CommBox new Flow Builder (conversation script) presents a gateway to effortlessly crafting powerful chatbots. Our intuitive and user-friendly platform incorporates advanced AI technology and innovative user experience, enabling tech-savvy and non-technical users to create impactful bots.
In this beginner’s guide, we start with the basics, offering step-by-step instructions that make bot creation accessible to all without the need for coding. We describe the canvas, the different panes, and the functionalities as we build a real bot that can help your organization divert incoming traffic to different departments.
Bot builders, automation managers, and developers can use our Flow Builder to create an extensive automation system that can integrate API calls, add AI knowledge base items, identify intents, and, coming very soon, enable our Autonomous Agent to handle all interactions.
