Introduction

Creating an effective chatbot involves designing numerous flows that guide user interactions smoothly.

To manage these flows efficiently, the platform offers a folder system that helps keep your project organized. This summary explains how to create, manage, and utilize folders to maintain a clear overview of your chatbot's structure.

Managing Flows with Folders

Folders serve as containers for related flows, making it easier to locate and modify specific sections of your chatbot. Here's a step-by-step overview:

  • Creating a Folder

    • Click the "Create Folder" button.

    • Enter a name for the folder (e.g., Customer Service or Back End Tasks).

    • The folder appears in your main overview.

  • Adding Flows to a Folder

    • Select a flow (e.g., Ask a Question flow).

    • Click the three dots (menu) on the flow.

    • Choose "Move to Folder".

    • Select the desired folder.

    • Click "Move".

    • The flow is removed from the main overview and appears inside the selected folder.

  • Creating and Managing Specific Folders

    • For example, a folder named "Customer Service" can contain all customer-related flows.

    • A "Workflows" folder can store backend processes like sequences or automation flows.

    • To add a flow to the "Workflows" folder:

      • Select the flow.

      • Use "Move to Folder".

      • Pick "Workflows".

      • Confirm with "Move".

  • Benefits of Folder Organization

    • Clear overview of all flows.
