# Dialog State Transition

Dialog State Transitions allows developers to define and specify transitions between states.

Each State Transition is identified by a Name and a description.

### Map Intent

Similar to Dialog Workflow, the User can map the state Transition to an *Intent* using *Intent* button under the Action.

This would display all the *intents* you have previously defined. The user can select an intent he would like to map to the current workflow. Once mapped, the details of the mapping would be shown including the *Handler Type*.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://readme.dhee.ai/platform-reference/intents-and-automation/skills-dsm/dialog-state-transition.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
