Flow nodes and elements

Overview

Teneo Studio allows to add a variety of Flow nodes and elements in a Flow to design the desired dialogue; this page provides an overview of the various elements which the user might encounter in the Flow window and offers links to more information when relevant.

Flow node / element	Comment	Learn more
User Intent trigger/transition	The User Intent contains the intents or examples of intents which should trigger the current Flow/transition, it is also here that Match(es) and After Matches are defined	User Intent
Prompt trigger	Prompts allow to add Groovy expressions which should be matched in order for the Flow to be triggered	Prompt trigger
Match Class	Allows to define a Machine Learning Class which must be matched in order to trigger the Flow or Transition.	Match requirements
Match TLML Syntax	Allows to define a syntax based on the Teneo Linguistic Modeling Language (TLML).	Match requirements
Match Entity	Match an Entity in order to trigger the Flow.	Match requirements
Match Language Object	Match a Language Object in order to trigger the Flow.	Match requirements
Match Script	Enter the Flow by writing a script which must evaluate to true to enter the Flow.	Match requirements
Match Scripted Context	Context Match requirement of type Scripted Context; select a Scripted Context and the wanted context state(s) which should be fulfilled for the Match requirement to match.	Match requirements
Match Flow Variable	Context Match requirement of type Flow Variable; select a Flow Variable and write an evaluation script which must evaluate to true for the Match requirement to match.	Match requirements
Match Global Variable	Context Match requirement of type Global Variable; select a Global Variable and write an evaluation script which must evaluate to true for the Match requirement to match.	Match requirements
Integration node	Allows to call an integration from within a Flow when the Integration has previously been configured in the Integration manager	Integration node
Flow Link	Allows to create links from one Flow to another (and back again in the case of Sub-flows)	Flow Link
Script	Allows to add programmatic functionalities (Groovy) to a Flow; the code piece has access to Global Variables and Flow Variables of the current Flow	Script node
Give Response	The "Give Response" label indicates that the Bot will give all pending Outputs as a response (up till that point in the Flow) and wait for a new user input	Transitions
Junction	Junctions allows to split the flow of the dialogue and facilitates the modelling of the Flow logic as multiple transitions can point to/from the same Junction node
After Match Entity	Allows to extract the value of an Entity variable. After Matches are defined in the Intent Trigger/transition	After Match actions
After Match Language Object	Allows to extract the value of a Language Object variable. After Match actions are defined in the Intent Trigger/transition	After Match actions
After Match Script	Allows to, for example, store matched words as a variable or execute a script. After Match actions are defined in the Intent Trigger/transition	After Match actions
After Match Listener	Allows to execute a script for each input which matches a syntax rule. After Match actions are defined in the Intent Trigger/transition	After Match actions
Output	Output nodes contain the answer(s) of the conversational AI application	Bot Output
Raise	The "raise" label indicates when a Flow raise event happens in the Flow dialogue
Drop	The "drop" label indicates when a Flow drop event happens in the Flow dialogue
TODO	The "TODO" labels are shown in the Flow editor and on Flow nodes when an implementation of the node is still pending	TODO label
Plus icon	Plus icons are displayed throughout the Flow editor indication where more nodes and elements can be added; when clicked, the available options are displayed in a menu for the user to choose from	Edit Flow

TIP: Expand TLML Syntax editors and Scripts editors by clicking the Expand icon available in the lower, right corner of the node
