    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    There are two ways to integrate Google Dialogflow intents with Bot Interconnect
    • Create one Virtual Agent Bot Interconnect topic per Dialogflow intent.

      In case of NLU topics, each Virtual Agent topic has the same name as a single Dialogflow intent. For example, if you have two Dialogflow intents named order a drink and book a ticket, then you would create two Virtual Agent topics also named order a drink and book a ticket.

      In case of LLM topics, each Bot Interconnect topic has the same name and description as the corresponding Google Dialogflow topic.

    • Map multiple Dialogflow intents to a single Virtual Agent Bot Interconnect topic. This scenario is applicable only for NLU topics.

      Create a Virtual Agent topic for your Dialogflow intents and name it accordingly. For example, DG ordering issues. In this scenario, the Dialogflow intents are mapped to the topic as either keywords or utterances, depending on your method of topic discovery. So if you have two Dialogflow intents named order a drink and book a ticket, you would add both phrases to the topic as keywords or you would add them as utterances to the topic's corresponding intent.

    Procedimento

    1. Navigate to All > Conversational Interfaces > Virtual Agent > Designer.
    2. Create a topic for your Dialogflow intents.
      In case of NLU topics, include the Dialogflow intent names as either keywords or utterances in the corresponding ServiceNow Virtual Agent intent. In case of LLM topics, the topic name and description of the Bot Interconnect topic should match the topic name and description of the Google Dialogflow topic.
    3. On the Flow tab, drag a Topic Block utility node onto the canvas.
    4. Select the node, and then fill in the form as follows:
      Tabela 1. Topic Block Properties form
      Property Description
      Topic Block Select Bot Interconnect topic block for NLU topics and Bot Interconnect - LLM topic block for LLM topics.
      Action Name Enter: sn_va_bot_ic.dialogflow_bot_interconnect_integration
      Action Type Enter subflow.
    5. Click Save.
    6. Click Publish.

    O que Fazer Depois

    Test your configuration. You can execute the topics that are available in the secondary bot from channels where Bot Interconnect is deployed.
