Mapping a Zobot to an auto-created skill in Zia Skills

A skill is a collection of actions that you would define to your bot to perform for your website visitors. Once you have configured your Zobot inside Zoho SalesIQ and clicked the Access Zia Skills Console button on the top right corner, skills will automatically be created for your bot. Learn more.

What are Actions?

Actions can be defined as a single ability or tasks that have multiple conversations that Zia performs when you give instruction during a conversation.

For example, if your visitor requests to get the website deals of the day and Zia responds dynamically based on the visitor plan, such tasks are defined as an action. Learn more about Actions in Zia Skills
