To ensure that Pega Email Bot and Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA)
for Web Chatbot responds to user input correctly by opening a top-level case, configure
a case command to use a case type. You then map entities from your Dialogflow text
analyzer to the properties of a case in the Pega Platform application
so that entity extraction takes place at run time.
Each case command
represents a triggered Dialogflow intent.
The intent's action in the Dialogflow agent configuration fulfills the request.
Define any built-in entities that you use in the intents on the
Entities tab for the Dialogflow agent configuration. This
setup populates the mapping drop-down list in an Email or Web Chatbot channel for a
Pega Platform application.
For example, if a user orders a pizza by entering a command in a web chat window, the
action triggers the orderpizza intent and the
corresponding OrderPizza case in IVA for Web Chatbot.
The text analyzer extracts and automatically maps entities from the chat session,
such as pizza type and size, to the case properties.
