Variable Switch Action

Use this action to execute operations based on the value of an existing variable. You can, for example, change the conversation flow redirecting the user to a different interaction.

Settings

The action uses the following settings:

Setting	Description	Parsed
Variable Name	The name of the variable that will be checked by the action	⛔
Criteria	The type of criteria that will be used against the control value	⛔
Control Value	The value that needs to be checked against the criteria	✅
Confidence	The confidence percent to be applied to string equality criterias	⛔

Remarks

The Control Value field supports multiple values checking in a single action. You can use a pipe (|) symbol to check multiple possible values. So to match this is awesome and this is great, you can enter this is awesome|this is great in Control Value.

Numeric criteria like Greater Than, Lesser Than or Between will always automatically attempt a conversion of the selected variable value to a number. If the variable is empty or the conversion to a number fails, the value will be assumed to be 0 (zero). So, as an example, if the variable test is empty, a conditional switch checking if value equal to 0 (zero) will return true.

Trigger

On Condition Met. This action will trigger any child operation as the condition set by criteria and value is met.

Variables

This action produces the following variables after being triggered:

Variable	Description
