Global Variables

Submitted on ‎11-07-2019 12:34 PM Submitted by PVA on ‎11-07-2019 12:34 PM
It would be excellent to have the possibility of creating global variables which can be accessed from any topic. For example, if I ask the customer for the email, know in all the topics which is the client's email without having to ask again from: https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/user-profile/?user=b5677954-9087-e911-a960-000d3a4f36ce ...

Edit Trigger Phrases

Submitted on ‎11-07-2019 01:31 PM Submitted by PVA on ‎11-07-2019 01:31 PM
  We can't use this tool as it, because of the inability to add colloquial greetings. It just responds "Sorry, I am not able to find a related topic. Can you rephrase and try again?" ... It also doesn't reply with something like "Sorry, I am not able to find a related topic, do you need assistance?" ... that could at least get the flow going when someone responds affirmatively. from: https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/user-profile/?user=731097ed-efe3-e911-a812-000d3a4f1ebb ...

Bot language and localization

Submitted on ‎11-21-2019 02:34 AM Submitted by on ‎11-21-2019 02:34 AM
Hi,  great platform and it awesome that you continually evolve it. I believe that it would be great if you could allow the localization of the bot in the system topics, as this could be a bottleneck for going forward with production usage. We should be able to localize the bot in order to put it in good use.   Thanks and keep it up! Vassilis ... View more

Multiple Bot Authors

Hello All,   I'd like to jump into the discussion by propping up @jonathansouthee  and his post about co-authoring a bot for visibility. This is a major blocker for us in our organization. The ability to distribute author rights will make or break our decision to go forward with bot development. Is this being addressed at all by the devs? ... View more
