Manage Multiple Intents in Zendesk Bot

Understand how your Zendesk bot handles questions that match multiple intents and how to configure it.

How does the Zendesk bot handle questions that match multiple intents?

When a question matches multiple intents, the Zendesk bot can suggest up to three possible intents for the user to choose from. This feature is available if your account has a matched intent model. You can configure this in the Behavior tab under the If a question matches more than one intent section. If you prefer, you can turn off this option, and the bot will automatically use the intent with the highest confidence score.
