Parameters

fallback_trigger

Float (default 0.30): if confidence of top-ranking intent is below this threshold, fallback is triggered. Fallback is an action that utters the template utter_fallback and returns to the previous conversation state.

disambiguation_trigger

String (default '$0 < 2 * $1'): if this expression holds, disambiguation is triggered. (If it has already been triggered on the previous turn, fallback is triggered instead.) Here this expression resolves to "the score of the top-ranking intent is below twice the score of the second-ranking intent". Disambiguation is an action that lets the user to choose from the top-ranking intents using a button prompt.

In addition, an 'Other' option is shown with payload defined in deny_suggestions param is shown. It is up to the conversation designer to implement a story to handle the continuation of this interaction.

deny_suggestions

String: the intent associated in the payload for the 'Other' option.

n_suggestions

Int (default 3): the maximum number of suggestions to display (excluding the 'Other' option).

excluded_intents

List (regex string): any intent (exactly) matching one of these regular expressions will not be shown as a suggestion.

disambiguation_title

Dict (language string -> string): localized disambiguation message title.

intent_mappings

Dict (intent string -> language string -> string): localized representative button title for intents. If no title is defined for a given intent, the intent name is rendered instead. These titles support entity substitution: any entity name enclosed in curly brackets ({entity}) will be filled with entity information from the user utterance.

Important: The title for the 'Other' option is also defined here.

rasa_addons.core.policies.BotfrontMappingPolicy

This policy implements regular expression-based direct mapping from intent to action.

Example usage

policies:
...
  - name: rasa_addons.core.policies.BotfrontMappingPolicy
    triggers:
      - trigger: '^map\..+'
        action: 'action_botfront_mapping'
        extra_actions:
          - 'action_myaction'
...

ActionBotfrontMapping

The default action ActionBotfrontMapping takes the intent that triggered the mapping policy, e.g. map.my_intent and tries to generate the template utter_map.my_intent.
