How to...?

...start a conversation with a welcome / intro message?

You will need behavior rules and an outputset for that.
For the behavior rules, you have three possibilities (ordered by recommendation):

1) Match for the action CONVERSATION_START

{
"behaviorGroups": [
{
"name": "Onboarding",
"behaviorRules": [
{
"name": "Welcome",
"actions": [
"welcome"
],
"conditions": [
{
"type": "actionmatcher",
"configs": {
"actions": "CONVERSATION_START"
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

2) check if the triggered action has never be triggered before

{
"behaviorGroups": [
{
"name": "Onboarding",
"behaviorRules": [
{
"name": "Welcome",
"actions": [
"welcome"
],
"conditions": [
{
"type": "actionmatcher",
"configs": {
"actions": "welcome",
"occurrence": "never"
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

3) Check how often this rule has succeeded before.

{
"behaviorGroups": [
{
"name": "Onboarding",
"behaviorRules": [
{
"name": "Welcome",
"actions": [
"welcome"
],
"conditions": [
{
"type": "occurrence",
"configs": {
"maxTimesOccurred": "0",
"behaviorRuleName": "Welcome"
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

Outputset:

{
"outputSet": [
{
"action": "welcome",
"timesOccurred": 0,
"outputs": [
{
"valueAlternatives": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Some output here...",
"delay": 3000
}
]
}
],
"quickReplies": [
// quickreplies here
]
}
]
}

...say something based on what the bot previously said?

(Think of a form-like behavior, asking a couple of questions and sending these results somewhere.)

Check whether a certain action had been triggered in the previous conversation step.

{
"behaviorGroups": [
{
"name": "Onboarding",
"behaviorRules": [
{
"name": "Ask for Name",
"actions": [
"ask_for_name"
],
"conditions": [
{
"type": "actionmatcher",
"configs": {
"actions": "some_previous_action",
"occurrence": "lastStep"
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
