Adding a knowledge base segment


The knowledge base segment feature enables clients to focus on their users and make sure they get the right information. Bot builders can use their knowledge base categories or tags as filters in a bot flow, restricting the knowledge base content shown to the user at a specific conversation step. This restriction is achieved by using variable parameters and the knowledge base category or tags in the bot. When the variable parameter matches, the user's query is filtered based on the specified category or tag, ensuring they receive content that is targeted and contextually relevant.

For instance, let's say company A wants to provide content based on the user's upcoming visit location. The knowledge base articles are tagged with a location that can act as a filter. This location data will be included in the query, allowing for the proper targeting of the right content.
