Adding skills

Use the Skill Builder to add a new skill. The flow process takes you through the required steps to create a skill. At any point in the process, you can save your skill or cancel. A skill starts in a draft state.

Note: You must be an Advanced user or Coleman administrator to add skills.

The Skill Builder uses this flow process:

Step Page Information
1 Basic Skill Information Specify basic information to identify and describe your new skill.
2 Fulfillment Specify your fulfillment type. This determines how your skill runs and the fields that are required throughout the flow. These are the fulfillment types:
  • Basic Fulfillment: Uses basic user input and logical conditions to give basic responses. This is the least complex fulfillment type.
  • API Fulfillment (default): Uses an API call to send and receive information, run commands, etc. This is the most complex type.
3 Requirements Specify the input required by the user to perform the skill and how this information is obtained.
4 Utterances and Confirmation prompt Specify the utterances that users provide to prompt your skill. Additionally, specify if a confirmation from the user is required before the skill is run.
5 Response Specify the information received from an API and set the logic for the response provided to the user.
6 Summary Review the information that is specified for the skill.
