Intent Category

Introduction 

Categories help you segregate intents and group them into a specific type. You can arrange intents related to a topic or feature under one category for organizing them well and for ease of use. 

For example, while creating intents, you may bundle specific intents related to subscription under a subscription category. 

 

Default categories 

Comm100 provides the default categoriesSystem and Smalltalk in the root folder. While creating new intents, you may choose any of the existing categories or create a new one.

  

The system category helps the user navigate the bot, like: 

  • Menu 
  • Help 
  • Bot info 
  • start over 
  • Feedback 
  • Human 

The Smalltalk category has intents that are not directly related to bot function. However, they are essential to user engagement, like: 

  • Hello 
  • Good morning 
  • How are you 
  • Goodbye 
  • Goodnight 
  • Thank you 
     

Note:  

  • You cannot move, edit, or delete the root folder or category.  
  • Ensure that the names of categories should be unique.
