Hey @Kevin_Gu, thanks for the report and the screenshot!

I can see this on our side. Your Bots are sending a bare “.” when they should just stay quiet, and in a group chat that sets off the other Bots, so it snowballs. I’ve flagged it to the team.

If you see the same thing in a 1:1 chat, could you reply with the Bot’s name and roughly what time it happened? That helps us confirm it’s the same issue.

Yes the bots are sending “.” in the 1:1 chat at the same time of them sending it to the team chat, Bays Sales, Bays GTM, Bays Ops and Bays Chief are all doing it, I’ve noticed it since 4pm PST. thanks.
