Add acronyms

You can boost bot understanding and search accuracy via Acronyms.

In the Acronym section, you can enter common phrases for specific terms. This helps the bot understand and fetch accurate results from the documentation, even when users use abbreviations. For example, users might use WA for WhatsApp. If you add this acronym the bot can understand it as WhatsApp whenever a user uses it.

To add acronyms, follow:

1. Go to Studio > KB > Acronym > + Add new acronyms.

   

2. In Acronym name enter the name of the specific term and in Acronyms enter the commonly used utterances for that term.

   

3. Click Add list item.

4. You can edit the entered acronyms by selecting and deleting them or by clicking on the three dots on the right side for further modifications.

To configure, follow these steps:

1. Upload your URL links to KB.
2. Navigate to the Build section and configure a language setup flow.
   • Add a quick reply node with the button name as the language and the button value as the ISO code for that language. View the ISO codes here.
   • Store the response of the Quick reply node in a variable (language).
   • Send the stored variable (language), which is the ISO code, to the Set language node.
   • Follow up with a question/text node to prompt users to ask questions in their preferred language.

You can also build this flow with a Document search node.
