Start a Flow after Receiving a Message that Doesn't Match Any Keywords

Use this trigger to start a flow after receiving an uncaught message (a message not handled by any of your other flows or triggers). We refer to this as the "catch-all" trigger, as it can be used to route uncaught messages to any of your flows.

To create a catch-all trigger:

Navigate to the Triggers tab and click 'New Trigger'.



Click the "Start a flow after receiving a message that doesn't match any keywords" option.



Choose the flow you want to start and, optionally, which channel this should apply to & any groups to include or exclude.



Click the "New Trigger" button.
