Questions are the core of Ochatbot and how you start the conversation with your users. When you first build your bot, you will only have the "Default Question, but when the time comes to create a new one, here's how to do it.
First, click the New Question button in the center of the Questions tab.
You'll be presented with this form:
Let's break down what each part does.
Name
This is where you will put the name of your question. Remember that naming is very important to keeping your bot organized and easy to understand. For more information on naming, see Naming Conventions for Intents and Questions
Description
Here you can add clarifying information about what the question does or why the question is being asked. While not necessary, it's helpful to help stay organized and is invaluable when working with a team.
Default Question Option
You will also see the option to make a new question the default question. Since most time Ochatbot is built out from the original default question, this isn't usually used. Just know if you do check the box, it will be the first question a user sees.
Question
This is the question that is actually asked of the user. It's what you want the user to respond to.
Buttons
Adding buttons lets the user respond easily and without typing. See Buttons for more information. Do note however that buttons added to question CANNOT link to URLs.
Clone Intents and Actions
This option lets you chose to clone intents and what those intents do from another question. If this is your first new question you won't need this option. You may never need it when setting up a bot, but it's useful if you have similar questions that only need a few things changed.
Save or Delete Question
Make sure to save your question so you don't lose any of your hard work.
