Entities

Capture and validate user input.

Entities define how the bot extracts values from text. Use them in intent parameters and entity nodes on the canvas.

Entity types

  • System — @number, @email, @phone, @url, @boolean, @date, @currency, @duration, @string, @list.
  • Custom list — enumerated values with optional synonyms.
  • Custom regex — pattern-based extraction.

List entries

For list entities, add canonical values and synonyms so "checking account" and "checking" map to the same slot value.

Entity nodes

On the sub-flow canvas, an Entity node prompts the user, validates against the entity type, stores the result in a variable, and continues to the next connected node.
