How to write dialogues in chatbot

We click on this dialogue option and reached on to this dialogue page. Dialogue is the key area in chatbot where communication takes place. There are so many things that you can do via dialogues.

So in a broader sense, a dialogue is a place where text, images, questions, and other things get placed to draft a communication. An important thing to note here is, multiple conversations have multiple dialogues.

This is the default dialogue. If an end-user type in something that the chatbot does not understand, this default message comes up on the user screen.

This is the welcome dialogue. This is the first dialogue that users will see when they message you. You can draft the welcome message the way you want to greet your audience.

A professional approach while working in the dialogues section is that you must create the folders first. And place the dialogues inside the folder to keep everything in order and well managed.

Let’s have a practical example to understand it more clearly.

It’s a chatbot of infertility treatment clinics. These are different folders and there are different dialogues inside the folders.

If we click on the fertility treatment, treatment-related dialogues will come up on the screen.

If we click on the consultancy session, the consultancy session related dialogue would come up on the screen.

If you want to create a dialogue, just click any of the folders and then click add dialogue. Or you can go to the default folder and create a dialogue. We are going to create a dialogue inside the default folder.

The very first thing is to give a name to your dialogue so that you can identify it later on for further use in your chatbot. We are going to name it Demo and create a dialogue.

Now you get a blank page here with different chatbot widgets. These widgets would help you to create a dialogue.
