Configure your agent

Configure the conversational flow for your agent. Sections, instructions, welcome message, and best practices.

Plan your conversation structure

Before adding sections, outline the key stages of your ideal conversation, such as Introduction, Information gathering, Problem solving, and Conclusion.

Create sections for each stage

Add a section for each conversation stage with clear, descriptive titles and detailed instructions for the agent.

Provide detailed instructions

In each section, include what information to collect, how to respond to specific questions, when to move to the next stage, and any actions to take (e.g., scheduling or data collection).

Test and refine

After setting up your flow, test conversations to ensure the agent follows instructions. Refine sections based on user interactions and add new ones as needed.

Best practices

  • Write instructions in clear, direct language
  • Include example responses for complex scenarios
  • Specify exactly what information to collect
  • Provide fallback instructions for unexpected situations
  • Keep sections focused on specific conversation stages

Pro tips

  • Start with fewer sections and add more as needed
  • Use the drag-and-drop feature to optimize conversation flow
  • Review conversation recordings to identify areas for improvement
  • Update your flow regularly based on common user interactions
