To make your automated bot support more effective, you need to contextualize the conversation. To do so, you need more info on the visitor and use the collected info in the bot's flow. In Codeless bot, we have pre-defined data blocks to get the visitor's name, address, phone number, and company name. But want if you want to get more information such as an address, age, or other information from the visitors? That's where the visitor fields and bot context come in.  

What is the visitor field card?

The Visitor field card allows you to collect more information from the visitors, such as age, address, user ID, password, etc. And have the collected data ready to be synced and used in integrations like CRM and  Help Desk.

What is bot context?

The bot context option allows the input collected by the bot to be stored in the bot's memory and used further in the bot's flow.

In this example, we collect the desired membership plan from the visitor. Once the visitor provides their option, we can show the plan details and cost and route them to specific operators using the Criteria router card.

Now let's have a quick recap of the Monthly focus:
