No correct response

What is the user asks a question, your bot doesn't give the correct response? This could be because no intents are recognized above the threshold:

• Open the Test your bot window and type the expression that returns the unexpected result

• Go to the NLP result tab

• Check to see if an intent was detected with a confidence above the threshold (the default threshold is 80%)

If an intent was detected with > 80% confidence

• Go to the blocks table view

• Filter on the intent that was detected

• If there is no result for that intent, it means that your intent doesn't have an answer linked to it, which will mean the bot defaults to not understood

  • Solution: configure an answer to the intent by adding a new bot message, and linking the intent to it

• If there is a block that has that intent linked to it, click it

  • Solution: configure the bot message linked to the intent and make sure it's aligned with how you want the bot to reply. Alternatively, if the intent should not be linked to that bot message, remove the link between block and intent and create a new block for that intent

If no intent was detected with > 80% confidence

• Check your NLP model. Does an intent already exist where this expression might belong to?

• If yes, add the expression to the model, click Update NLP and test your bot again

• If no, create a new intent, add the expression and a few others like it to the new intent and update your NLP model

Make sure you follow our NLP training best practices when creating new intents and expressions.

• Create a new block, link the intent to that block, and define an answer the bot should give as a reply to your new intent
