Creating a new flow
Select a flow from the Flow Studio listing page or click Create a Flow button to add a new flow.
Â
Enter a Title and Description in the Add a New Flow dialog box and click ADD to open the flow studio. Auto Generate Slots is enabled by default.
While creating/editing a Flow studio flow, you can add utterances using the Add Utterances button.
These utterances are grouped in an autogenerated intent. The intent can be accessed using the Flow Group Intent.
You should add the Flow Group Intent node to the Flow Manager node in the Experience designer to use these utterances to invoke the corresponding flow.Â
Auto Generate slots will store the 'Choice Values' and 'Choice Texts' of "Choose many" and "Choose one" nodes of flow studio.
Note: Google Dialog flow limits the number of slots an intent can contain. Therefore, if you use Google Dialog flow for publishing your interaction model, you should restrict yourself to creating only 20 Flow Studio flows with Auto Generate Slots enabled, because each flow will have a dynamically created unique slot name that will be used in the OrbitaFlowStudio intent. If you intend to create and use more than 20 flows, you should disable the Auto Generate Slots and create custom slots for the Choices used in the flow.Every flow has an ID on the top of the screen and the control pane to the right side of the page.
Note: Zoom options are placed in the bottom right corner.Drag and drop the controls from the control panel to the canvas to start creating a flow.
To save the flow, click Save.
