Managing Small Talk packages

What is a package?

A package is a collection of possible informal phrases that a visitor can send during a conversation and the corresponding responses that can be given by the bot. There is a default small talk package that is available - you can either duplicate it and use it as such or customize it based on your requirements. 

How to manage Small Talk packages?

You can either add a new small talk package directly or duplicate an existing package.

How can you add a new package?

• In the SalesIQ dashboard, navigate to Resources > Small Talk.
  
• Click on Add.
  

• Then, select a reference package. The package you select here will be duplicated, and you can customize the content based on your needs from there.
  

• Give your small talk package a name.
  

• Inside this section, you can click on Add to start adding phrases and the corresponding responses. There are five categories of Small Talk that you can add phrases and responses for - Greetings, Courtesy, Personal Enquiry, Support, and Signoff.
  

How can you duplicate an existing package?
