Automations allow you to streamline workflows, connect your AI Assistant with AI-powered automations and much more. Available across all plans, with automation limits based on your subscription tier.

Understanding Automations

Currently automations consist of two main nodes (more coming soon!):

  • Triggers: Events that start the automation

  • Actions: Tasks that are performed when the trigger occurs (e.g., sending data via webhook)

Creating Your First Automation

  1. Navigate to the Automations tab in your dashboard

  2. Click "Add automation"

  3. Provide a name and description for your automation

  4. Select a trigger and configure your desired action

  5. Save and activate your automation by setting it "Live"

Available Components

Triggers

  • Conversation ended: Triggered when a conversation is completed

  • Contact created: Triggered when a new contact is added

  • Contact updated: Triggered when contact information is modified

  • Feedback Collected: Triggered when a user provides feedback on an AI response

  • New Message Received: Triggered when your AI Assistant receives a new message from the end user

Actions

  • Outgoing Webhook

    • Send data like "conversation transcript" to external systems

    • Include conversation transcript and metadata

    • Integrate with tools like Make, Zapier, or your custom endpoints

Connecting AI Assistant Events to an Automation

If you want to create an automation that is triggered by an AI Assistant event, e.g.: conversation ended, contact created or updated, etc., yyou'll need to connect specific events to your created automations. Here's how:

  1. Navigate to your AI Assistant

    • Go to Settings > Advanced Settings

    • Scroll to the "Automations" section

  2. Map Events to Automations

    • Find the event you want to automate (e.g., "Conversation ended", "Contact created")

    • Select the desired automation from the dropdown menu

    • You can map multiple events to different automations

  3. Configure and Test

    • Click "Save changes" to apply your mappings

    • Test the automation by triggering the event (e.g., end a conversation)

    • Monitor the automation's status to ensure it's working as expected

Available Events

  • Conversation ended

  • Contact created

  • Contact updated

  • Feedback collected

Common Use Cases

  • Alert your team in Slack when negative feedback is received

  • Update CRM records when contact information changes

  • Analyze conversation content in real-time as messages arrive

  • Track feedback patterns and user satisfaction metrics

  • Generate automated reports when conversations end

  • Create support tickets based on specific message triggers

  • Sync contact data with external databases

Managing Automations

  • Toggle automations on/off using the status switch

  • Filter and search automations from the main dashboard

  • Monitor automation status in real-time

  • Edit existing automations by clicking "Go to Designer"

  • Delete automations by clicking on the 3 dots within the automation list

Automation Limits by Plan

  • Free Plan: 1 Automation

  • Standard Plan: 1 Automation

  • Premium Plan: 5 Automations

  • Scale Plan: 10 Automations

  • Enterprise Plan: 20 Automations

Important Notes

  • Automations are designed to work seamlessly with AI Assistants

  • Webhook URLs must be secure (HTTPS)

  • Each automation can have multiple triggers
