What are ConnectiveOne Integrations

Integrations allow connecting ConnectiveOne with your external systems (CRM, ERP, marketing platforms, custom applications) for data exchange and process automation.


Why Are Integrations Needed?

Integrations help:

  • Automate processes — launch bot scenarios from your systems
  • Synchronize data — exchange information between ConnectiveOne and other systems
  • Receive events — track changes in the operator panel and dialogues
  • Extend functionality — connect additional channels and services

Integration Types

ConnectiveOne supports several integration types, each solving its own tasks.

Custom Channel

What it is: Integration of external systems through HTTP POST requests. Custom Channel allows connecting any system that can send and receive HTTP requests.

When to use:

  • You need to connect an existing bot from another system to ConnectiveOne
  • You need to integrate correspondence from CRM to ConnectiveOne
  • You need to quickly connect a new channel (messenger) for which there is no official integration yet
  • You need full bidirectional integration (sending and receiving messages)

How it works:

  • Your system sends POST requests to ConnectiveOne's input_url
  • ConnectiveOne sends messages and events to your custom_channel_url
  • All messages and events are processed through ConnectiveOne scenarios

More details:Integration via Custom Channel


API (Enterprise API, Public API)

What it is: REST API for receiving and changing ConnectiveOne data. Allows reading and changing information about dialogues, operators, users, tickets, and other objects.

When to use:

  • You need to get data about dialogues, operators, users from ConnectiveOne
  • You need to change dialogue parameters (status, topic, comment) from an external system
  • You need to synchronize data between ConnectiveOne and your system
  • You need to integrate ConnectiveOne with your CRM/ERP system

How it works:

  • You send HTTP requests (GET, POST) to ConnectiveOne endpoints
  • You use an API key or JWT token for authorization
  • You receive data in JSON format

More details:


call_node (Call Node API)

What it is: API for launching bot scenarios from external systems. Allows calling any entry point (Entry Point) in scenarios and passing parameters.

When to use:

  • You need to send a message to a client about order/delivery status
  • You need to launch a satisfaction survey after service provision
  • You need to send a payment reminder
  • You need to launch an integration process (for example, directory synchronization)

How it works:

  • You send a POST request to the /kw/api/call_node/ endpoint or use Entry Point URL
  • You specify bot_id, connector_alias (entry point), chat_id, channel
  • You can pass additional parameters in data, which will be available in the scenario
  • ConnectiveOne launches the scenario for the specified user

More details:Launch scenario via API call_node


Operator Panel Webhooks

What it is: Mechanism for receiving events from the operator panel to your external service. Webhook sends events (chat creation, operator connection, chat closure) to the specified URL.

When to use:

  • You need to track events in the operator panel (chat creation, operator connection)
  • You need to synchronize dialogue statuses with your CRM system
  • You need to log operator panel events to an external system
  • You need to integrate with an analytics system

How it works:

  • You specify event_webhook_url in the operator_panel__connect_to_operator_with_msg action
  • ConnectiveOne sends POST requests with events to your URL
  • Your service processes events and performs necessary actions

Differences from Custom Channel:

  • Operator panel webhook only sends events from the operator panel
  • Does not require separate channel configuration
  • Configured directly in the action

What it is: Direct links for launching bot scenarios with parameters. Deeplink allows creating a unique link for each user or scenario.

When to use:

  • You need to launch a scenario from an advertising campaign with unique parameters
  • You need to pass client ID or order ID through a link
  • You need to create personalized links for different user groups
  • You need to track traffic source (UTM tags)

How it works:

  • You create a link with parameters (for example, https://t.me/mybot?start=customer_12345)
  • User clicks the link
  • Parameter is passed to the scenario through {{messenger_input_param}}
  • Scenario processes the parameter and performs corresponding actions

Supported messengers:

  • Telegram
  • Viber
  • Facebook Messenger

More details:Launch scenario via deeplink


send_request (Data Exchange)

What it is: Action for sending HTTP requests from ConnectiveOne to external services and receiving responses. Allows exchanging data between ConnectiveOne and external systems directly in scenarios.

When to use:

  • You need to get data from an external API (exchange rates, weather, order information)
  • You need to send data to an external service (webhook, CRM, marketing platforms)
  • You need to synchronize data between ConnectiveOne and your system
  • You need to integrate scenarios with third parties

How it works:

  • You configure the send_request action in the scenario with URL, method, data, and headers
  • ConnectiveOne sends an HTTP request to the specified URL
  • Response is processed through response_mapping or saved in state
  • Data becomes available in the scenario through placeholders

Differences from send_me:

  • send_request does not automatically add chat_id and channel
  • send_me automatically adds chat_id and channel (ideal for webhook integrations)

Widget Data Exchange

What it is: Mechanism for passing parameters from a website to a scenario and controlling the widget through JavaScript API. Allows integrating the ConnectiveOne widget with your website for passing context and controlling behavior.

When to use:

  • You need to pass parameters from the website to the scenario (UTM tags, user ID, product data)
  • You need to control the widget programmatically (open/close chat, change title)
  • You need to pass events from the website to the scenario (button click, page navigation)
  • You need to integrate the widget with SPA applications

How it works:

  • You pass parameters through params_from_site when initializing the widget
  • Parameters are automatically added to each message and become available in the scenario through {{param_name}}
  • You use JavaScript API (kw_event) to control the widget from the website
  • Events from the website can be passed to the scenario through emitevent

Main capabilities:

  • Passing parameters through params_from_site
  • Controlling widget through kw_event('openchat'), kw_event('command'), kw_event('emitevent')
  • Reinitialization for SPA through kw_event('kwreinitwidget')
  • Changing parameters during operation through kw_event('kwsetparamsfromsite')

Combining Integration Types

You can combine different integration types for complex scenarios:

Example: CRM Integration

  1. Use API to get dialogue data
  2. Use call_node to send messages to clients about order status
  3. Use Webhooks to synchronize dialogue statuses
  4. Use Deeplink to create personalized links from advertising
  5. Use send_request to get order data from CRM in the scenario
  6. Use Widget Data Exchange to pass context from the website to the scenario
