Example: Pushed on #Tagging

Type: Instruction

Title: Approach to #open

This is what the card could look like to reflect a Conversational Approach:

  • Where would they like to come by for a visit?

  • >locations for opening times

  • Interested in a specific car? Ask smart questions to clarify the context. Do not overdo this; visitor = seriously interested

  • Not interested in a specific car yet? Ask smart questions to determine demands.

  • Steer chat towards  showroom visit

  • Lead? Ask for name, address, telephone number, email + mandatory fields

FAQs

Can push articles be used for suggesting replies / messages?

The article push (aka Proactive Aiding system) feature is an implementation of the following design goals:

  • keep the backchannel clean by enabling more granular surfacing of articles;

  • recommended: one event, trigger one article;

  • trigger on chat join, category select, form added, tag added, result send (not on fields)

It is optimized for step-by-step instructions, for the steps leading up to filling the form, one instruction at a time:

  1. join chat → surface article "Informal style for this customer"

  2. select category "Selling" -> surface article "Attention points when selling a house"

  3. select form "Put in a bid" -> surface article "Instructions for the bidding form"

  4. (…slot-filling chatbot kicks in to further guide agents field-by-field)

The article push feature was never designed to spoon-feed literal answers to agents after selecting a form; that function is better served by a slot-filling chatbot (agent-assist or direct-to-consumer).
