Deploying a Chatbot: Checklist for Sharing

Correct Answer: D

After you authored the topics (which means to create a new topic and provide the set of trigger phrases that will invoke your bot) and added your bot's actions using the Authoring canvas, you are ready to Publish your bot.

Of course, you can test and debug your bot before you publish.

But before you deploy the bot, you must publish it.

After you publish your bot, you can add it to your website and the list of channels that the Power Virtual Agents portal provides.

Option A is incorrect because the Entities represent information that the bot is trying to identify based on natural language understanding from the customer's conversation.

When you finish with the chatbot's creation, you need to publish it and not add the new custom Entities before the deployment.

Option B is incorrect because adding new topics is not required before the bot's deployment.

You need to publish the bot before adding it to the company's website, Teams, and Facebook channels.

Option C is incorrect because testing the bot before deployment is good practice, but it is not required for the deployment.

Only publishing the bot is necessary before adding it to the company's website, Teams, and Facebook channels.

Option E is incorrect because the chatbot's publishing does not require creating any additional Azure AD security group.

You can add extra security for the bot's sharing if you need to.

Please review the security options under the Manage/Security sections of the Power Virtual Agents portal.

Before sharing your chatbot with your company's website, Teams, and Facebook channels, there are several steps you need to take.

1. Test Your Bot: It is important to thoroughly test your chatbot before deploying it to different channels. This will help you identify any bugs or issues that need to be fixed before the bot is available to your customers.

2. Add new topics: Topics are the different areas or subjects that your chatbot can handle. You need to make sure that you have added all the necessary topics to your bot to make it functional and helpful for your customers.

3. Authoring canvas: In the authoring canvas, you can add actions to your chatbot that allow it to interact with users and respond to their queries. Make sure you have created all the necessary actions for your chatbot.

4. Publish Your Bot: Once you are satisfied with your bot's performance, you need to publish it to make it available to your customers. This process involves making the bot available to different channels such as the website, Teams, and Facebook channels.

5. Create an Azure AD Security Group: If you want to share your bot with specific people or groups within your organization, you can create an Azure AD Security Group. This group will allow you to grant access to the bot only to authorized individuals or teams.

In conclusion, before sharing your chatbot with different channels, you must test it, add new topics and actions, publish it, and create an Azure AD Security Group if necessary.
