2. Once you select the action it populates various rows that are required to complete the actions, and assign different attributes for each row with respect to what information is required.



3. Once you have done assigning the attributes to save the node and your Integration is ready.

4. All tickets that will be created, corresponding ticket id for them will be saved in attribute {{user.ticket.id}}

5. If needed, the bot builder can use this attribute as-is or save it in a custom attribute and display the same to the user, who has created the ticket, in the chatbot flow
