Custom entities have a
data type of text. The bot can recognize an entity in customer input, extract the
information, and save it to a variable. Custom entities support two methods of extraction:
regex pattern or a list of values and synonyms. Entities can be shared across versions of
the same bot.
From the Bot Builder menu, click Entities.
In the Entities list view, click New.
Provide an entity name and description and select an extraction type for the
entity.
If the entity type is Pattern, optionally enter a regex pattern. If the entity
represents something that follows a pattern, such as an order code or email address,
you can use a regular expression to capture it from user input. For example, use the
following regex to identify an email address in customer input:
\b\w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}\b
