Managing Interactions

Interaction is the exchange of messages with humans that are grouped together into a single piece of logic. When you create a Bot, you can add different interactions based on which you want your Bot to interact with humans.


By adding one or more interactions to the Bot, you can enable the Bot to perform different operations.



Changing the interaction name


  1. Navigate to the Bots page.
  2. In the Bots design section, click the gear icon on the interaction button.


  3. In the pop-up menu, click Change interaction name.
    The dialog box appears to specify the new name.


  4. In the text field, enter the new name and click Save.

Settings context


Contexts represent the current state of a user's request and allow the agent to carry information from one intent to another. Intents recognition can be controlled by using contexts.


Note: When you set the context value for an interaction, the nm:context attribute is automatically set to the specified value. If you do not specify the context value for an interaction, the nm:context attribute is removed from that interaction.


  1. In the Bots design section, click the gear icon on the interaction button.


  2. In the pop-up menu, click Set context.
  3. In the text field, enter the context value.


  4. Click Save.


Managing intents

When creating interaction, you can add new intents, edit and delete existing intents.

      For more information, see Manage expressions in the intent.

      The intent is immediately deleted.
