Sequence Types
Global sequences
A global sequence is a series of bot skills that is saved as a template to be reused in different chatbots across your site.
Consider using global sequences for:
- Live Chat routing and fallback
- Book a demo calendar routing
- Agent alert routing
- Content recommendations
Pro tip: Any sequence that involves live agents is a good candidate for a global sequence. Managing routing within global sequences will simplify the updating process when there is turnover on the teams.
Local sequences
A local sequence is only saved within the chatbot where it was created. Think of these as folders that hold skills within the bot, but not templates. They can be cloned and deleted within the chatbot, but not reused in other chatbots.
Consider using local sequences for:
- Minor adjustments to a global template
- Skill organization in large or complex chatbots
