How to Configure AI Agent Events

Events are triggers that prompt the AI Agent to perform predefined actions when specific situations occur. For example, when a new chat begins or when the AI Agent cannot answer a customer’s question, it can automatically send a predefined response or initiate a particular workflow.

Comm100 allows you to customize the AI Agent’s actions for each supported event. You can configure these actions in the same way you configure Topics.

  • Event when a visitor starts a chat: Define the AI Agent’s action at the beginning of a chat. Comm100 provides a default action for this event.
  • Event after AI Agent completes an answer: Define the AI Agent’s action after it finishes delivering an answer, whether the answer comes from a Topic (workflow or natural language type) or from Knowledge resources.
  • Event when AI Agent cannot answer visitor question: Define what the AI Agent should do when it fails to match a Topic or generate an answer using Knowledge resources. A default action is provided for this event.
  • Event when a visitor rates an answer as not helpful: Define how the AI Agent should respond when a visitor indicates that its answer was not helpful.
