Javascript is basically a piece of code that can be run on the browser to perform an action. Some of the cases where a Javascript action block can be used are:
Performing maths calculations.
Dynamically rendering the values of the variables.
String modification.
Firing & tracking events in Google Analytics.
You can choose to run the Javascript code either on CLIENT / SERVER.
Here are few of the snippets that you can use to perform the maths calculations within the chatbot flow:

Here is the snippet that you can use to push or record events into Google Analytics or any other analytics tool

Summation (Addition)
const additionResult = num1 + num2;
Num 1 & Num 2 can be any number or variable which has a number stored in it
The result will be stored in additionResult variable
Subtraction (Minus)
const additionResult = num1 - num2;
Num 1 & Num 2 can be any number or variable which has a number stored in it
The result will be stored in additionResult variable
Division (Divide)
const additionResult = num1 / num2;
Num 1 & Num 2 can be any number or variable which has a number stored in it
The result will be stored in additionResult variable
Multiplication (Multiple)
const additionResult = num1 * num2;
Num 1 & Num 2 can be any number or variable which has a number stored in it
The result will be stored in additionResult variable
Set Variable (Conversation)
wn.setConversationVariable(“variable_name”,”variable_value”);
Or
WotNot.setConversationVariables({“variable_name”:”variable_value”})
wn.setConversationVariable(“name_wn”,”ABC”);
Or
WotNot.setConversationVariables({“t1”:”123”})
Set Variable (Contact)
wn.setContactVariable(“variable_name”,”variable_value”);
Or
WotNot.setContactVariables({“variable_name”:”variable_value”})
wn.setContactVariable(“name_wn”,”ABC”);
Or
WotNot.setContactVariables({“t1”:”123”})
Length of String
const lengthOfString = “variable_name”.length();
const lengthOfString = “some_string_content”.length();
//Output: 19
Calculates the number of characters passed/present in the value
Get part of a string
const partOfString = “variable_name”.slice();
const partOfString = “some_string_content”.slice(5);
Note: We need to pass the starting index from where we need to get the sub-string. The index starts from 0. //Output: string_content Commonly used to pass the phone number without country code
Google Analytics 4
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
window.dataLayer.push(arguments);
}
gtag("js", new Date());
gtag("config", "YOUR-MEASUREMENT-ID");
gtag("event", "YOUR-EVENT-NAME", {
"send_to": "YOUR-MEASUREMENT-ID"
// Additional parameters that you may want to pass
});
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
window.dataLayer.push(arguments);
}
gtag("js", new Date());
gtag("config", "123");
gtag("event", "WotNot_Test", {
"send_to": "123",
"name": "Test",
"phone": "123456789",
});
Get current date
const currentDate = new Date();
Helps to get the today’s date
Check if Fromdate should be more than Todate
isFromDateBeforeToDate(fromDate, toDate) {
const fromDateObj = new Date(fromDate);
const toDateObj = new Date(toDate);
return fromDateObj < toDateObj;
}
Helps to trigger the flow the day specific flow
