If you have a third-party bot and want to manage its deployment using Comm100, you can integrate it with Comm100 using Webhooks deploy it over Live Chat and social messaging channels.
Note:
- The Chatbot can be deployed in one channel only. The Chatbot that was bound with multiple channels previously will continue to work in the same way.
- To learn more about how to integrate Waston Assistant, see How to Integrate Watson Assistant with Comm100.
- After creating a Chatbot, you need to set up the Bot for the Channel it is applied to. To learn more about setting up the Chatbot in Live Chat and Ticketing & Messaging, see this article.

How Does the Third-party Chatbot Work?
Comm100 sends information for the following events via Webhooks:
- Chat joined
- Questions asked
- Intents clicked
- Location shared
- Form submitted
The third-party Chatbot then processes the data using its bot engine and sends a response to Comm100. An answer displays as a response to your visitors. The data format type of the request and response is JSON.
