How to Create a Follow-Up Button in CometAI

Table of Contents

Follow-Up Buttons are one-click shortcuts that let you run predefined instructions in a conversation. Instead of retyping common follow-up requests, you can create a button that appears automatically, ready to use.

What Makes Follow-Up Buttons Different?

Unlike regular Prompt Templates, Follow-Up Buttons streamline repetitive actions (e.g., summarizing or reformatting) and can be set to appear only when specific tags are present in a conversation. This makes them perfect for actions that are only relevant in specific contexts.

Steps to Create a Follow-Up Button

  • Log in to CometAI.
  • Create a Prompt Template
    • On the right-hand panel, select + Prompt Template (Figure 1).

  • Fill in the required fields:
    • Name - A clear title for your template.
    • Description - A short explanation of what it does.

  • Prompt - The actual instructions for the follow-up button.

Optional: Add any Conversation Tags you would like the follow-up button to attach to conversations. You can add more than 1 tag by separating them through commas.
  • Select Template Type
    • At the bottom of the window, choose Follow-Up Button as the Template Type (Figure 2).

  • Set Required Tags (Unique to Follow-Up Buttons)
    • When you select Follow-Up Button, the Required Tags field will appear.
    • Enter the tag(s) that must be present in a conversation for this button to show up. You can add multiple tags by separating them with commas.
    • If this is empty, then it will pop up in all your conversations

Note: Previous step ensures your buttons are context-aware and only show up when they are relevant.
  • Save the Button
    • Give it a clear name so you can recognize it at a glance.
    • Once saved, the button will appear below conversations that match the required tags.

Advanced Use: Combining Buttons with a Single Tag

You can assign the same Required Tag to multiple Follow-Up Buttons to create a contextual toolkit. For example, the oit-ne tag can be used to display a set of buttons for welcoming a new employee, creating a to-do list, and more.

The single oit-ne tag makes both the "Welcome Email" and "To-Do list" buttons appear.

Best Practices

  • Use Tags Strategically: Group related workflows under a single tag so relevant buttons appear together.
  • Keep Prompts Concise: Design follow-ups for targeted actions like "Summarize this content using bullet points" or "Convert to Markdown."
  • Experiment with Combinations: Link Assistants and Follow-Up Buttons for powerful, multi-step workflows.
