Restart the chatbot conversation in whatsapp

At a glance

A community member asks how to restart a WhatsApp chatbot conversation after a session ends, similar to the functionality available in test view. Initially, another member indicates this isn't possible, but it's mentioned that this feature will be implemented in a future update (referenced in a GitHub issue).

As a workaround, one community member suggests setting the timeout to 0.1 (which equals 10 minutes), after which the WhatsApp session automatically restarts due to inactivity. There is some discussion about whether this timeout is actually 6 or 10 minutes, as it appears to be 10% of an hour.

There is no way to do that unfortunately
Thanks @Baptiste How to handle this without code change, which means is there any control / block available to kill existing session
I always set the timeout for 0.1 (10 min), so after 10 min without interation the whatsapp restart the session.

Not sure if this is 10min or 6min since it appears to be 10% of a hour, but doesn't matter, right? πŸ˜„
