Lifecycle hooks: Implementation

Easily set up your lifecycle hook's external webhook in NLX's Dialog Studio

What's the Implementation tab?

Implementation is where you'll set up a static response or external webhook/API URL for your lifecycle hook. When a conversation with a bot starts, ends, escalates, or streams state modifications and a lifecycle hook is attached at one of those stages, the webhook will trigger the specified URL and run the process required.

External implementation

External mode is used for integrating with a URL that triggers your lifecycle hook:

• Set implementation toggle to External

• Enter the URL

• Use NLX's AWS CloudFormation template provided within the Instructions section

• Click Save

Whether you have sensitive data or frequently enter the same URL string, try setting up a parameter in your workspace for enhanced security and efficiency.

Optional setup

• Headers: expand section > Click + Add header > Enter the Name and Value to be sent with the request. Useful for custom headers such as an API key, content type, content length, etc.

Now that your implementation setup is complete, attach your lifecycle hook to a bot under the bot's Lifecycle tab.

Static response

Static mode is useful for creating a static response when building demos or for early testing.

• Set implementation toggle to Static

• Enter your response in JSON structure

• Click Save

Now that your implementation setup is complete, attach your lifecycle hook to a bot under the bot's Lifecycle tab.
