AI-powered chatflows let you design complex conversational logic quickly, without starting from a blank canvas.

This guide walks you through the full process: from generating a chatflow with AI to managing live and paused flows.

1. Creating a Chatflow with AI Prompting

When creating a new chatflow, you can start in two ways:

Option A: Use a templated AI prompt

  • Click on a templated prompt (e.g. Password Reset Automator).

  • Select Generate to instantly create a structured chatflow with:

    • AI Mission blocks

    • Conditional success / escalation paths

    • API calls or assignments where relevant

This is the fastest way to get a production-ready flow that follows best practices.

Option B: Write your own AI prompt

  • Type your own instructions directly into the prompt field.

  • Describe:

    • The customer problem

    • What information the AI should collect

    • When to resolve automatically vs escalate to support

The AI will generate a complete chatflow based on your instructions.

2. Editing the Generated Chatflow

Once the chatflow is generated, it behaves like any other flow, you have full control.

You can:

  • Edit AI Mission instructions to refine tone or logic

  • Add or remove steps (API calls, assignments, close conversation blocks)

  • Adjust success, failure, or escalation paths

  • Rename the chatflow to match your internal conventions

Each block is editable, so the AI output is a starting point, not a limitation.

3. Rename, Save or Publish a Chatflow

At the top of the chatflow editor, you’ll find three key actions:

  • Rename
    Change and rename the chatflow at any time

  • Save
    Keeps the chatflow as a draft. Useful while iterating or reviewing internally.

  • Publish
    Makes the chatflow live and available to users.

This allows you to safely test, iterate, or stop automation without losing configuration.

4. Best Practices for AI Prompted Chatflows

  • Be explicit in prompts about when to escalate

  • Clearly define what counts as a successful resolution

  • Keep AI Missions focused on a single objective

  • Review related conversations before re-publishing changes
