StyleSheet

StyleSheets enable you to give your Assistant a style by specifying its voice, error messages, success messages, and data collection validation behavior.

• voice: the assistant's style for Programmable Voice.
  • say_voice: specify the assistant's text-to-speech voice.
• collect: the assistant's style for the collect action.
  • validate: set which task the assistant should use if there is a failure when collecting data
    • on_failure: specify the message the assistant says when a question is answered with invalid input
    • on_success: specify the message the assistant says when a question is answered with valid input
    • max_attempts: the max number of times the assistant should attempt to collect data before redirecting to the on_failure task or URL.

All Autopilot REST API resources use the following base URL:

Selecting a voice for your bot

For bots deployed on Programmable Voice the voice attribute defines the text to speech voice used. Text to speech is the process that converts text (the text that you put in the say action) into a human-sounding voice. You can enter any of the en-US voices listed in the Text-to-Speech documentation.
