Profile
This tab contains settings related to the bot’s profile, which captures all vital details about the bot.
Profile settings of a bot
The following table describes about each field on the Profile tab:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Bot Name | Display name for the bot. When the bot is accessed, the name of the bot will be displayed in the bot chat window beside the bot logo. Also, this is the name by which the bot is identified in other sections on the platform such as in Analytics, Reports, etc. |
| Bot Unique Name | A unique name for the bot that appears in the Bot URL that is used to chat with the Bot. This name is auto-generated from the Bot Display Name but can be edited by the developer. The Bot Unique Name needs to be unique across an enterprise. |

Management
This tab captures information about bot sessions' functioning and closing.
Management settings
The following table describes about each field in this tab.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|

| Session close time (mins) | The session time-out (in minutes), after which the session will be closed automatically in the scenario of user inactivity. The default value is set at 240 minutes |
| Transactions Per Billing Unit | The number of transactions that can be performed for every billing unit. |
| Consent disclaimer message (Security section) | The disclaimer message for the consent. This field is available only if you enable the Advanced data protection option. This option has moved to the backend. When this is set to True, you can view this field. |
Handover
This section contains settings related to the bot’s handover, which decides when a user will be handed over to a human agent.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Allow agent handover | Transfer the user to an agent when the bot isn’t able to handle their queries or if they explicitly ask for it. When the agent handover toggle is disabled, developers can use the response of this article to specify that no human handover provision is available. In such cases, subsequent consumer messages will be addressed by the bot even after invoking ‘Talk to an agent’ article. Enabling the agent handover setting will hand over consumers to the configured customer care platform on invoking this article. If the bot corpus is exported as a CSV, the file will not contain this article. |
| Enable handover on fallback | A number of consecutive fallback messages in a session can trigger an agent handover. This number is configurable in the provided text box. |
| Enable handover on partial match | A number of consecutive partial matches in a session can trigger handover. This number is configurable. |
| Enable handover for consecutive messages | Consecutive repeated messages in a session can trigger agent handover. The number of repetitions needed for this trigger is configurable. |
Integrations
The Integrations tab provides the bot developer with the ability to quickly deploy
the same bot across several channels such as Skype, Line, Viber, Facebook Messenger,
Slack, Alexa, Google home and several others.
Route via Webex Connect app
Real-world solutions will require DB lookups, fulfilment, and communication with external systems, which is achieved through connect flows. Route via Webex Connect app toggle is used as a message routing option in both Q&A and Task bots to test connect flows end-to-end for the web channel.
When this is toggled off, the bot preview will query the bot. If this toggle is enabled, you can configure the app created in Webex connect on the Webex Bot builder by providing the app ID, app secret (client key), and service key in which bot flows are created. Once these details are provided and the bot is updated, any message sent to bot preview will be redirected to connect app and service that is configured. The response in the bot preview will depend on the connect flow that is configured . This allows you to test and share (via preview link available in the Bot builder) the overall connect flow.
