How to: Test

Easily run a test on external webhook integrations or conversation flows in NLX's Dialog Studio

What are resources?

Resources are the individual components that work in harmony to create the AI conversations you'll construct in Dialog Studio:

• Bots

• Intents

• Slots

• Data requests

• Actions

• Lifecycle hooks

The pantheon of Dialog Studio resources often get their own place in your workspace menu.
