Activating and Configuring Bot Personas

Step-by-step guide to activating and configuring bot personas in Zendesk to enhance your AI-generated responses.

How do I activate and configure bot personas in Zendesk?

Activating and configuring bot personas in Zendesk is a straightforward process. You can turn on bot personas in the Admin Center under the Channels section by selecting Bots and automations, then Bots.

From there, manage the bot you want to work with, expand the Persona section in the Settings tab, and select 'Apply a bot persona'. Choose from Professional, Friendly, or Playful personas, and optionally allow emojis. Once configured, you can apply the persona to specific bot messages. Remember, applying a persona cancels any custom translations for that message.
