Set

The Set action assigns a value to a named variable, which can be used throughout the skill/workflow.

Set(
    name: str,
    value: str,
    expose: bool = False
)

Where:

• name: Specify the name of the variable to set.
• value: Provide the value to assign to the variable.
• expose: (Optional) Specify whether to expose the variable externally. Defaults to False.

Example 1

Set(name="customer_preference", value="outside seating", expose=True)
Return(val=GetPersonaAttribute(id="persona_123", field="preference"))

The above code snippet assigns "outside seating" to the variable customer_preference and exposes it for use outside the current skill.

Example 2

{{#if IsEmpty(text=greetingPhraseInstruction)}}
    {{Set(name="base_instruction", value="Mention call reason from the context in the greeting phrase.")}}
    {{Set(name="base_context", value=Concat("call reason: ", callReason))}}
{{else}}
    {{Set(name="base_instruction", value="Strictly follow the greeting phrase instruction.")}}
    {{Set(name="base_context", value=Concat("greeting phrase instruction: ", greetingPhraseInstruction))}}
{{/if}}

Here:

• If greetingPhraseInstruction is empty:

  • base_instruction is set to: "Mention call reason from the context in the greeting phrase."
  • base_context is set to: "call reason: " + callReason (using the Concat function). callReason can be retrieved from another skill or set in the same skill.

• If greetingPhraseInstruction is not empty:

  • base_instruction is set to: "Strictly follow the greeting phrase instruction."
  • base_context is set to: "greeting phrase instruction: " + greetingPhraseInstruction.

Later in the system block, these set variables can be referenced:

{{base_instruction}}
{{base_context}}
