BotAPI

BotAPI

Bot API is built around REST. You can call our APIs through standard HTTP request with your api key placed in the query parameter. In turn, WOZTELL will return JSON-encoded response, with corresponding data that can determine wether related operations are completed.

Before getting started, you can first download the BotAPI Postman Collection and Environment in JSON format.

If your browser cannot download the JSON files after clicking the URL...
Please right click and "Inspect" to open the developer tools. Select "Source" and right click to download the source file by "Save as..."

Authentication

accessToken

The access token should be placed as a query parameter as accessToken in the request. The access token can be generated following this guide.

Each API may have different scope, picking any one scope is enough for calling the API.

Security Scheme TypeQuery parameter name
API KeyaccessToken
tip

Alternatively, the Access Token can also be put in the authorization header as Bearer Token.

Redirect Member to Node

Redirecting a member to a specific node in tree and executing all or partial components of the node. This is useful for performing complex operations on a member and keeping all the bot logic in the tree instead of hard-coding in an api.

If memberId is not provided, the system would search for a member with the provided recipientId.

Meta object

To use the API passed meta object in transform response or actions of targeted node, use the following code to access your meta.

this.agendaMeta
Copy

Example:

To access in transform response or actions
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
// ...
const name = this.agendaMeta.name // "Sanuker"
const orderId = this.agendaMeta.orderId // "5ecf6be76fcfda6b139d802c"
// ...
})
Copy
