Sending chat transcripts to users via email
As an administrator, you can enable end users to receive the transcripts of their chat conversations at their email addresses that are registered with the organization. End users can get the transcript by entering a phrase in the chat. A transcript contains the complete conversation between a user and chatbot, along with the date and time of the conversation.
To enable users to receive a chat transcript, you must create the following items in the IBM Watson Assistant:
- Intent—defines the action to perform such as create a ticket, find an issue.
- Entity—is a class of object on which the action should be performed such as tickets and issues.
- Dialog node—uses the intents and entities to interact with an application user.

- Log in to IBM Watson Assistant and navigate to the Intents tab.
- Create the emailtranscript intent and provide examples such as I need the transcript of this chat or Send chat transcript.
- Click the Back option.
- Select Entities > MyEntities.
