Make bot start the conversation

Submitted on ‎11-14-2019 07:15 PM Submitted by on ‎11-14-2019 07:15 PM
It appears that the bot always waits for the first move e.g. Hi. It would be useful if there was a tick box "Start conversation automatically" where the bot starts e.g. Hi, I'm you bot... ... View more

Finnish language for PVA

Submitted on ‎01-07-2021 04:25 AM Submitted by on ‎01-07-2021 04:25 AM
PVA should learn Finnish much like it knows many other languages. The users in many first line worker scenarios would be more likely to use a bot that speaks their language. It's quite clunky to make an English speaking bot to ask questions in Finnish, quite often there are things the bot needs to collect in Finnish.   ... View more

“Hi @Janne-Hirva, thank you for your idea! We appreciate your patience. Finnish has just been added as a preview language in Power Virtual Agents.

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 ...

Power Virtual Agent - Suggest Topics via Tables (Excel or SharePoint)

Submitted on ‎02-27-2020 09:17 AM Submitted by Advocate II on ‎02-27-2020 09:17 AM
Functionality to load SharePoint lists, csv/xlsx tables holding Q&A data as suggested topics.   There are three issues with the current functionality 1) when loading Q&A websites into suggested topic there is a lot of 'junk' data that gets pulled in. 2) its hard to find the right websites which hold the information needed. 3) Sometimes no websites exist that hold the right Q&A information needed for topics.   It will be of great benefit if we are able to compile a table with all topics whether as an SP list or excel table and load that in ...

Hi @-Dennis ,

 

Happy to say that is available since October 2020! 🙂 

 

There is a limitation from files that is not possible to import from SharePoint or OneDrive folders because these tools have many security parameters.

So, I recommend you use a public website to store this CSV file.

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

Hello All,   I'd like to jump into the discussion by propping up @Anonymous  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
