What are Chat Bots & What can you build with them?

In this guide we will learn how can you create Chat Bots in DeadSimpleChat and what can you do with them.

What are Chat Bots?​

DeadSimpleChat offers a robust bot integration feature that enhances the chat experience by automating interactions and facilitating various tasks within the chat room. With the capability to trigger bots via specific actions or mentions, DeadSimpleChat bots are designed to be interactive, responsive, and customizable.

Triggering Mechanisms​

  • Mention-Based Trigger: Activate your bot by simply mentioning its name in the chat room.
  • New Message Trigger: Set your bot to respond whenever a new message is sent in the chat.

Webhook Notifications​

When a bot is triggered, DeadSimpleChat sends a webhook to a specified URL, allowing for real-time communication and seamless interaction between the chat room and your backend.

Upon receiving the webhook you can use the BOT API to send reply to the message that triggered the bot.

Bot API​

The DeadSimpleChat Bot API provides the flexibility to send messages into the chat room directly from your bot. Messages can include text, images, or even action buttons for an interactive experience.

Action Buttons​

Enhance bot messages with actionable buttons that users can press. When an action button is pressed, a webhook is triggered, notifying which button was pressed and by whom, allowing for sophisticated, user-specific actions and workflows.
