Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Chat - Invalid welcome text when opening a conversation with a new user

What is the root cause of that problem?

Changes Request

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We need to update the reportActionsView on here and here

    reportActionsView: {
        ....
        beginningOfChatHistory: 'This is the beginning of your chat with ',
        ...
        usePlusButton: ({additionalText}: UsePlusButtonParams) => `\nYou can also use the + button to ${additionalText}!`,
        askConcierge: '\nAsk questions and get 24/7 realtime support.',
        iouTypes: {
            pay: 'pay',
            split: 'split',
            submit: 'submit',
            track: 'track',
            invoice: 'invoice',
        },
        anExpense: 'an expense',
        assignTask: 'assign a task',
    },

and update the additionalText on here

    const additionalText = `${filteredOptions.map((item) => `${translate(`reportActionsView.iouTypes.${item}`)} ${translate('reportActionsView.anExpense')}`).join(', ')} ${translate(
        'common.or',
    )} ${translate('reportActionsView.assignTask')}`;
    },

RESULT

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Or just update the reportActionsView to

    reportActionsView: {
        ...
        beginningOfChatHistory: 'This is the beginning of your chat with ',
        ...
        usePlusButton: ({additionalText}: UsePlusButtonParams) => `\nYou can also use the + button to ${additionalText}, or assign a task!`,        
        askConcierge: '\nAsk questions and get 24/7 realtime support.',
        iouTypes: {
            pay: 'pay expenses',
            split: 'split an expense',
            submit: 'submit an expense',
            track: 'track an expense',
            invoice: 'invoice an expense',
        },
    },

and update the additionalText

const additionalText = filteredOptions.map((item) => translate(`reportActionsView.iouTypes.${item}`)).join(', ');
