How to change the copy of a chatbot message
Simple copy changes can be done in seconds. In order to change the copy of a chatbot message, just click on the corresponding conversational node. This will open the node control panel, where the text of the message can be modified, and where messages can even be added or removed.
What are variables
Variables are data values that can change from user to user, for example, their name, or even when the user is asked a question, for example, their age. In other words, a variable is a container for a particular piece of information.
To make an example, let’s consider the variable Name
. Within an insurance process we would need to capture some data from the user in order to process his request. Considering a Claims FNOL process, we would need to know the name of the policyholder. Therefore, we are going to set a variable Name
to collect the particular input from every policyholder and associate with that variable every other policyholder’s name.
Other example of variables that might be needed for a FNOL include:
- Policy ID
- Phone Number
- Email Address
- Policy Address
- Loss Address
- Date of Loss
- Time of Loss
- Type of Claim
- Description of Claim
All the values associated with variables will be collected in a table as follows.
Name | Policy ID | Policy ID |
---|---|---|
John | BC12987 | 07456542133 |
Paul | AD65666 | 07898863482 |
Mark | ND84677 | 07348375655 |
⚠️ Important note
The insurance company is the data collector and personal data owner. Spixii is data processor only. All the information collected through Spixii chatbots is unidentifiable to an individual or entity.
In the Spixii CPA platform, variables are associated with nodes. If for example, we have a node with a message What’s your name?
, we can set a variable Name
for that node, so that every answer from users (the value) might be associated with that variable.
How to create variables
To create a variable, click on the node label to open the node control panel, and select the item Assign Variable
from the menu. Next, create the variable Name
. The variable will be displayed both in the node label and in the node control panel, from where it can also be deleted.
The same variable can be reused for other nodes or referenced in a chatbot message. For example, I might want to use the variable Name
in the next message to get a more personal message: Nice to meet you {{Name}}.
⚠️ Important note
Variables are case sensitive, which means that if a variable is saved as Name
, it would need to be always used at such, for example not name
.
