BotConfig.questions = [{'dob': {
            id: 1,
            message: "What's your Date of Birth (DD/MM/YYYY)?",
            questionKey : 'dob',
            handlers: [
                {
                    validators: dateReg,
                    nextQuestion: 'email',
                },
                {
                    validators: dateRegNeg,
                    nextQuestion: 'dobWrong',
                },
            ],
        }},'dobWrong': {
            id: 2,
            message: "Please enter a valid date of birth",
            questionKey : 'dob',
            handlers: [
                {
                    validators: dateReg,
                    nextQuestion: 'email',
                },
                {
                    validators: dateRegNeg,
                    nextQuestion: 'dobWrong',
                },
