Using Generative Replies with Intents in Zendesk

Learn how Zendesk bots use generative replies with intents to provide automated responses.

How do generative replies work with intents in Zendesk bots?

Generative replies in Zendesk bots work with intents by generating responses for questions that match intents without assigned answers, as well as for questions without a matching intent.

To manage these settings, go to the Admin Center, click Channels, then select Bots and automations > Bots. Under the Intents tab, you can choose to generate or not generate a reply for each intent. Remember to publish the bot to make these changes effective.
