Scenarios
A scenario is a practice situation. It pairs a persona with a goal, a set of objections, and the criteria for “the trainee handled this well”. Build scenarios from real calls — the closer to your actual customer base, the more useful the training.
Anatomy of a scenario
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Title | Short and concrete — Refund objection — gold tier. |
| Persona | The customer the trainee will talk to. |
| Opening line | What the customer says first. |
| Goal | What the trainee should accomplish. |
| Objections | Things the AI customer will push back with. |
| Success criteria | Conditions for “passed”. |
| Documents | SOPs, scripts, case files the trainee can reference. |
| Rubric | The scoring criteria — built-in or custom. |
| Difficulty | Easy, medium, hard. Drives mood drift and objection density. |
A worked example
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Title | Refund refusal — out of policy window |
| Persona | Frustrated cardholder — Maya |
| Opening | ”I want a refund for the espresso machine. It’s been three weeks and the warranty is gone.” |
| Goal | Empathize, explain the policy, offer a partial credit, retain the customer. |
| Objections | ”I never agreed to this”, “I’ll cancel my account”, “Get me your manager”. |
| Success criteria | Trainee acknowledges feelings within 15s, references policy verbatim, offers credit, doesn’t escalate. |
| Documents | refund-policy-2026.pdf, customer-retention-playbook.md |
| Rubric | Built-in empathy + resolution + compliance |
| Difficulty | Hard |
Build a scenario
Open Training
Go to Training → Scenarios → New scenario.
Pick a persona
Either select an existing persona or click New persona to build one inline.
Write the opening and goal
Keep the opening to one or two sentences — that’s all the customer would actually say first. The goal is for you to remember why this scenario exists; the trainee never sees it.
List objections
3-5 specific pushbacks. The AI customer will weave them in as the conversation progresses.
Define success criteria
Either a checklist (acknowledged feelings, quoted policy, offered credit) or a free-text description. Used by the AI grader.
Attach documents
Drag in PDFs, Word docs, or Markdown. The trainee can open them mid-call (it’s open-book), and the AI customer might reference them too.
Pick a rubric
Use the built-in rubric to start. Customize per-scenario only if the situation needs it (e.g. compliance scripts that must be quoted verbatim).
Save and test
Run a self-attempt to make sure it feels right. Iterate.
Generate scenarios in bulk
Click Generate from description, paste a paragraph about your business and the kinds of calls you want to practice, and Omniflow drafts a batch of scenarios you can review.
Generated scenarios are a starting point, not the finished product. Always read each one — the AI is good at shape, less reliable on the specifics of your policies and product.
