Agent alerts are notifications to agents when critical parts of an interactive decision tree have changed.
Overview
An agent alert appears like this:
Some key points about Agent Alerts:
- The agent cannot continue to use the tree until they dismiss the alert.
- Once the alert is shown to an agent, he/she will see it just once.
- Alerts can appear on subtrees (trees launched via tree nodes), or the starting tree.
- You can add and manage alerts from My Team, My Agents, Agent Tools, Agent Alerts.
- Alerts are tied to specific trees. Currently, there are no universal alerts.
- The Publish function has an easy way to optionally add an alert.
- If you have multiple alerts set, they will be combined into a single alert message, rather than showing one by one.
