setInitialStep

Set which step the context starts on when entered. By default, a context starts on its first step (index 0). Use this to skip a preamble step on re-entry via change_context.

The step name is validated by ContextBuilder.validate() — the target step must exist in this context or validation throws.

Parameters

Returns

Context — self for method chaining.

Example

1
import { ContextBuilder } from '@signalwire/sdk';
2
3
const builder = new ContextBuilder();
4
const billing = builder.addContext('billing');
5
billing.addStep('greeting').setText('Welcome to billing.');
6
billing.addStep('verify').setText('Please verify your account.');
7
billing.setInitialStep('verify'); // skip the greeting on re-entry
