The Quick Actions feature enables customers to move around quickly while interacting with your bot. You can allow your customers to go to the previous or a different dialog or conversation at any point in time with just a click of a button or shortcuts that you set up.


Note: Predefined buttons and the widget menu will only be available when you’re using the conversations widget or self-service widget. They are not supported if you deploy the bot on messaging channels.


Setting up Quick Actions

  1. Click on Flows > Configure > Quick actions from the menu. 
  2. You can see the default list of quick actions available:
    • Go back: Allow customers to go back to the previous menu.
    • Start again: Allow customers to start from the beginning of the bot flow.
    • Looking for something else: Allow customers to search for another query with the help of intent detention.
      Note: This option will be visible by default only if you enable Natural Language Settings.
    • Resend OTP: Allow customers to resend OTP if you have set up OTP Authentication in your flows.
      Note: This option will be visible by default only if you have configured OTP authentication.

  3. To create a new action, click New quick action.
  4. Enter the Label name.
  5. Select the dialog the quick action should lead to.
  6. Choose the required type of quick action:
    • Predefined buttons: Choose this option if the defined quick action is to be a button in the flow. This button can show up for all dialogs when your customers interact with the bot by default by selecting the checkbox.
    • Widget menu: Choose this option if the defined quick action is to show up as part of the widget menu.
    • Slash command: Choose this option if the defined quick action should be triggered by a / command in the input box. 
  7. Click the Save.
