The billing section has been added to the Bot Admin Console from ver 7.0, to enable the Bot Admins to view and track their Invoices and plan details.
Note: This page is not available for customers under the Enterprise plan.
Billing Sessions
The Billing sessions are calculated based on
- Bot Usage (Usage Session)
- A usage session is defined as ‘Fifteen minutes’ of user conversation with the bot. For example – If a user converses with the bot for 31 minutes, then it would be counted as 3 sessions (0-15, 16-30,31-End).
- In the case of Human-agent transfer – If the user-bot interaction results in human agent transfer, the time spent with the human agent will be excluded from the bot session.
- Alerts Delivered (Alert Session)
- Every alert delivered to a user will be counted as an Alert session. For example – If the user has set up to receive a sales report every 8 hours. In a day this user would consume 3 alert sessions.
