Universal Containers implements three custom actions to get three distinct types of sales summaries for...

The root cause of users receiving incorrect sales summaries lies in non-unique action instructions (Option B). In Einstein Bots, custom actions are triggered based on how well user utterances align with the action instructions defined for each action. If the instructions for the three custom actions overlap or lack specificity, the bot’s natural language processing (NLP) cannot reliably distinguish between them, leading to mismatched responses.

Steps to Investigate:

Review Action Instructions: Ensure each custom action has distinct, context-specific instructions. For example:

Action 1: "Summarize quarterly sales by region."

Action 2: "Generate a product-wise sales breakdown for the current fiscal year."

Action 3: "Provide a comparison of sales performance between online and in-store channels."Ambiguous or overlapping instructions (e.g., "Get sales summary") cause confusion.

Test Utterance Matching: Use Einstein Bot’s training tools to validate if user utterances map to the correct action. Overlap indicates instruction ambiguity.

Refine Instructions: Incorporate keywords or phrases unique to each sales summary type to improve intent detection.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. Assigning actions to an agent is irrelevant, as custom actions are automated bot components.

C. Input/output types relate to data formatting, not intent routing. While important for execution, they don’t resolve utterance mismatches.
