Greeting the Chatbot

  • The OIAP can be deployed independently or used on the public cloud. Therefore, the navigation paths vary depending on the environment.
  • In this document, all the navigation paths are those selected when the OIAP is deployed independently. In the CEC public cloud scenario, you can choose Configuration Center > Flow Configuration > Intelligent IVR to access the OIAP.
  • To use the chatbot (intelligent IVR) on the public cloud, ensure that you have subscribed to intelligent IVR, TTS, and ASR resources for the tenant space.

    To check whether the resources have been subscribed to, perform the following steps:

    Log in to the Huawei Cloud console and choose Service List > Business Applications > Cognitive Engagement Center. On the CEC console, choose Instance Management. On the page that is displayed, click Details corresponding to the desired call center instance to check whether intelligent IVR resources have been subscribed to on the IVR tab page and whether TTS and ASR resources have been subscribed to on the TTS&ASR tab page.

You can configure your dedicated chatbot online using a flowchart. To help you understand the entire configuration process, this section describes the configuration of a chatbot who replies with "Hello" to your greeting.
