Answers to questions about testing changes safely across environments (Draft, Sandbox, Pre-release, Live) and managing multi-location agents using variants.
Use the deployment pipeline to test in isolated environments:
  1. Draft – make changes in the editor.
  2. Sandbox – publish your draft and test using agent chat or a sandbox phone number.
  3. Pre-release – promote for user acceptance testing (UAT).
  4. Live – promote to production when ready.
You can compare versions across environments before promoting, and rollback if issues arise.
Use variant management to manage location-specific content within a single agent. Each variant stores attributes like phone numbers, addresses, and hours.Variants are useful for:
  • Hotel chains, restaurant groups, or retail chains with multiple branches
  • Agents that need to respond differently based on which number was called
  • Dynamically populating responses with location-specific data using ${variant_attribute} syntax
See the variant management guide and CSV imports for bulk configuration.
