Power Virtual Agents: Which is the functional difference between Gobal Variables and Custom Entities?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 363

Hi,

while talking about Power Virtual Agents there are two key components which come to mind: Custom Entities and Global Variables.

When should I use custom entities rather than global variables (and vice versa)?

For example, let's suppose that I'm developing several power virtual agents to deal with many products, and I need to store the model information so that it can be reused across all chatbots: is it correct to use global variable here, or should I opt for custom entities? Why?

Can you explain to me the crucial difference between the two, and possibly provide some examples with relevant scenarios?

I have the same question (0)
