Understanding the Interface​

When you enter the Chatbot Builder app, you'll see a canvas where you can build your chatbot flow. This is your main workspace where you'll design how users interact with your bot.

  • Link Nodes: Share URLs and web content
  • Menu Nodes: Create split flows with multiple options
  • Question Nodes: Collect user responses and store them in variables

Commands and Flow​

  • You can add custom commands to your bot through the Chatbot Builder
  • Each command can have its own unique flow and behavior
