Importing Conversation History

After importing

Once an import completes, the dream engine will begin processing the conversations. Depending on volume, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. You can monitor progress in Settings → Dream Engine. You’ll see:
  • Number of conversations queued
  • Number processed
  • Entities extracted so far
You don’t need to wait for the import to finish before using BaseLayer. New conversations are captured and processed in parallel.
