Use Queries in Search
When reviewing conversations in the Insights section or NLU Inbox, or while browsing skills in the Skill Store, you can use the search bar to narrow the results. You can perform basic searches using natural language or you can write queries in query language. This kind of query is built with three basic parts:
- Parameter
- Operator
- Value
To build a simple query, start with a parameter and your desired value and place the appropriate operator in between. You can build more complex queries by using an additional operator to combine two or more simple queries.
Akela wants to find all conversations that ended with a handover to an agent. She uses the parameter action, value handover, and operator =.
Her full query looks like this:
action = handover
Unfortunately, this query returned too many results for Akela to easily comb through. She decides that she wants to narrow this search to only see results from the past two weeks. She adds a second simple query to her original and combines them with the operator AND.
Her full query now looks like this:
action = handover AND datetime > -14 days
Supported Parameters and Values
The following table details all supported parameters, how to use them, and which sections of Bot Builder support each one.
Parameter | Details | Supported in |
---|---|---|
action |
The name that Bot Builder uses for an action. Supported values are:
|
|
bot_message_count | How many outbound messages are in the conversation. Values for this parameter must be in numeral format. | |
category | Allows you to filter the bot skills that are listed by the category they are tagged with. |
|
channel |
The name, type, or ID of a channel. You will only get results for channels you have configured in Digital Experience. Supported values are:
|
|
conversation | The ID of a conversation. | |
customer | The name or ID of a customer. | |
customer_contact | The contact ID (also called case ID) from CXoneDigital Experience. | |
customer_message_count | How many inbound messages are in the conversation. Values for this parameter must be in numeral format. | |
date |
Date that does not include a specific time. When this parameter is used, any value for time is automatically set to 00:00:00. Values for this parameter can be absolute or relative. |
|
datetime |
Date and time. Values for this parameter can be absolute or relative. Supported formats for absolute dates are:
Supported values for relative dates are:
|
|
fulltext | If you are building a query with query language, this parameter allows you to add natural language to it. | |
intent |
The name of an intent you've created. |
|
intent_confidence |
How confident Bot Builder is that the intent is classified correctly. Supported values range from 0 to 0.99, just like when designing fallback. |
|
is_reviewed | Review status of a conversation. Values for this parameter are true (has been reviewed) or false (has not been reviewed). | |
language | Allows you to filter the bot skills that are listed by the language they are set for. |
|
message_count | How many total messages are in the conversation. This number includes both inbound and outbound messages. Values for this parameter must be in numeral format. | |
tag | Displays conversations based on tags that are or are not applied. This parameter works with every available operator. |
Supported Operators
The following table displays all supported operators and describes what they stand for.
Operator | Description |
---|---|
= | Represents "equal to" |
!= | Represents "not equal to" |
< | Represents "less than" |
<= | Represents "less than or equal to" |
> | Represents "greater than" |
>= | Represents "greater than or equal to" |
AND |
Return conversations where values on both sides are matched. For example, the following query returns SMS conversations that were handed over to an agent: channel = sms AND action = handover |
OR |
Return conversations where at least one value from either side is matched. For example, the following query returns all SMS conversations and all WhatsApp conversations: channel = sms OR channel = whatsapp |
NOT |
Return conversations where the value is not matched. For example, the following query returns all conversations that were not in the SMS channel: NOT channel = sms |
IN |
Return conversations where the value is matched with at least one option from the list. For example, the following query returns all conversations in the SMS and WhatsApp channels: channel IN (sms, whatsapp) |
( ) |
Help you organize a complex query and assign priority based on the general math concept that items inside parentheses are processed first. For example, the following query returns both SMS conversations that were handed over to an agent and WhatsApp conversations with more than four messages: (action = handover AND channel = sms) OR (message_count < 4 AND channel = whatsapp) |
Additional Query Examples
All conversations from today:
datetime > midnight
All conversations from a specific day:
datetime >= 2nd Jan 2021 AND datetime < 3rd Jan 2021
All conversations on the SMS channels where handed over to a live agent occurred:
channel = sms AND action = handover
All conversations from SMS or Whatsapp channels:
channel = sms OR channel = whatsapp
All conversations on WhatsApp or SMS channels, from the last 30 days, and they are considered abandoned (less than 3 messages) or they were escalated to live agent:
channel IN (whatsapp, sms) AND datetime > -30 days AND (message_count < 3 OR action = handover)
