Bot Topics:

In Power Virtual Agents, Topics represent paths that a customer can be taken in while interacting with a bot. 

The Topic that is used and the path that is followed within an individual topic is in response to the data that is entered by customers in the conversion panel.

Power Virtual Agents Topics consist of two primary elements:

Trigger Phrases: Phrases, keywords, or questions that are entered by users and relate to a specific issue.

Conversation Nodes: Define how a bot should respond and what it should do.

Entities:

A system fallback topic will be added to  bot. this topic will be the one that the bot goes to when it can't find appropriate topic or does not understand the user's input.

After the system fallback topic has been enabled, user will see a new Go to Fallback Option on the screen.

The Fallback topic contains two nodes:

  1. Message : Acknowledge the unrecognized input and rephrases it.
