This workflow creates a customer support chatbot that classifies user inquiries and generates appropriate responses. It can escalate urgent issues to a human agent and notify the support team via Slack.

How this agent works


  1. ClassificationPrompt: This node classifies user messages into categories such as billing, product help, account management, or escalation. It uses a machine learning model to analyze the message and determine the appropriate category.
  2. SearchKnowledgeBase: Based on the classification, this node searches a knowledge base for relevant information related to the user's inquiry.
  3. GenerateResponse: This node generates a response using the information retrieved from the knowledge base and the user's message.
  4. SlackAlertAgent: If the inquiry is classified as an escalation, this node sends an alert to a Slack channel to notify the support team.
  5. EscalationResponse: This node provides a standard response to the user, informing them that their request has been escalated.
  6. Merge: This node merges the outputs from the GenerateResponse and EscalationResponse nodes.
  7. Output: This final node returns the chatbot's response to the user.

What You Can Use This For


  - Customer support teams can handle inquiries more efficiently.
  - Escalate urgent issues to human agents quickly.
  - Provide users with immediate responses based on a knowledge base.

Prerequisites

  3. Set up the Slack integration in the SlackAlertAgent node.
  4. Customize the response templates in the GenerateResponse and EscalationResponse nodes as needed.
