Action Items¶
Introduction¶
Action elements of a Business Bot are the activities that a Business Bot
have to fulfill. For example, to retrieve a text, create an image, or
retrieve information from the Internet. The action item list includes
various action items linked to the plug-in function of the Business Bot.
For example, behind action element @[ActionItem.ShowArticle] is plugin
function getArticle(@Article.Name]. The plugin function expects a parameter (for searching an article) which
corresponds to the name of the entity attribute, so in this example @[Article.Name] is the entity attribute.
