Built-in entities

Suggest Edits

Automate provides common built-in entities, called system entities or sys.entities.

System entities vary by language and it is important to understand which system entities are in use and how they behave.

System entities capture common variables in user phrases, such as name, location and times.

See the below tables for a detailed breakdown by language.

To access system entities in your flow use nlu.variables.variable_name. You can find variable names in NLU module in Analyze box.

🚧

Please note that entity names are not always compatible!

  • sys.Forename, sys.Surname is available only in Polish, whereas in other languages there is sys.Person
  • Definition of sys.Localization is broader in non Polish NLUs - sys.Country, sys.Settlement is exclusive only for Polish NLU

📘

sys.Time returns multiple values

Due to the fact that providing time is ambiguous when presenting it as datetime we provide possible values.

  • value - returns first possible matching time in the future
  • values - returns list of 3 elements, where 1st element is first possible matching time in the past, 2nd and 3rd contains following possible matching time in the future

Please use NLU tester to check what dates will be returned for expected user utterances
