02/26/2024, 1:48 PM#1116045108614287380 I want to use the botpress api to interact with my chatbot (e.g. send and receive messages from the bot) do I make the: "Create Conversation" api endpoint first and then the: "Get or Create Message" api endpoint??

02/26/2024, 2:00 PMHey @adamant-glass-32780, it sounds like you're trying to talk to your bot via API? If so, that feature is still on the way. The endpoints for get/create messge are used for integrations and agents to talk to external services, not to end users.

02/26/2024, 2:04 PM@acceptable-kangaroo-64719 Thanks for the quick response, is there a knowledge base api? So that I can send a question via api and then get an answer response from the knowledge base of my chatbot?

02/26/2024, 2:05 PM😅 not yet, that is also on the way.

02/26/2024, 2:05 PMif you are comfortable with APIs and servers, the workaround now is to set up your own webhook endpoint, and have Botpress POST its messages to that webhook using an execute code card

02/26/2024, 2:06 PMbut that is a very technical workaround and I don't suggest it

02/26/2024, 2:06 PMthe APIs are pretty far along in development and I expect an announcement in the next 2-4 weeks

02/26/2024, 2:06 PM@acceptable-kangaroo-64719 Oh Ok, how can I get notified when it comes out? Via the YouTube channel perhaps?
