Building a dialog flow
Dialog flows and sub-flows
Interactions between the caller and the automated system are handled by dialog flows. Depending on
the nature of the interaction, a dialog flow may consist of one single-level flow or of a main, top-level,
flow with one or more
sub-flows
. A sub-flow may have sub flows of its own.
Mandatory components
When you open a new Dialog Model, SAB automatically places a
Begin Dialog
step and an
End
Dialog
step in the Dialog Modeler window. The remainder of the dialog flow is drawn between these
two steps.
A top level dialog flow must end with a Hangup step connected to the End Dialog step.
