Adding case commands for a conversational channel
For Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant™ (IVA) to create cases that are based on user input so that the system speeds up business processes and improves its artificial intelligence, add case commands to the system. Based on text analysis of a text message or a voice command, the IVA matches the best case command for a topic, and then automatically creates a corresponding case. The IVA can also perform automatic entity extraction from user input to case properties.
For example, when a user requests a car insurance price quote in the IVA, the system automatically creates a Car Insurance case.All case commands and response commands that you define are topics.
