Setting Up a New Bot

To begin utilizing the starter kit, you’ll need to obtain a bot ID. You can create a chatbot either manually or via API.

Creating a Bot Using the SwiftChat API

You can employ any tool or platform to interact with the SwiftChat APIs. In this instance, we’ll demonstrate using curl.

Steps

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt. If you don’t have curl installed, you can install it using npm by running the npm install -g curl command in your terminal

  2. Create a new POST request using curl

  3. Use the following API endpoint:https://v1-api.swiftchat.ai/api/bots

  4. Include your API key in the header that you obtained during Obtaining API Key

  5. In the body, include details such as bot-name, mobile-number, and bot-category

  6. Add the header and the body to your curl request:

    curl --location 'https://v1-api.swiftchat.ai/api/bots' \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
 --data '{
     "mobile": "+91XXXXXXXXXX",
     "configuration": {
     "name": "Test"
     "category":"Education"
    }
}'

  7. On successfully creating bot you will receive a message indicating created.

  8. After creating bot, use the **varify API** to generate the bot ID.

Creating a Bot Using the SwiftChat Dashboard

You can also create bot using your SwiftChat Merchant Dashboard

Steps:

  1. Login to your SwiftChat Merchant Dashboard.

Tip

  • Create your merchant account using this Post API

  • Complete business KYC and email varification

  1. Click on Add New Bot button.

Deployment Structure

  1. Clicking Add New Bot button will redirect you to a page where you can input the bot details, including the phone number, bot name, and bot type.Enter these details and proceed for verification. Once verification is completed, the bot will be created and activated.

Deployment Structure

  1. Copy the bot link and save it for future reference. The link should resemble this format:

    https://cgweb.page.link/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.convegenius.ai%3FbotId%3D0216260609726241&apn=ai.convegenius.app

    • In the link, the bot ID is structured as botId%3D0216260609726241, where the actual ID follows the “3D” prefix. So here the ID is 0216260609726241.
