How to Configure a Bot?

Configuring a bot allows you to change parameters of a specific bot, such as connected communication channels, webhooks, languages, and other parameters.

When You'll Need This

  • You need to connect a new communication channel to the bot (Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp, etc.).
  • You need to configure webhooks for integration with external systems.
  • You need to add support for new languages for the bot.
  • You need to change other bot parameters.

What's Important to Know

  • Communication channels — different messengers and platforms through which the bot can communicate with clients.
  • Webhooks — URL addresses for receiving events from communication channels.
  • Languages — languages supported by the bot for multilingual communication.

Before You Start

  • You are logged in with administrator rights.
  • You have permission to edit bots (canSave).
  • You have a bot that needs to be configured.
