Hey @khan.amir504, That is the designed functionality. If you talk to the Chatbot directly in the Chatbot channel, you will see your messages print. Thanks, Tommy ---

Hey @khan.amir504, You could do this by sending a message via the Chatbot of what you said. Basically a confirmation message: > Thanks, Tommy ---
