Flows are great at grabbing the correct information from your Knowledge Sources, but some queries are simply too important to risk inconsistency. You can ensure consistent responses by adding pre-defined questions and answers. It’s also a great way to ensure the Chatbot’s answers match the ones in your FAQ.
Adding Questions & Answers
Navigate to Questions & Answers and click + Add Question:
Primary Question
This is the user’s query that triggers the answer. For example, “What’s the pricing?”
Secondary Question
Secondary questions let you easily link an unlimited number of similar queries. For example, for the pricing question, you can add secondary questions about the costs or the pricing plans.
Answer
The answer field features a full-fledged text editor, allowing you to craft complex answers, including images, tables, links, and formatting.
