Quick Start

Configure the main settings:

1. Ask your system administrator to enable the bot.connect mode in the edna database settings.
   
   Script:
   
   INSERT INTO settings (id, key, value) VALUES (nextval('settings_id_seq'), 'bot.connect.enabled', 'true');
2. Old mode must be disabled as follows:
   
   Script:
   
   UPDATE settings SET VALUE = 'false' WHERE key='external-bot.enabled'
3. Get the chatbot web service URL that handles client messages and init-chat requests.
4. Ask the admin to:
   • Create a chatbot in the admin WP (item “Chatbot”)
   • Set the chatbot to the READY mode
   • Add the chatbot to routing as the first step
   • Create an authorization token for the bot
5. Provide the authorization token to the bot server.
6. For testing purposes, send the first message as a client. The chatbot server has to get the MESSAGE webhook.
7. Send a reply to the message, see the Customize clientData in Webhook Content article.
