Hello I'd like to ask if we can use botpress to act as an intermediate layer between our custom made bot, powered by openai, it has its own api. We have a web app working and we want to integrate it with social platforms like Instagram. We want the user experience to remain the same with Messenger, just like in our web app, ideally we would be integrating it with WhatsApp and other platforms too. But we want to test the waters or even its possibility.

Hey @limited-forest-26830 if Botpress is the 1st layer and you can converse with your custom bot usign an API yes no problem

is there a documentation for that

Hi @limited-forest-26830 , Can you give me more information about why do you want to use Botpress?

To integrate our bot with social media platforms

so you want the botpress to act like twilio, vonage, zapier etc.?

we use botpress for our other smaller projects, the closest thing I could describe botpress for this project is yes its like a proxy but only because this project was too large and complex that we needed a custom made bot. We tried integrating it with manychat but on my research botpress fits the description of what we want with social media integration in terms of ease of use.

What I would try first is to add a hook in botpress that calls your custom bot on every user interaction

Okay thanks we'll try this

Hi, how is it going? did it work?
