Managing nodes

The building blocks of your virtual being's conversations are organized into logical categories, each serving a specific purpose in creating dynamic interactions.

Managing nodes

Adding nodes to canvas

In order to add nodes to the flow, right click on an empty space on the canvas. The dropdown menu with all node types will appear. Simply click on the type of node you want to add to your flow and its block will appear on the canvas.

Editing nodes

Each node has its own properties and settings – these you can modify by clicking on the node block that is already added to the canvas. The side drawer with settings panel for this particular node will appear on the right hand side of the canvas.

To close the side drawer with node settings simply click on the "Save" or "Cancel" button (remember that changes you made won't be saved if you click on the "Cancel" button). You can also close it by clicking anywhere on else on the canvas – this action has the same eefect as cancel, which means that no changes will be saved.

Removing nodes

To remove a node focus on it by clicking it – the additional menu button (three dots) will appear above it. Click it to reveal options to manage the node: Edit, Duplicate or Delete.

You can also delete a node by focusing on it and the hitting "Delete" key on your keyboard.

Connecting nodes

Each node (except the Start node) has connection points on both sides: for entry connection and output connections. The number of output connections will depend on the node, for example the "Intent matcher" node will have as many output connection points as the intents added to its logic, plus one more for "Intent not found". All conditional logic nodes have to have and "out" in a form of a connection point that will be handled should neither of the conditions be met.

To connect two nodes together simply click and hold on the connection point and the drag the connection to the desired node.
