What is Automation/Workflows & Conversation AI?

Automation/Workflows & Conversation AI is a feature that combines the robust automation capabilities of workflows with the conversational expertise of AI.

Whether you're handling customer inquiries or streamlining internal processes, this integration takes your automation to the next level.

Using Automation/Workflows with Conversation AI - in depth examples

“Conversation AI” Action

The Conversation AI Action enables the AI to initiate conversations with customers automatically, based on specific triggers, ensuring timely and relevant engagement.

Once the "Conversation AI Action" is configured, the process begins with the bot sending a prompt to the contact, drawing any required context from the "Bot Training" in the sub-account settings. The bot then waits for a response within the time limit set in the action. If no reply is received within this timeframe, the contact is directed down the "Time-Out" branch, which can be used to create follow-ups. When a response is received in time, the bot evaluates the contact's reply against predefined conditions. If no condition is met, the contact follows the "No Condition Met" branch, which can include "GOTO" actions for further questions. If a condition is met, the contact proceeds down the corresponding branch for tailored interactions.

“Update Conversation AI Bot and Status” Action

The "Update Conversation AI Bot and Status" Action empowers users to automate the status management of the Conversation AI Bot for individual contacts, toggling between Active and Inactive as needed. This functionality simplifies the process of managing the bot by ensuring it adapts dynamically to each contact's journey or specific criteria. By eliminating the need for manual status updates, this action enhances efficiency and ensures seamless, context-appropriate interactions.

“Appointment Booking Conversation AI Bot” Action

The "Appointment Booking Conversation AI Bot" Action enables automated and efficient scheduling for your customers. By integrating directly with your calendar, the bot guides customers through the booking process with pre-defined prompts and guidelines, ensuring a seamless experience. You can configure a maximum message limit and timeout settings to control the bot's response flow. For example, if the customer fails to reply within the specified timeout or chooses not to book, the process diverts to the "Appointment Not Booked" branch. Alternatively, successful bookings are confirmed under the "Appointment Was Booked" branch. This action allows you to maintain clarity and efficiency in scheduling while enhancing customer engagement. Additional customization options include disabling automatic confirmation messages and defining conditional branches for handling timeouts, successful bookings, or non-bookings, ensuring comprehensive workflow management.

Trigger a Automation/Workflow from Conversation AI

The "Trigger an Automation/Workflow from Conversation AI" feature will soon be publicly available, enabling seamless integration between Conversation AI and your workflows. This functionality allows you to automate processes directly from customer interactions, ensuring efficient and responsive operations tailored to user needs. 

Best Practices for Automation/Workflows & Conversation AI
