Define routing conditions for Pega Email Bot to carry out automatic actions when
email content meets these conditions. For example, you can configure the system to create a
top-level case or route to a work queue based on detected information using natural language
processing (NLP). For the routing condition, you can use a detected entity, topic,
sentiment, or language based on text analysis, so that your email bot trigger an appropriate
action for intelligent routing.
Before you begin: Select a routing processing mode so that the system either triggers only the first
action from the top of the list that matches conditions, or every
create
case and
automatic reply action in the list that
matches conditions. For more information, see
Selecting the routing processing mode.
If a routing condition holds true, the system triggers an action or several
actions, depending on the routing processing mode that you select. If the email content
does not meet any of the routing conditions, you can also specify how the email bot
responds.
-
In the Current channel interfaces section, click the icon
that represents your existing Email channel.
-
In the Email channel, click the Behavior tab.
-
In the Intelligent routing section, click Add
condition.
-
In the Action list, select an action that you want to
run automatically in email routing.
For example: Route to work queue
-
In the Value field, enter an email template, case name,
operator, or work queue.
For example: For the Route to work queue action, enter a name of
a work queue: Sales requests.
-
Define the validation conditions for a field on the form:
-
In the list of fields, select NLP and the name
of the text analysis field that you want to validate.
For example:
- To detect email text, select , and an entity name.
- To detect the email topic, the intent, select .
- To detect the positive, negative, or neutral sentiment of the
email, select .
- To detect the language of the email, select .
-
In the comparator list, select the test that you want to perform on the
field.
For example: Is equal
-
In the value field, enter or select a value to compare against the user
input.
For example: To route an email to a work queue when the email bot detects the language
of the email, select from the list, set the Is equal
comparator, and then select French from the value field.
When the email bot receives an email that is in the French language, the email
is automatically routed to the Sales requests work
queue.
- Optional:
To add more automatic responses based on NLP text analysis, repeat step 3 through 6 for other routing conditions.
You can also add an automatic response based on an email header content or a
when rule.
- Optional:
To specify how your email bot responds when you do not define any criteria or
when the email content does not meet any of the criteria, define the default
action:
-
In the Otherwise area, in the
Action list, click an action to perform.
-
In the Value field, enter an email template,
case name, operator name, or work queue.
-
Click Save.
What to do next: Verify that the email routing conditions work as expected. For more information,
