07/21/2023, 3:15 PMHey @wide-animal-67795 can you share how you're using the api ?
Are you using straight up an http request throught a http client or through code .
Can you also share a little more context, are you developing an integration ?
Let me know and I can help you

07/21/2023, 3:33 PMThe api is designed to prevent sending an incoming message via API to a bot (This is a feature to prevent infinite loop inside a bot). Only integrations are allowed to send messages to bots. If you are interested, you can look into how to make an integration. Here's the documentation https://botpress.com/docs/integration/.
If you want to talk with your bot directly using a realtime API this is not available yet but we are working on documenting and open sourcing the client we are using for the Webchat.
I hope this helps! 🚀

07/24/2023, 10:15 PMYou should expect the Webchat's API to be available publicly by the end of august. I'll take a note to add you to the Beta if we do one for this API to give you early access.

07/25/2023, 9:08 AM@colossal-egg-20510 is there any workaround to be able to send message to bot ?

07/25/2023, 6:03 PMsorry to interrupt here 😛
But there would be a workaround using triggers.
You could in theory (I haven't tried this yet) send a webchat event on the host page, and catch that in a workflow using a trigger could you ?
