Key Learning Points

  • Multi-branch decision flow design
  • Reservation node and information collection
  • Seat availability check and fallback options
  • Handling user acceptance/rejection of alternatives
  • Node connections and flow completeness

​
Steps

  1. Add a Reservation Node

    • Add a “Reservation” node to the conversation flow to collect user info: number of people, time, special requests, etc.

  2. Branch Handling

    • Check seat availability:
      • If available: go to “Register Reservation Info” node and complete the booking.
      • If not available: go to “Offer Alternative” node.

  3. Alternative Branches

    • If user accepts the alternative: go to “Register Reservation Info” node.
    • If user rejects the alternative: go to “End” node and thank the user.

  4. Node Connections & Save

    • Ensure all nodes are connected so the flow can be saved successfully.

  5. Test the Flow

    • Test the reservation process, verify info collection, branching, and final booking result.
