FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure conversational AI agents invoke a workflow skill before replying?

To ensure conversational AI agents invoke a workflow skill before replying, use a mandatory skill invocation check at the start of an interaction. This evaluates applicable skills and loads instructions before generating any response.

What happens if no relevant skill applies during workflow automation?

How do clarifying questions work with mandatory skill invocation?

Clarifying questions work with mandatory skill invocation by requiring the agent to announce the chosen skill and its purpose first. The agent then follows a structured decision flow to confirm the skill's applicability before answering.
