Architectural Smart Nodes: Designing Sophisticated Workflows with Ease

In the world of automation, the difference between a "basic bot" and a "smart assistant" lies in its architecture. Cornblue introduces a high-performance visual interface that allows you to design complex, human-like conversations using a diverse library of Smart Nodes.

Whether you are sending a simple greeting or a complex video product demo, our architectural nodes ensure your data flows exactly where it needs to go.

The Cornblue Node Library: Your Building Blocks

Our visual interface allows you to drag, drop, and link various components, each with its own specific logic:

• Wording: The core of your bot. Send text content with support for custom variables (like the customer's name) for a personalized touch.
• Media Nodes (Image, Audio, Video, Document, Sticker): Engage your audience with rich media. Upload files directly to show products, explain services, or send branded stickers.
• Reaction: Provide instant feedback with automated emoji reactions (👍, ❤️, etc.) to humanize the interaction.
• Branching: The "Menu" node. Create multiple paths based on user choices—perfect for list menus and service options.
• Question & Answer Wrong: The duo that ensures high-quality data. The Question node stops the flow to wait for an answer, while the Answer Wrong node handles invalid inputs gracefully.
• Escalation: The "Human Bridge." Instantly notify a human agent to take over when the bot has done its job.

Understanding the Flow Logic: Sequence & Triggers

Cornblue operates on a Seamless Sequence logic. The bot will automatically execute nodes one after another—for example:

Greeting (Wording) ➔ Brand Logo (Image) ➔ Intro Audio ➔ Product Video

When does the bot stop? The sequence pauses only when it encounters a "Stop Node":

1. Branching Node: Stops to wait for the user to pick an option from a menu.
2. Question Node: Stops to wait for a valid text input (e.g., an email or phone number).
3. Escalation Node: Stops the bot entirely to let a human agent reply chat.

Smart Escalation & Office Hours

Our Escalation Node is context-aware. If a customer asks for an agent:

• Inside Work Hours: The bot stops, and your agent is notified to take over.
• Outside Work Hours: The bot automatically informs the customer that agents are away, but keeps the bot active so the customer can still browse or reset the chat.

Behavior, Status, and Connectivity

Building a bot on Cornblue is more than just drawing lines; it’s about managing the "soul" of the interaction:

• Timeout Auto-Close: Define an idle limit (e.g., 5 minutes). If the customer goes silent, the bot politely closes the session to keep your inbox clean.
• Global Language Settings: Support over 100 languages. Choose a Default Language and let customers switch on the fly.
• Multi-Channel Reach: Connect your single bot design to currently Webchat and WhatsApp simultaneously.
  • Note: While one bot can handle many channels, one channel can only be managed by one active bot to prevent logic conflicts.

Pro Tips for New Architects

1. Instant Base: You don't start from a blank page. Every time you click the Orange Design Button, Cornblue generates a Base Flow (Greeting, Timeout, Language, and Closing) for you automatically.
2. Language Sync: If you enable multiple languages, remember to click each node and provide the translation. Your bot will handle the rest!
3. Active Status: Use the Status Toggle to take your bot offline instantly for maintenance without deleting your hard work.
