Overview

On-Demand Publishing lets you customize message delivery timing and improve chatbot interactions. Example: You can publish API responses stored in variables, allowing precise control over when and how they’re published—whether all at once or sequentially—ensuring output meets specific business needs and avoids reliance on AI's default response order.

Key Benefits

• Increased Control: Take charge of when and how outputs are published, reducing reliance on generative AI and ensuring messages align with specific requirements and desired formats.
