Context variables are powerful tools in Hexabot that allow you to store and manage information gathered during a conversation with a user. This information can then be used to personalize the chatbot's responses, make decisions within the conversation flow, or trigger specific actions.
|
|
|
|
Think of context variables as temporary storage containers that hold data specific to a particular conversation. For example, you could store the user's name, their preferred language, or their order details.
|
|
|
|
**1. Access Context Variables page:**
|
|
|
|
* Navigate to the "Context Vars" or "Context Variables" section. This is typically found in the main menu.
|
|
|
|
**2. Creating a New Context Variable:**
|
|
|
|
* **Click "Add Context Variable" or a similar button:** This will open a form where you can define a new context variable.
|
|
* **Provide Variable label:** Choose a descriptive label for your variable, reflecting the type of information it will store. For example:
|
|
* user\_name
|
|
* preferred\_language
|
|
* order\_id
|
|
* location
|
|
* **Save Changes:** Click the "Submit" button to create your new context variable.
|
|
|
|
**3. Managing Existing Context Variables:**
|
|
|
|
* **View Existing Variables:** In the "Context Vars" section, you can view a list of the context variables you've created.
|
|
* **Edit Variable label:** You can edit a variable's label. However, you cannot change it name once it's created.
|
|
* **Delete a Variable:** If a context variable is no longer needed, you can delete it from the list. Be careful because deleting a variable will remove all data stored within it.

**Additional Notes**
|
|
|
|
Context variables are temporary and are specific to a single conversation. They are not shared between different conversations.
