    2. In the Questions field, enter the expected questions you want to add that could be sent by the end user. You have the option to edit the questions as well as update new questions. To add more questions click + Add Questions, and enter your questions. For example, What are Kaleyra's working hours?, Open time?, and Working hours?.
    3. In the Answer field, enter the answer for the questions that you want to trigger for the questions sent by the end user. For example, Kaleyra's working hours are from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Notes:

  • Toggle the Exact match only option in the Questions subsection if you want the chatbot to respond or reply to end-user questions only if they are a 100 percent match to one of the listed questions you defined. For example, if an Intent with the Exact Match option enabled has Working Hours as the only question, the input from the end-user should be Working Hours, and then the chatbot can answer the question.
  • You can add more than one intent in an infobot.
  • If you add more than one intent then the chatbot will try to match the end user's questions with one of the intents (through Kaleyra's AI-based automated system) and answer accordingly.
