> 
> You can update these settings at any time from the **Settings** section of your AI Agent.

## Add knowledge to an Agentic AI Agent

Now that your Agentic AI Agent has been created, it's time to give it knowledge by connecting sources. This could be an internal knowledge base, a public-facing Help Center, or any external website.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Agents have access to the knowledge base throughout all customer interactions and don’t need a specific skill set to use it.

Dialpad’s AI Agents can sync with the following popular content management platforms:

- Zendesk
- Document360
- Box
- Guru
- Google Drive

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> You must select a specific folder, not the entire drive.
> 
> Google Docs, PDF, HTML, TXT, and MD files are supported.

These knowledge connectors sync every 24 hours, ensuring updates to your Help Center articles are automatically reflected in the chatbot’s connected knowledge.

You can also use our custom web crawler to add content from any website.

****Webcrawler configuration****

When using a custom webcrawler, you can choose to crawl selected pages or the entire website.

If crawling only specific pages, you’ll need to configure the following details.

- **Base URL**: The root of the website that will be crawled (this will act as the reference point for the entire domain).
- **Starting Pages**: The specific entry points for the crawling process. They are the actual URLs where the crawling starts but not necessarily the root of the website.
  - These URLs can be deep links that point to specific pages within the domain.
- **Labels**: Specify a label to be applied to each imported document. This can be useful for distinguishing documents from other sources (e.g. uploads).

You can also customize your webcrawler using the following advanced settings:

- **Ignore meta directives**: Instruct the crawler to disregard <meta> tag directives such as robots="noindex, nofollow" that are normally used to control how search engines index and link to a page.
- **Force crawl**: Instead of relying on the sitemap to discover which pages to crawl, force crawl dynamically discovers the pages by fetching and processing every discoverable link, beginning with the starting pages.
- **Use custom agent**: Specifies a custom user agent string.
- **Ignore page locale**: When set, the crawler ignores any locale specified by the page (via HTML lang attributes, HTTP headers, or meta tags) and instead treats the content as if it fits the desired locale.
- **CSS selector**: Use a custom CSS selector to specify what content to scrape from each page.
- **Minimum wait duration**: Customize the delay between crawling each page.

*If you’re using the custom webcrawler, you must have legal rights to use the crawled and imported content from all linked websites.

Not limited to websites, you can also upload helpful documents! Note that documents do not sync with Dialpad, meaning if you update your file, you must remove it and upload the newest version.

To add knowledge to your chatbot, go to your Dialpad **Admin Settings**.

1. Select **AI Agents**
2. Select the AI Agent
3. Go to **Documents**
4. Select **Configure sources**

![The Documents tab on an Agentic Agent settings page. The Configure Sources option is highlighted.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/Configure Sources(1).png)
5. Connect to a content source, or upload documents

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If you’re connecting to a content management system, you’ll need to provide additional details such as your domain, API key, or locale.
6. Follow the prompts, then select **Save**

> [!TIP]
> Tip
> 
> If you want to upload individual documents, select **Add document** to add unique files.
> 
> ![The documents tab on an Agentic Agent settings page. The Add document option is highlighted.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/Add Documents(1).png)
> 
> *Individual documents cannot be larger than 5 MB.

## Agentic Skills

Skills define what an Agentic AI Agent is allowed to do. A Skill grants the agent access to specific actions, for example, adding a caller’s information into your CRM when the caller is a new lead.

These actions are executed through Connectors.

Each API endpoint inside a connector is called a Data Operation. A Data Operation represents a specific “unit of work” the agent can perform, such as Create Contact, Update Lead, or Log Call Note.

Once a connector is published, you can select which Data Operations (actions) and flows you want to make available to your agent by attaching them to a Skill. This allows you to control exactly what the agent can do with that integration.

### Skill Prompts and Guardrails

Each Skill includes its own configuration prompts. One of the most important parts of Skill configuration is defining Guardrails.

Guardrails describe the limits of what the Agentic AI Agent can do. They help prevent undesired actions by explicitly defining boundaries—for example:

- What the agent should never do.
- What data the agent should not access or modify.
- When the agent must ask for confirmation before acting.
- When the agent should escalate to a human.

Clear guardrails are essential for safe and reliable agent behavior. While some guardrail enforcement is handled automatically by the platform, specifying them clearly helps ensure the agent behaves as intended.

### Create Agentic Skills

To create Agentic Skills for your Agentic Agent, go to your Dialpad **Admin Portal**.

1. Select **AI Agents**
2. Navigate to the desired chatbot, then select Manage your agent
3. Select **Skills**
4. Select **Add a skill**

![The Skills tab on an Agentic AI Agent settings page showing the Add a Skill option highlighted.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/Add Agentic Skill.png)
5. Choose to create a skill from scratch or use one of the pre-defined templates

![The Create a new Skill window showing the options for creating a skill from scratch or from an existing template.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/image-1769132852621.png)
6. If you create a skill from scratch, fill in these fields:

| **Skill name** | The name of the skill. |
| --- | --- |
| **Description** | The intended goal of the skill for the agentic agent. This should be kept at a high level of what you want to skill to do. |
| **Instructions** | What you want the agentic agent's skill to accomplish. Be as specific as possible. |
| **Actions** | The action you want to agentic agent to perform. To add an action, type “**/**” in the field or select the drop-down menu and choose from the list provided. |
| [**Connections**](/v1/docs/create-an-agentic-ai-agent#connectors-for-ai-agents) | The integration that the Action is linked to. |
| **Guardrails** | Describe what things you don’t want the agentic agent to do within its skill. |
| **Labels (optional)** | Words to describe the skills to enable users to search for a skill performed by the agentic agent. |

![The details for an Agentic AI Agent's skill, including description, instructions, guardrails, actions/connectors, and labels.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/Aghentic Skill Details.png)

> [!NOTE]
> Note

> If you use a template to create your skill, read through to verify it follows the flow you want. Add guidelines to the highlighted areas to suit your desired process.
7. Once all fields are filled in, select **Validate**
8. Select **Publish**

## Greeting Skill

The Greeting Skill is an optional feature that automatically runs a specific skill when a new conversation starts, before your AI Agent delivers its usual greeting. Use the Greeting Skill when you want a dynamic or data-driven first interaction instead of a static greeting line.

This lets you implement use cases like running outbound appointment reminders or capturing leads by collecting data before handoff. When a conversation begins, the agent checks for this skill and runs it first. The skill can use launch context like caller ID and launch variables, and it can call actions like lookups and API calls. Once the skill finishes, the agent’s normal orchestration continues with flows and other skills.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The Greeting Skill is optional and you can only set one active Greeting Skill per AI Agent at a time.
> 
> A Greeting Skill runs on every new launch, including inbound, web chat, and outbound bot conversations.

> [!TIP]
> Tip
> 
> Before you set a Greeting Skill, make sure the skill already exists for your AI Agent. If you don’t have a skill ready, you can [create an agentic skill](/v1/docs/create-an-agentic-ai-agent#create-agentic-skills).

### Set or change the Greeting Skill

To configure or reassign a Greeting Skill, go to your Dialpad **Admin Settings**.

1. Select **AI Agents**
2. Select the AI Agent you want to add a skill to
3. Select **Skills**
4. Find the skill you want to use as the Greeting Skill
5. In the Actions column, select **Options** > **Set as greeting**

![The skill options menu with the Set as greeting option shown.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-05-08 at 4.06.56 PM.png)
6. Save or publish your changes, if required.

After you confirm the update, the selected skill shows a **(Greeting)** badge next to the skill name.

![View of a list of skills for an Agentic AI agent. One skill is labeled Greeting to show it's a Greeting Skill.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0f28ad44-2863-4372-a27e-c6728808d742/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-05-08 at 4.07.31 PM.png)

If you assign a new Greeting Skill later, the new skill becomes active. The agent no longer uses the previously configured Greeting Skill.

7. Select **Validate**, then select **Publish**

### Skills Mining

> [!NOTE]
> EAP Feature
> 
> This is an Early Adopter Program (EAP) feature.

Skills Mining helps you identify optimization opportunities for an agent by analyzing voice call transcripts. The mining process recommends skills for improving agent performance and call success rates. It analyzes voice interactions to determine which skills, if added, could help deflect calls more effectively or improve resolution outcomes.

> [!NOTE]
> **Feature Requirements**
> 
> Skill mining is currently only available for English voice contact centers. Digital channels, main lines, departments, and other languages are currently not supported. Skills mining is available to all users that have permission to edit an AI Agent.
> 
> 
> 
> **Call eligibility**
> 
> Only calls meeting the following criteria are included:
> 
> - Human-to-human calls (AI-handled calls are excluded).
> - Calls longer than 1 minute.
> - Calls with at least 100 words in the transcript.
> 
> **Data requirements**
> 
> A minimum of 100 calls per call purpose category, per contact center is required.
> 
> If fewer calls are available, the analysis may return no results.

## Troubleshooting

Here are some troubleshooting solutions for different scenarios.

### No Greeting Skill is running

If you do not configure a Greeting Skill, the AI Agent uses its standard configured greeting instead.

### The wrong Greeting Skill is active

Each AI Agent can only have one active Greeting Skill at a time. If you set a different skill as the greeting, it replaces the previous one.

### I want the greeting to use customer or launch data

The Greeting Skill can access launch context. This includes caller ID, called number, and launch variables. It can also call actions like lookups or API calls.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do customers connect to Contact Center agents?

Once the Agentic AI Agent is connected to your digital or voice channel, when a customer says “I want to speak to an agent” they’re automatically escalated into your Contact Center.

### Can I integrate my Agentic AI Agent into a native mobile app?

Yes. Dialpad’s AI Agent’s native bindings are publicly available for both Android and iOS apps.

If you want to integrate the Agentic AI Agent into your native app, refer to the following public repositories:

- Android GitHub repo
- iOS GitHub repo

Each repository includes:

- A READ ME with setup instructions
- A sample app
- The full framework code

You can use the framework as-is or customize it as a starting point for your own implementation.

### My agent monologues on voice, and callers hate it. What’s going wrong?

Long, dense behavior/task descriptions can cause the agent to generate long, essay‑style answers, which are especially painful on voice. For voice, keep behavior prompts short and explicit about step‑by‑step, bite‑sized instructions, and rely on skills and/or the knowledge base for detail instead of writing long explanations in the behavior field.

### What should I actually put in the ‘Describe the tasks’ and ‘Describe how this agent should behave’ fields?

Use these fields for high‑level intent and tone, not instructions or guardrails that are already handled at the system level.

- Good content: what types of problems the agent should solve, how formal it should be, whether to split instructions into steps, and when to escalate.
- Bad content: duplicating safety policies, modifying core routing rules, or channel‑specific hacks (“for voice do X, for chat do Y”).

### Why is the agent ignoring instructions like ‘Respond in English only’ or ‘Wait 3 seconds before greeting’?

Some instructions contradict how the underlying system works and will be ignored. The model does not have real timing control (“wait 3 seconds”), and core language behavior is usually governed by system‑level prompts and telephony setup, not the per‑agent behavior field. If you see non‑English strings or timing issues, that’s usually a platform bug or configuration problem, not something you should “fix” with agent‑level prompts.

### Where do guardrails belong – in my agent prompt, or somewhere else?

Most safety/abuse/self‑harm/malicious‑request guardrails are handled by system prompts and platform‑level logic. Re‑stating them in the agent behavior field tends to confuse the model and bloat the context. Use agent behavior for business‑specific limits (e.g., “Never change a booking within 24 hours of departure; escalate instead”), not generic safety rules.

### Why does the bot ‘make something up’ instead of escalating or saying it doesn’t know?

If the agent invents plausible but wrong guidance (“check if your email domain is blacklisted”) instead of escalating. This usually means:

- The fallback policy is too permissive (low confidence threshold).
- There is no clear ‘don’t guess’ rule tied to that topic (e.g., billing, ports).
- There’s no specific skill or knowledge base entry that tells it to escalate.

Treat high‑risk topics as “no‑guess zones”: give them explicit escalation instructions and, where possible, guard them with skills instead of open‑ended answers.

### What happens if the caller stops responding in a voice session, will it remain open?

No, agents are set to gracefully end voice sessions after 90 seconds of caller inactivity.

### Does my AI Agent need a Greeting Skill?

No. Greeting Skill is optional, and AI Agents work without it.

### Can I set more than one Greeting Skill?

No. Each AI Agent can have only one Greeting Skill at a time.
