Enhance TooltipMessage with Interactive Pop-Up and Closing Option #278
Description
Currently, the TooltipMessage in the chatbot is functional but could be improved to align with the user experience provided by other modern chatbots. Making the TooltipMessage more interactive and noticeable would engage users better and create a more intuitive interaction.
Proposed Enhancements:
Interactive Pop-Up Behavior:
After a few seconds, the TooltipMessage should appear automatically in the form of speech bubbles. This mimics the behavior of many modern chatbots and makes it feel like the chatbot is actively "speaking" to the user.
The speech bubble could include animations or subtle effects to make it stand out and feel dynamic.
Customizable Timer:
Add an option to configure the delay for when the TooltipMessage appears, allowing developers or users to adjust the timing based on their needs.
Close/Dismiss Option:
Provide a clear way for users to dismiss the TooltipMessage, such as a small "x" button or a swipe gesture (especially for mobile users).
Once dismissed, the Tooltip should not reappear unless the chat session is refreshed or explicitly reopened.
Benefits:
Improved User Engagement:
A speech bubble-style TooltipMessage feels more interactive and personal, encouraging users to engage with the chatbot.
Enhanced User Experience (UX):
Giving users control over dismissing the message prevents frustration, especially for repeat visitors or mobile users who want an uncluttered interface.
Alignment with Modern Standards:
This change would make the chatbot feel more dynamic and aligned with the experience provided by other leading chatbot platforms.
Optional Additions:
Allow customization of the speech bubble design, such as size, colors, icons, or text styles, to fit the branding of different deployments.
Add a short typing animation before the TooltipMessage appears to simulate a more conversational tone.
Summary:
This feature would improve the interactivity and accessibility of the TooltipMessage, making it more engaging and user-friendly. The ability to dismiss the Tooltip adds to the flexibility and enhances the overall experience, particularly for mobile users.
