Overview

The Kognitos Playground is your space to build and test out your automations! You can write your own automations from scratch or leverage the Kognitos Support AI for suggestions.

To access the Playground, navigate to the Playground tab from the left nav bar.

Navigating the Playground

Let's walk through the main features of the playground:

1. Brain Monitor

The Kognitos Brain is the engine that actually parses the English you write and then executes the automations. You can watch the brain work and what it is currently processing through the status updates and the current emoji shows the instant feedback of the progress status, it is used to represent the Brain!

2. Automation Editor

This is the section of the Playground where you will actually write your automations. For more information on how to effectively write an automation check out this guide!

4. Run Button

Clicking this button runs the automation you've built in the editor. You'll see each line of the automation highlighted with a green line if ran successfully, and a red line if you need to provide input to the automation.

5. Rerun Button

This button reruns your automation from the beginning without creating a new playground.

6. Create Process Button

This button takes your automation you've built in the editor and allows you to publish it as a Process. Your automation will remain in the playground even after you publish it as a Process so you can continue to build and test. This page has more information on Processes.

7. Duplicate playground

This button allows you to create a copy of your playground.

Writing Your Automation in the Editor

The playground is designed to be easy to visualize and write your automations. To start, click into the editor and type out your instructions for the automation. When you want to write a new line, use the Enter key.

When you're writing instructions that require indenting the line, you'll be able to clearly visualize which instructions correspond to which loop or conditional statement.

When you're ready to test your automation, you can click the Run button and await your output.

Copying Intercom Recommendations into the Editor
