Custom actions extend your agent beyond question-answering. You can add clickable buttons that link to URLs and forms that collect user data — both triggered intelligently by the AI during conversations.

Action types

Mind-e supports three action types:
TypePurpose
Custom buttonDisplays a clickable button that links to a URL
Custom formShows a multi-field form to collect structured data
BookingOpens the booking interface — see Booking & Appointments

Custom buttons

A custom button adds a clickable link in the agent’s response. Use it to direct users to a page, resource, or external tool.

Configuration

FieldDescription
Action nameInternal identifier used by the AI (e.g., contact_us)
When to useNatural language instructions for when the AI should show this button (e.g., “when the user asks about contacting support”)
Button textThe text displayed on the button
URLThe link the button opens

Example

If you create a button with:
  • Action name: pricing_page
  • When to use: “when the user asks about pricing or plans”
  • Button text: “View Pricing”
  • URL: https://mind-e.co/pricing
The AI will show a “View Pricing” button whenever a user asks about pricing.

Custom forms

A custom form collects structured information from users during a conversation. The AI triggers the form based on your instructions.

Configuration

FieldDescription
Action nameInternal identifier (e.g., lead_form)
When to useInstructions for when the AI should show the form
Form titleHeading displayed above the form (optional)
Submit button textLabel for the submit button (default: “Submit”)
Form fieldsThe fields to collect — see below

Form field types

TypeDescription
TextSingle-line text input
EmailEmail input with validation
PhonePhone number input
TextareaMulti-line text input for longer responses
File uploadFile upload supporting: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PNG, JPG, TXT
Each field has:
  • Label — displayed above the field
  • Placeholder — hint text inside the field (optional)
  • Required — whether the user must fill it in

Example

A lead collection form might have:
  • Name (text, required)
  • Email (email, required)
  • Phone (phone, optional)
  • Message (textarea, optional)

How the AI decides when to trigger actions

Actions are triggered by the AI based on the “When to use” instructions you write. Write clear, specific descriptions: Good:
Use this when the user wants to speak with a human agent or asks
for live support.
Too vague:
Use this sometimes.
The AI evaluates each user message against your action descriptions and triggers the appropriate action when it matches.

Viewing submissions

Form submissions are saved and visible in your agent’s dashboard. Each submission includes:
  • The form data
  • The conversation it came from
  • Timestamps
