IBM Watson Assistant Detection Action
This action will parse any user text through IBM Watson Assistant AI engine. The conversation will not hold as a direct input. This action will trigger whenever the user text matches the configured intent.
Settings
The action uses the following settings:
Setting | Description | |
API Version | Choose the IBM Watson API Version to use | |
Username | The IBM Watson integration username | |
Password | The IBM Watson integration password | |
Workspace Id or Workspace Url | Set here the full workspace id or the full workspace url of your IBM Watson assistant API integration | |
Intent | The full name of the intent you want to be parsed. Use asterisk (*) to accept any intent | |
Detection Confidence | The minimum confidence required to trigger this action | |
Display intent reply in chat | If enabled, Xenioo will display a message bubble with the text you've specified as possible intent reply on IBM Watson. |
Remarks
When used inside an interaction or behavior, this action is not blocking. The conversation is not halted and the user can continue freely. If you want to stop the user until the question requirements have been met, you can use the IBM Watson Assistant Input.
This action is optimized to use IBM Watson API only once per user input. Even using multiple IBM Watson Detection actions will result in a single API call. Every IBM Watson AP call will count as an additional chatbot message.
Any integration issue that Xenioo encounters during IBM Watson API calls can be found inside each conversation Execution Diagram or inside the chatbot preview Execution Diagram.
If required, instead of the standard Workspace Id, the Legacy v1 Workspace URL can be found the API Details page you can see in the following picture:
