How to effectively reset conversation.

[MartinBodocky]

I have solution where I have four different use cases. I would like to keep header just change text.

This is inside one content div frame. I have tried to apply reset like following:
element.fbMessenger({
botName: '...
})
.fbMessenger('reset');

or after start:

element
.fbMessenger('start', { delay: 3000 })
.fbMessenger('reset')

or before run:
element
.fbMessenger('reset')
.fbMessenger('run', { timestamp: this.now, delay: 2000 });

All of those ends with error:
Error: Must call start before sending messages

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

Just came across this problem as well, I used this approach to workaround it.

var runningDemo = $('.phone')
	.fbMessenger({
		botName: 'My Bot',
		botWelcomeMessage: 'This is a simulated Facebook Messenger bot for demonstration purposes only.',
		loop: false,
	});

runningDemo.fbMessenger('init');

runningDemo.fbMessenger('start', { delay: 5 * 1000 });

runningDemo.fbMessenger('message', 'bot', 'Hope this helps', { delay: 1500 });

runningDemo.fbMessenger('run');

The line runningDemo.fbMessenger('init'); does the magic of resetting the conversation.

Hope it helps :)
