Welcome Events are pre-configured messages or prompts that are automatically triggered when a conversation is assigned to an agent in the Agent AI widget. Welcome Events guide agents to handle inquiries effectively by streamlining workflows, lowering their Average Handle Times (AHT), reducing repetition, and contributing to enhanced customer satisfaction.

Managers can configure Welcome Events to provide consistent and relevant information to agents at the start of a conversation. These events can be used for chat, voice, and email interactions.

On this page, you can configure the welcome experience when the Agent AI widget is launched by defining the Welcome Events activities for agents. It has three sections:

• Configure On-Connect Dialog Task
• Configure Greeting Messages
• Priority Settings

Configure On-Connect Dialog Task

In this section, you can select a pre-configured dialog task and channel and choose to extract intents from the selected dialog task when the Agent AI widget is launched.

Steps to Configure the On-Connect Dialog Task

1. Sign in to Agent AI.
2. Click CONFIGURATION > Welcome Event.

   Note: When you select this radio button, the system terminates the current dialog and uses the message node’s content to identify the Next Best Actions (Suggestions) upon encountering it. Ensure the dialog flow contains only one message node, preferably at the end.
8. Click Save.
