| Confidence             | The minimum confidence required to trigger this action                                                                                                             | :no\_entry:                                                              |

### Remarks

Intents that have [an active automatic redirection or reply](https://docs.xenioo.com/ai/nlp/intents#activation) will not be listed in the Intents list in this action. These intents have their own automatic trigger and cannot be used inside the chatbot builder.

If multiple intents are selected, only the best one will be checked against the given confidence.

### Trigger

NLP Detected. This action will trigger any child operation as soon as the user input is matching the selected intent with at least the specified confidence.

### Variables

This action produces the following variables after being triggered:

| Variable               | Description                                                                           |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| last\_detected\_intent | The full name of the detected intent.                                                 |
| detected\_locale       | The [locale ](https://docs.xenioo.com/ai/nlp/intents#language)of the detected intent. |
| last\_entity           | The full list of all entities values separated by a semicolon                         |

Every [entity](https://docs.xenioo.com/ai/nlp/entities) specified in the detected [expression ](https://docs.xenioo.com/ai/nlp/expressions)will be translated to a runtime variable named after the entity name.
