Before we begin

We need to understand what are Dialogue trees.

Overview

A decision box node in Sprinklr's chatbot system is like a crossroad in a conversation, where the bot makes decisions based on certain conditions. It enables the bot to understand and respond differently depending on user inputs or predetermined factors.In this guide, we will go over how to define Decision Boxes within a Dialogue Tree.

Note: In the Conversational AI, the terms "Decision Box" and "Condition Box" are used interchangeably.

Steps to configure a Decision Box

To create a decision box, select Decision Box from the dropdown.
To add a path, follow these steps:
- Give the path a name
- Add multiple conditions to the path if needed.
- Click "Save"

Note:

Please note that a decision box always includes a default path. This means that if none of the configured conditions are met, the bot will take the default path.

Note: Double quotes don't work with containing operator in the decision box.

Please place your cursor over the Decision Box and then click on the Options icon.
Choose either "Move Element With Subtree" or "Copy Element With Subtree".
Select the target Destination Node where you wish to Move or Attach the copied nodes.
