Ok everyone,
I had a crazy issue that just got fixed literally a few min. ago after investing weeks of time trying to figure it out with GHL Sr. Support and Sr. Support over at Zapier.
All I had to do was simply turn off: Allow Multiple Contacts in my business settings and that fixed the Chatbot to actually start communicating with me. Now I have some other issue with the prompts not sending back and forth. I think I am going to walk thru the videos again just to make sure I refresh everything after so many troubleshooting steps.
