Using Chatbots in Pronnel Contact Boards

Step 1: Accessing Chatbot Configuration

  1. Open the Contact Board:

    Navigate to a board of type Contact from your workspace. Only Contact boards support chatbot configurations.

Step 2: Understanding Chatbot Types

  3. Internal Chatbot:

    The Internal Chatbot is designed specifically for use by internal users such as employees, agents, and support staff. It is trained only on internal documents and does not reference any external URLs or public sources. This makes it ideal for controlled and secure information access within an organization.

    Use Cases:

    • HR teams can set it up to answer employee queries related to company policies, leave structures, or benefits.
    • Support agents can quickly access troubleshooting guides or internal SOPs.
    • Sales or onboarding teams can reference internal playbooks, training content, or pitch templates without external exposure.
    • It can also assist employees in locating internal documents, process workflows, or compliance guidelines efficiently.

  4. AI Agent:

    AI Agents are task-oriented bots built to understand user inputs and execute specific actions such as fetching data, updating records, or triggering automations. Unlike simple chatbots, AI Agents are action-driven and can actively participate in workflows.

    Primary Use Case: AI Agents are commonly used in voice-based systems, especially during calls. For example, a customer calling your support line may interact with an AI Agent to check order status, reschedule deliveries, or get answers to common questions—without speaking to a human.

    Use Cases:

    • Customer Support: Handle queries through voice or text by pulling answers from a knowledge base or CRM.
    • Sales Enablement: Collect customer intent and qualify leads during voice conversations.
    • Appointment Scheduling: Enable customers to book, reschedule, or cancel appointments via an AI-powered voice bot.
