Bot Registry
Contents
Use the Bot Registry to add and define the bot resources you want to use in your applications.
Designer supports several bot services providers, such as Google Dialogflow, Amazon Lex, and Genesys DialogFlow. If you have a bot resource set up with one of the supported providers, you can add it to the registry and use it in your applications.
See Bot Block to learn more about how to use bot resources in your applications.
Adding a new bot resource
Watch: Add a bot resource to Designer
Click Add Bot Definition. Enter a Name for the bot resource and select the Type from the list of supported bot services providers.
For most of the bot services providers, you can click Submit and then enter the details manually. For example, here is an example of the properties for a LEX type bot:
However, for Dialogflow bots, you can import a JSON file that contains all of the required settings for your bot resource. You can export this file from your Dialogflow account page — if you need help doing this, see the documentation for your bot service.
After the settings for the Dialogflow bot are added, you can select an optional setting called Wait Conversation End. When enabled, the Bot Block recognizes intents that are marked as end-of-conversation intents in the bot.
Here's an example of a Dialogflow bot with the settings imported and the Wait Conversation End option selected:
After you've entered the settings for your bot, you can click Test Connection to check if Designer can communicate with it. When you are finished setting up the properties, click Save to add it to the registry.
After a bot resource is added to the registry, you can start using it in your applications by selecting the resource in a Bot Block.
