Description of customisation
Tenjin's end-user experience and channels can be customised to meet your needs. The chatbot experience can be tailored to meet your brand(s). At the heart of Tenjin is conversation flow. There are several types of flow in Tenjin:
Welcome Flow – Runs at the start of the conversation (or when the conversation is first loaded in MS Teams).
Conversation Flow – The main conversation flow.
Proactive Flow – A flow that runs when a specific externally accessible endpoint is hit so external systems can trigger flows in Tenjin.
Projects Flows - Sets of flows that can be called from other flows.
You can group them as you wish, offering you flexibility to meet your needs, e.g., flows all relating to a particular platform, flows all relating to a specific solution, etc.
Customisations can be made in three ways:

Fighting climate change

Our efforts to be greener began in 2019 with the announcement of our flagship initiative, Treevolution. In 2022, we took the next step and initiated work to be Net Zero by 2035. Now, embedded in our work culture is a drive to do more for the environment, with a dedicated Eco-Ambassador team. We challenge ourselves to improve our operations and use sustainability as a catalyst for innovative thinking that results in a great, and green, service to our clients. This is our Green Guarantee. One key part of our mission is to have a positive impact on the environment. Treevolution, was the first of many environmental initiatives to have been implemented. We pride ourselves on having a strong relationship with both The Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and The National Forest Foundation, in which we plant 1 tree per consultant per week, 5 trees per permanent position filled and 10 trees per product delivery. We have planted nearly 17,000 trees in the UK and are well on our way to 18,000 trees globally.

Equal opportunity

Illuminet’s values and behaviours are at the heart of everything we do, ensuring our approach and delivery is in harmony with the testimony ‘All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights’.
