Understand the Use Rovo action

The Use Rovo action uses smart values to generate a unique and dynamic response from Rovo each time the flow runs. Read more about smart values

You can still add specialized agents to your automation whenever you like. How to add an agent to an automation flow

An org admin or site admin must set up the automation flow for Rovo to act autonomously.

  5. Select Next, then choose Add an action.

  6. Select the Use Rovo action.

  7. Write a prompt, or use the examples provided in the field (required).

  8. When you’re done, copy the smart value Output ({{rovoResponse}})for easy reference in the next step.

  9. Then, add a second action that uses Rovo’s output.

  10. Configure the action with the smart value {{rovoResponse}}.

Then, whenever the flow triggers, Rovo will perform the action on your behalf.
