    Conversational subflows and actions allow end users to complete tasks through conversational interfaces. They capture users' intents when requesting to run specific subflows and actions, along with all necessary details for those subflows and actions. This streamlines the user experience by enabling them to accomplish everything in one place within an agent/AI assistant (such as Now Assist Panel or Now Assist Virtual Agent) and channels (such as MicroSoft Teams or Slack).
