        properties:
            text: It works!

For the flow's trigger, set the trigger type to API_AI. Paste your client access token in the client_access_token field. Set language to en. Finally, set intent to cancel.

Your settings should look like this:

Press OK and save the flow. Now we're ready to test our bot!

In the chat test window, type hi. In the debug window at the bottom, you should see No matching intent. This is because our text did not meet the default 0.67 confidence level our flow's intent requires.

Now type how do I cancel. The bot should respond It works!.
