Configuring Chatbot Scenarios

Utilize chatbot scenarios to respond to user inputs using pre-defined messages, or redirect them to different flows using the power of artificial intelligence

The inputs of users are varying, but certain inputs, such as those which the chatbot cannot provide an answer to, or those that may be offensive, can be configured to give a pre-defined response. This is done through the use of AI, which analyses the input to understand its intent, and responds back with the correct pre-defined response. Additionally, for better organization, you can have different flows. Utilizing the power of artificial intelligence, we can use flow redirection to analyze the users input, and then redirect them to the appropriate flow at any time.

Steps for Setup of Dynamic Chatflow Configuration:

  1. Login to your BotPenguin account and select the desired bot in the dashboard.

  2. Click on โ€œWhatsApp Chatbot Settingsโ€.

Click on desired bot's setting
  1. Go to the โ€œAI Settingsโ€ tab, and proceed to โ€œConfigure Botโ€™s Personalityโ€

  1. Click on the toggle to disable the โ€œLet AI Manage bot's personality as neededโ€, as we need to customize the responses of our chatbot to certain intents. Then, go to โ€œCreate Personaโ€.

  1. Upon reaching the main screen here, go to โ€œChat Scenariosโ€.

If you are configuring the bot for the first time, then the above fields (Persona Details, Communication Style) also need to be filled for the redirection to work.

  1. Click on the โ€œAdd-Action buttonโ€ to proceed to the configuration of the chatbot.

  1. Complete the form with the relevant details for the bot. The fields to fill are as follows:

    1. Name: Specify the name of the chat. This name will be the primary description of the trigger. E.g.: โ€œFlowersโ€ for redirection to flowers chat

    2. Trigger: Define the action to be executed when the specified condition is met. Options include triggering a specific message or an entire chat flow.

      1. Message: Enter the message to be displayed in the chat.

      2. Flow: Select the chat flow to be triggered.

    3. Based on the previous Trigger input:

      1. Message: Enter the message that is to be displayed when triggered. Eg. If the message is offensive, the response message can be "I am not quite used to this language".

      2. Flow: Select the flow onto which the chat should be redirected to.

  1. Click on โ€œAdd Intentโ€ to finish setup.

Remember to toggle on the button to enable the message/flow redirection.
