    No. Field Description
    1 Conversation Name Fill in the name of your chatbot conversation
    2 Channel

    Enter the channels (channels registered in the Channel Integration Menu) that you want to use in this chatbot conversation.

    You can enter more than 1 channel.

    3 Bot response accuracy

    Bot Response Accuracy is a setting that defines the minimum similarity threshold (in percentage) between a user’s input and the trained data. A higher percentage ensures more accurate responses, while a lower percentage allows greater flexibility but may reduce response relevance.

    4 Triggert text Check Trigger text to enter certain keywords that serve as chatbot triggers to start a conversation.

    - Use a comma (,) or enter (↲) to separate multiple keywords.
    - If the NLP button is activated, the user cannot use Trigger Keywords.

    5 Conversation Operational Hours
    Select Conversation Hours of Operation (Date or Time of Chatbot to respond to user conversations on a predefined channel), based on the following times:
    • All time: select this, if the Chatbot will operate all the time.
    • Schedule: select this, if the Chatbot only operates on certain days and times.
    • Date Range: select this, if you want the Chatbot to only operate on the selected date range.
  5. Click “Save Conversation”  at the bottom right to save the conversation.
  6. Then, you will be directed to the Chatbot Conversation Flow page. To learn about how to manage user input and bot response, learn here.
