FAQ: common issues during training

Self-debug reference for the training track. If the scenario is correct but platform behavior is inconsistent — contact ConnectiveOne support.


Fast Line Pro

AI does not reply or {{ai_answer}} is empty

Cause What to do
save_response empty / not set In action_fastline_pro parameters set a variable name, e.g. save_response: ai_answer (then {{ai_answer}})
Knowledge base not indexed Fast Line Pro → wait until document processing finishes
Wrong agent_name Name must match the agent in Fast Line Pro
Agent not tested separately Fast Line Pro → “Testing” without the scenario

AI replies incorrectly / hallucinations

  • Check the FAQ document content (short txt for training)
  • Add a fallback edge and a message like “Please rephrase the question”

Branching (Router / switch and edges)

Always takes one branch

  • Runs → value of the variable in the condition (e.g. {{user_choice}} is empty)
  • Make sure the MessageKeyboard button writes a value into the variable
  • Comparison type: string 'priority' vs number 1 vs boolean true
  • In Router, enable default branch for remaining cases
  • In MessageKeyboard, connect a default edge for free text

Found legacy if_else in an old scenario

  • Logic is the same as Router: conditions + else
  • For new training flows use Router or switch

Router / switch “does not work” after registered_users__get

  • In training, Use Case 2 does not use registered_users — start with a simple menu via edges or Router on user_choice
  • If you still use __get: edge error = customer not found — that is an expected branch, not a bug

Conditional branches (Router) · Built-in actions — switch


Handoff to an operator from the scenario (Use Case 3)

Edge limit does not fire / customer is in queue but silence

  • In connect parameters: status: "queue" (if needed)
  • After edge limit there must be a MessageKeyboard with text for the customer
  • Check Runs: on which edge execution stopped

Connect returns error

  • subject_alias does not match the subject alias in Settings → Operator Panel → Subjects
  • Subject not created or alias has a typo (case, space)

Connect success, but the dialog is not where you expected

  1. First compare subject_alias in the scenario with the subject in Settings
  2. Then — Operator Panel documentation (routing, operators)

CSAT / NPS (Use Case 7b)

CSAT does not start after dialog close

  • Check chat_closed_alias in all connect blocks — it must point to the CSAT section alias
  • No duplicated alias entrypoint in two sections
  • CSAT section exists, alias in Latin characters

Error writing to Custom Data / INTEGER

  • Field rate must be type INTEGER in the CD model
  • Free-text on the keyboard went into __set — protect the source-handle (disconnect or Router / validation)
  • In Runs: send text instead of a button — expect edge error, not success on write

Score is not collected in email / a channel without keyboard

  • Check supportedMessengers on the keyboard node
  • Add a separate branch or skip CSAT for channels without buttons

NPS / score not after close in widget

  • Check alias chat_closed / call_node path in the connect block
  • Audit the alias in Runs after simulating close

Operator Panel / queue (reference)

Operator does not see the dialog

  • First: subject_alias in the scenario vs subject in Settings
  • Then: operator linked to the subject / skill group — OP documentation
  • If the scenario and Settings are correct — ConnectiveOne support

Action Jail / phone (Use Case 5)

Three UA phone formats

Input Expectation
+380501234567 success
380501234567 normalize to +380…
0501234567 normalize to +380…

If one format fails — expand the regex / Action Jail; check validation on WaitForInput (phone vs none).

Validation on the node vs Action Jail

  • Validation on input — rejects invalid input before the action
  • Action Jail — normalizes allowed variants to one format
  • For production you often need both

CRM / mock API (Use Case 4)

Which CRM to use for training?

Mock. See Mock vs production API. A real CRM — after the basic level (Use Case 1…9).

401 / empty response

  • Token in headers via {{instance_settings.…}}
  • Instance Settings key exists and is filled
  • save_responce (or response_mapping) is set on the node — check the variable name in Runs

In legacy if_else always goes to the “not found” branch

  • Compare status: string "200" vs number 200 — check the actual type in Runs
  • Check that save_responce wrote the expected fields into {{crm_data.*}}

Chatbot vs Agent in Fast Line Pro

Question Answer
What is the difference? Chatbot — replies from KB/prompt without tools. Agent — same + Tools and advanced modes
What to use for FAQ / categorizer? Chatbot + action_fastline_pro (Use Case 1 / 10 / 12)
When do you need an Agent? When AI calls tools / streaming — see Advanced Fast Line Pro
Docs say “agent”, UI says “Chatbot” Scenario parameter agent_name is the AI app name; the type can be Chatbot
AI is silent in the scenario First “Testing” in Fast Line Pro without the scenario; then agent_name, KB, fallback edge

Tickets (Use Case 10)

Where to create the categorizer — main bot or Copilot?

  • AI catalog (optional): CD lookup in the same bot — see AI catalog
  • Use Case 12: separate Copilot — overview

Ticket is not created / error edge

  • subject_alias does not match the subject in Settings
  • Check action_tickets_create vs action_tickets_create_v2 in Inspector
  • Runs → constants after create: ticket_id or equivalent

“Sticky” chat_room_id / repeated create

  • Check create-action parameters: whether an old room is reused without logic
  • New Run vs continuing the same dialog — different behavior
  • In Runs: which chat_room_id is in constants before and after create

Ticket custom field not visible in tabular OP

  • Subject fields in Settings → Tickets
  • Does not block the Use Case 10 happy path in Runs (ticket_id is enough)

Broadcast (Use Case 11)

  • First: native URL in MessageKeyboard (open-url) — see Use Case 11
  • Action Jail — only if native does not cover the case

Telegram OK, Viber error / not delivered

  • Check open-url vs open-web-app
  • Text-only vs image+button — simplify for diagnostics
  • Document the result in the result template (Viber attempt)

send_after / one_time

  • send_after: create success in Runs ≠ instant delivery in the channel — wait or check the delay
  • one_time: a repeated trigger must not duplicate the message
  • Do not confuse with action_broadcast__subscribe (topic for a series of broadcasts)

Why action_broadcast__subscribe?

  • User subscription to a topic for future broadcasts, not a one-off send from the “Clients” tab
  • One-off broadcast in Use Case 11 — via Broadcast template + alias

Broadcast subscribe


Priority segment (optional)

Different branches do not fire

  • Node order: first check the segment, then subject_alias
  • Variable type: '1' (string) vs 1 (number) vs true (boolean) — see Runs
  • Mock API / Registered Users / CD — align the segment flag source

Priority segment


Copilot / process bot (optional)

Where does the catalog categorizer live (Use Case 12)?

  • In the Copilot bot (a separate bot or process sections)
  • The main bot only routes (“Catalog” button)

Copilot vs macro Use Case 8

Copilot Use Case 12 Macro Use Case 8
Initiator Customer Operator
Goal AI + CD lookup Action in the dialog

  • No on the first pass: deeplink params in constants on Start → registered_users__get → branches
  • Details — in Use Case 6

Operator Panel / filters

“In queue” vs “Unassigned”

  • In queue: dialogs waiting for an operator in the queue
  • Unassigned: without an assignee; they may overlap — check Settings → Operator Panel and the Runs connect block

Advanced Fast Line Pro (optional)


Registered Users

Data is not stored “forever”

  • Only state was used — you need registered_users__set
  • Fields were not added to the Registered Users model in Settings

How to test across sessions?

  1. Finish the Run after registration
  2. New Run → registered_users__get at start
  3. Optionally — the same user via Telegram

Use Case 6 — registration and return visit


Macros

Operator does not see “Run macro”

  1. Section is marked “Used as a macro”
  2. Settings → Operator Panel → Process macro → bot with macros selected
  3. Dialog is open in Operator Line (not only scenario preview)
  4. Macro variables are declared in the section parameters

Integrator overview — macros


Channels

Telegram does not receive messages

  • Settings → Bots → Channels → token is valid
  • You tested preview but expected Telegram — those are different paths
  • For Use Case 1 the channel is optional; preview is enough for logic

Keyboard is not shown

  • supportedMessengers on the keyboard node
  • The channel supports inline buttons

Different behavior widget vs Telegram

  • Separate branches or validation by {{channel}}
  • Test critical flows in both channels if the bot is multichannel
  • Message mode (HTML / plain) in MessageKeyboard
  • For widget — check link display parameters in Inspector

Connect Telegram


AI Assistant (Instance Agent) {#ai-assistant-instance-agent}

This is not Fast Line Pro in the bot — see concepts — Instance Agent.

Training rule

  1. UC first by hand → self-check in Runs.
  2. Optionally after — rebuild the same UC via Agent and compare edges / alias / variables.
  3. Trust Runs, not the agent’s answer.

Agent built a scenario, but it does not work

  • Refresh Scenario Builder (F5 / Cmd+R) after agent edits
  • Check Runs — edges, variables, which edge actually fired
  • Fix by hand; Agent is for explanations and optional rebuilds

Agent answer contradicts Runs

  • Trust Runs and the test in the channel / OP
  • Ask the agent to explain a specific node by title, then verify in Inspector

No “spark” button in Scenario Builder

Read-only or no write permission

  • The agent only explains and suggests a UI tour — you make the changes yourself
  • Ask mode is enough for most training UCs

General debug {#general-debug}

Step Tool Action
1 Runs Find the run; stop step; edge
2 Trace / log Variables, constants, error text
3 “Test action” Node Inspector — isolated Action test
4 Fast Line Pro Test the agent separately from the scenario
5 Alias subject_alias, entrypoints, chat_closed_alias vs Settings
6 Channel Settings → Bots; preview vs Telegram/widget
7 Operator Line Optional E2E after connect

Details: Use Case 9 — tooling tour. Outside the scenario: when it is not the scenario.

If after self-debug the scenario is correct but platform behavior is inconsistent — ConnectiveOne support.
