Use Templates to Create Chatbots

You can now use chatbot templates in Answers.

A chatbot template is a predesigned chatbot that uses example content, configuration, and integration to simulate a real-life chatbot. You can use a template in the following ways:

• Use it as it is for testing and learning about Answers. You can activate the template immediately.
• Use it as a base to build a chatbot. Instead of creating a chatbot from scratch, you can create a chatbot from a template. You can then customize the chatbot for your use case and requirements, and use it in a live environment.
• Use it as a base to build advanced chatbots to use in a live environment.

You can explore chatbot templates in your Infobip account (opens in a new tab). For information about templates and how to use them, refer to the Create Chatbot from a Template documentation.

New Custom Events Element

Use the new chatbot element, Custom Events, to send custom events to People.

When an end user interacts with your chatbot and performs an action, you can pass this event to People, and save it against the end user's Person profile. You can then retrieve this information from People to use in interactions with the end user.

Example:

• Use the event as context in Answers and Conversations.
• Follow up with the end user through a Flow campaign in Moments.
• Use the event properties to populate computed attributes in People.

For information about configuring and using the element, refer to the Custom Events documentation.

Catalogs

Use Catalogs over API

Use the Catalogs API to create and manage catalogs and their contents. Use these catalogs in your interactions with end users.

Example:

• Create a list of stores and their details, such as location, phone number, and working hours. Use this information when an end user asks you for a store that is nearest to their location.
• Create a list of products and their details, such as description, image, and price. Use this information to suggest product options to end users.
• Create a list of articles or newsletters, and their details, such as title, description, and image. Share these articles with end users to promote your products.

For more information, refer to the Catalogs over API and the Catalogs API (opens in a new tab) documentation.

Adjustable Profile Export

Profile export has been given a real boost in People this month. Now you can select only the profile data and attributes that you want to export. By filtering out unwanted attributes at the export stage, you no longer have to worry about large export files and cleaning the data file after export.

Events Export Quick Start Page

We've created a dedicated page in Infobip to make it easier for you to start using the events export API. Follow the Events Export (opens in a new tab) quick start guide, or learn more at Events in External Systems.

Email Editor in Moments

Inbox Preview
