Automata

Automata shares many fields with AtomicState. It differs by:

• the lack of properties.is_chat_allowed and tasks fields.

• the different special event it can handle

• initial , states and context fields.

Automata (only difference)

Field's Name	Type (Required/Optional)	Description	Example
type	"automata" (Optional)	Indicates the type of structure, which here would be 'automata'.	'automata'
context	Object (Optional)	These are variables that are shared among all child states. These can be of type Variable. The key should be in lowercase, snake_case format.	{ "prompt": { "type": "text" } }
context[variable_name]	Variable (Required)	Variable can have an initial value or just a specified type.	{ "type": "text", value: "Welcome" }
initial	string (Required)	This is the name of the initial state that the automata should start in.	'initial_state'
states	Object (Required)	This holds all available states in the automata. Each state could be an AtomicState or Automata
transitions	Object (Optional)	Automata can trigger special events, including DONE.
