Conversation Element "Set value of a variable"

 This conversation element lets you change the value of the variable .  You can only set the value of these variables: User variables that are defined within a conversation by using " Save user input ." System variable "_UserRegister1". Why modify the value of a variable? There can be various reasons for modifying the value of a variable. let's say you have declared a variable named "location" by creating the conversation element " Save user input ". However, you do not want to ask the end-user for location every time. You can achieve this by setting the value of the variable "_UserRegister1" to "LocationProvided". Now you can put validation criteria to check if the value of _"UserRegister1" is equal to "LocationProvided". If true, then don't ask for location.  How to configure this element? Log into repliedAI console  click here . Navigate to the "My bots" section.  If you have not creat

Variables

"Variable" is temporary storage for your data. They can be used for storing data fetched from the end-user. Moreover, you can also use variables to validate if the end-user is a first time user and much more. Why user Variables? Suppose you have a script in which you ask the end-user, their age. You may use their age to show products that are relevant to that age group. However, you cannot implement this flow unless you store the incoming data from the user (age), somewhere, so you can use it later. Variables come in handy at this time, you can create a variable and store the user age in that variable, later you can validate the value of that variable ( by using this element ).  Variable Types RepliedAI uses two types of variables System variables. User Variables. System Variables System variables are pre-defined variables. You can use the following "System Variables" _UserName  :  This variable stores the end-user name if they have configured any. If the end-user h

Conversation Element: Display clickers

 This conversation element sends clickable buttons back to the user aka clickers. Clickers or quick replies or suggestions are useful as they suggest the next possible directions to the user. Once the user clicks on any one of the clickers, the conversation will start flowing in the direction of the clicker. Why clickers? Clickers are useful when you want the conversation to span over a limited amount of topics. Without clickers, the end-user can reply with any text. Configuring your script to read any type of reply is a complex task. However, sending clickers back to the user makes it easier for them to decide what to reply with. What happens when the clicker is clicked? When you send a reply back to the user with clickers and the user clicks on any of them, the conversation starts flowing in that direction. Let's suppose you have configured a clicker with two options: apples and oranges When any of the options is clicked, the dialogue starts flowing in the direction of the clicke
