What Are Dialog Scenarios

A scenario is a structured conversation script with reply buttons, branches, and conditions. Unlike a free-form AI conversation, a scenario guides the user along a defined path: qualification → presentation → lead capture.

Use scenarios for:

  • Sales scripts
  • Technical support with a decision tree
  • Booking services (clinic, salon, legal consultation)
  • Lead qualification (BANT)

Step 1: Create a New Scenario

  1. Log in to Auralix → your project
  2. Go to Agent → Scenarios
  3. Click Create Scenario
  4. Give it a clear name, e.g. Book a Consultation

Step 2: Add the First Step

Each step in a scenario is an agent message plus user reply options.

Example first step:

Agent: Hi! How can I help you?

  • [See pricing]
  • [Book a consultation]
  • [Something else]

Buttons make the conversation fast and predictable. Users tap instead of typing.

Step 3: Build the Branches

Each button leads to the next step, forming a conversation tree:

Start
├── See pricing → Show plans → Offer a trial
├── Book → Choose time → Collect contact → Confirmation
└── Something else → Free AI conversation

In Auralix you can mix modes: some steps use buttons, others allow free-text input with an AI response.

Step 4: Add Data Collection

At the right step, enable contact collection. The agent will ask for a name, phone, or email — and save the lead automatically.

Tip: ask for contact details after the user shows interest (e.g. clicked "Book"), not at the start. Conversion rates are higher.

Step 5: Set Conditional Transitions

Add keyword-based transitions:

  • If the user types "price" or "cost" → jump to the pricing step
  • If they chose service X → show service X description

Conditional transitions make the scenario smarter without adding extra buttons.

Step 6: Assign the Scenario to a Channel

After saving, assign the scenario:

  • All users — triggers on the first message
  • On command — e.g. when the user clicks a widget button
  • Only during certain hours — if you operate on a schedule

FAQ

Are scenarios and free AI separate modes? No. You can combine them: some branches use buttons, others use free conversation with the knowledge base.

How many steps can a scenario have? There's no technical limit. Practically, keep it under 10–12 steps — longer flows cause drop-off.

Can I use multiple scenarios in one project? Yes. You can create different scenarios for different channels or entry points.

How do I see where users drop off? The Analytics → Scenarios section shows a funnel by step.

Summary

Dialog scenarios give you a controlled customer journey through a script. Where free AI conversation offers flexibility, a scenario delivers predictability and conversion.
