No problem here you will work with MonkeyConversation directly. But what if the user sends in a message like “abstract”? <tt>

message = IncomingTextMessage.last
topic = message.text.split(" ").first
=> "abstract"
number = message.number
=> "123456789"
conversation = Conversation.new(:with => number, :topic => topic).details
=> #<AbstractConversation topic: "abstract", with: "123456789">

</tt> Now you’re are about to work with AbstractConversation directly which is not what you want. Let’s fix it <tt>

# config/initializers/conversation.rb
Conversation.exclude AbstractConversation
Conversation.unknown_topic_subclass = UnkownTopicConversation

</tt>

<tt>

message = IncomingTextMessage.last
topic = message.text.split(" ").first
=> "abstract"
number = message.number
=> "123456789"
conversation = Conversation.new(:with => number, :topic => topic).details
=> #<UnknownTopicConversation topic: "abstract", with: "123456789">

</tt>
