A script is a pre-planned and sequential chain of interrelated steps that automatically responds to events. An event is considered to be the fulfillment of the conditions or actions specified in the script.
The use of scripts in edna Pulse is only available for the WhatsApp channel. To access the scripts, contact your personal edna manager.
Purpose and Possibilities of Scripts
- Automate and speed up audience interaction processes.
- Prepare the optimal set of steps for effective audience communication and script delivery.
- Schedule and configure automatic execution of standard, predictable, or frequent tasks in response to audience actions.
Script Elements
Elements used to create a sequential chain of steps for a script in edna Pulse:
- The start block is the first step of the script and defines a start condition that automatically starts the script and moves it to the second step in the chain. For example, the script start condition can be to receive an incoming message in the specified WhatsApp account.
- An action is a script step that defines an action to be performed automatically after a specific event.
- A condition is a script step that defines a requirement that should be met in order to automatically proceed to the next step in the chain.
The start block is a mandatory element of the script, and the number of conditions and actions is unlimited.

Limitations
- To run the script, you should configure the start block and add at least one action.
- Only one script can be run for a WhatsApp account, and it will be in the active state. The number of scripts in other statuses for an account is unlimited.
- The time limit for an action by the recipient from the script audience is 48 hours.
If a script audience recipient is inactive for more than 48 hours after the initial start condition is triggered, the script will automatically terminate for them.
