Integrations

The Integrations section is where you connect your bot to the outside world. This is where you link it to your AI Assistant "brain" and deploy it across various channels so your users can interact with it.

Connecting Your Bot to the Gen AI Assistant

Before you can deploy your bot, you must connect it to the Generative AI Assistant you have configured. This step gives your bot its intelligence.

From the main menu on the left, navigate to Integrations.
In the top-right corner, use the search bar to find and select the specific bot you want to configure. This is a crucial step if you manage multiple bots.
In the Assistants category, locate the Smartly.AI card and click Connect. A "Connected" status will confirm that your bot is now powered by your Gen AI Assistant.

Deploying Your Assistant to a Channe

Once your bot is connected to the AI Assistant, you can make it available to your users on one or more channels. The platform supports a wide range of integrations, including:

Instant Messaging: Webchat, Messenger, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Teams, etc.
Phone: Voice IP, WhatsApp Callbot, Voice Chat.
Live Chat: Integrations with platforms like Crisp and Live Chat.
Dev tools: Webhooks for custom integrations.
