Hi, I want to integrate a botpress bot (studio), to my fronted. I have some questions: 1. I guess if a new user talk to the bot, I should use the create conversation method, right? 2. what must be the name of the integration? 3, what must be the channel? I'm trying to make a POST to "/v1/chat/conversations" , with this data:

const data = {
        channel: 'channel',  // Replace with your actual channel
        tags: {},  // Replace with your actual tags,
        integrationName: "webhook"
    };

but got

"request/body must have required property 'channel', request/body must have required property 'tags'"

In the workspace I have added the webhook integration, but when I list the integrations I get

{ integrations: [], meta: {} }

Looking forward for help, thanks.

Hey @white-oxygen-62531, v1 of the API is made for data operations and not really for conversations. There's no conversationId tying messages together when they come in by API, which is fine if your bot doesn't need to answer follow up questions or remember past converasations. The full API channel for bot converations is scheduled to come out around the end of this month, and that will be a much better tool for your use case

To add more context the API is designed for managing conversations through integrations, rather than having a direct communication with a bot and expecting an immediate response. We are currently developing an integration that will establish a communication channel with the bot directly. This integration is scheduled for release at the end of this month. On the other-hand, you could build your own private integration with your system which is the intended way of working with the api. Take a look at the integration

Does it mean, it will be easier to integrate with botpress with our chatui custom? Cuz i had hard time to get user id i need to install sdk etc 😂 🥹

The new integration will make your life a thousand times easier if all you want is an API to send and receive messages to a bot and make your own UI.

@colossal-egg-20510 this will be gamechanger 🥹🥹🥹 cant wait for it!!

Hello, thank for the responses. The new API channel for bot conversation is released?, or what is the stage? I would like to test that 😄 thanks. @acceptable-kangaroo-64719 @colossal-egg-20510

I am eagerly waiting for the release of the integrate API. Can you please provide any updates on when the integrate API will be available? It is a crucial part of my project and having a tentative release date will really help me in planning the project timeline accordingly.🥲

API channel is still in the works, not yet released. We are aiming for it to be released around end of the month / early October

Very good, worth waiting for. I hope we can release it on time

Hi, but was you able to achieve that? If yes can you give me tips in how to make it?,

Lost motivation for botpress 😔

I reached out on September 10th regarding the progress of the integrate API. I was informed that the release was targeted for the end of September or early October. As it's now October 12th and the API has not been released yet, I'd like to kindly request an update on its status. This API is pivotal for my project, and any clarity on its release date would greatly assist in my project planning. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Thank you.
