This allows to retrieve and use information about the matched intent during the execution of the rule triggered by it. <code>intent<\/code> can be used in any expression supported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/xatkit-bot-platform\/xatkit\/wiki\/Getting-Started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Execution language<\/a>, and provides some utility methods to\u00a0access intent-related information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>intent.getMatchedInput(): returns the raw input that has been matched<\/li>\n<li>intent.getRecognitionConfidence(): returns the confidence of the match (between 0 and 1)<\/li>\n<li>intent.getDefinition(): returns the definition of the intent (its required contexts, parameters, etc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can now finely customize your bots based on these values. The example below shows how to use\u00a0<code>intent.getMatchedInput()<\/code> to tune the message sent by the bot when the bot doesn&#8217;t understand what the user is trying to say (as its name indicates, the <em>default fallback<\/em> is the rule triggered when we are unable to match any of the user-defined intents).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118709 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/matched_input_execution.png\" alt=\"Matched Input Execution Rule\" width=\"662\" height=\"109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/matched_input_execution.png 662w, https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/matched_input_execution-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-118710 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/matched_input_output.png\" alt=\"Matched Input Bot\" width=\"351\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/matched_input_output.png 351w, https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/matched_input_output-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Note that these values are accessible regardless of the concrete messaging platform you target (Slack, Discord, or our <a href=\"https:\/\/xatkit.com\/twitter-support-xatkit-bots\/\">brand new Twitter platform<\/a>), and are defined by both the DialogFlow and the RegExp intent providers.<\/p>\n<p>This feature was initially discussed in the reviews of our <a href=\"https:\/\/xatkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/document.pdf\">article published at the CAiSE&#8217;19 conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xatkit gives you all the info about the intent matched by your chatbot.
