overall status. This summary allows users to track the performance and status of various flows within Gallabox.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Voice-enabled bot

Gallabox now supports **voice input and output** for bot interactions. Here’s how you can configure and use it effectively.

{% hint style="info" %}
"Voice" refers to a note recorded directly in WhatsApp, not an audio file like a song or an externally.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

To enable the voice for your bot, check for the toggle under the Custom Configurations while creating a Bot.&#x20;

### Delete Bot

Deleting a bot can impact active conversations, automation flows, and channel assignments. To prevent disruption, Gallabox introduces **warnings, validations, and restrictions** based on the bot’s role in your workspace.

Depending on whether the bot is set as a **default** for any channel or not, the deletion flow varies:

<details>

<summary>Deleting a Non-Default Bot</summary>

A confirmation popup will appear showing active conversations tied to the bot. You must choose what to do with these:

* [x] Move to **Unassigned**
* [x] Mark as **Resolved**

The **Delete** button will remain disabled until one of these options is selected. If there are **0 active conversations**, the options won’t appear and deletion is allowed directly.

**On successful deletion:**

Conversations are moved as per your choice. Logs are updated in both **Conversation Report** and **Activity Log**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Deleting a Default Bot (Blocked)</summary>

1. If a bot is set as default for any WhatsApp channel, deletion will be blocked.

You’ll see a message like this:

> Delete "bot name"
> \
> 🛑 Heads-up
>
> This bot is currently set as the default for the following channels.
> \
> Channel Name 1,Channel Name 2
> \
> You must change your assignment before proceeding.
>
> Go to assignments

A **Go to Assignments** button is provided for quick redirection.
