Why configure Fallback with Entities? #
Fallback interaction is a default interaction that appears when the bot does not recognize the user’s input.
We can use this configuration to enhance your user’s experience, instead of the virtual assistant saying, “Sorry I don’t understand”, the virtual assistant can detect keywords and give the user a list of options and next steps that are related to the actions or offered services. This will greatly increase the chances of the virtual assistant being able to be helpful to the user, even if the intent is not detected.
This is where we use Entities to allow the virtual assistant to detect key phrases and keywords such as products or service names.
Below is the example to illustrate further, how Fallback configuration with entities can enhance the user experience and be more helpful compared to general Fallback reply.
