Add Viber channel in Creatio

1. Now you need to go to the “Beesender chat configuration" in the system designer

2. In the “Channels” tab click on the “+” button in the “Channels” details.

3. A list of all possible channels will appear. You need to select “Viber” channel.

4. Next, a window will open, in which there are 4 fields that should be filled in:

Channel name

The easiest way to name a channel according to its type (for example, "Telegram" or "Viber", if there are several channels with the same type, you can add a sequence number to each of them). You can give arbitrary names to channels.

Token

The value that was previously received from Viber.

Channel weight

Unit of chat weight. This parameter is required to adjust the load on the agent.

Channel link

In the Channel Link field, you can insert a link to the added channel, and it will be displayed in the channel card, allowing for quick access to the added channel. This field is not required.

For example:

  • Viber channel has a weight of 2, Telegram channel - 1 and Skype channel - 3.

  • Agent has a weight of 5.

Thus, Agent can cope with two channels:


  • Viber and Skype (2+3)=5


  • or with Telegram and Skype (1+3)=4 (<5)


  • or with Viber and Telegram (2+1)=3 (<5)
• but not with all of them at the same time 2+1+3=6 (>5)

 

5. Click on the "Add" button

This channel will appear in the channel list. At this channel setup is almost complete.

You just have to remember to add this channel to the agent who will work with it (Multiple agents can work with the same channel).

 

There are two options for adding a new channel to the Agent's list of channels:

  1. Add the Agents on the Channels' card page.

  2. Go to the "Agents" tab, select the Agent or Chatbot, and click on the "Edit" button in the menu. Alternatively, you can double-click on the line with the Agent's name.

Next, on the page that opens, add a new channel to the list of Agent channels.

This completes the Viber configuration.

To create a link to a channel, copy the Uri of the channel you created and paste it in place of the following link instead of Uri:

viber://pa?chatURI=uri

How to add the button “Share number”

The process of requesting a user's Viber phone number without manual input:

This option is already available in the out-of-the-box version of Beesender. To implement it, you need to specify a parameter in the message element with buttons at the relevant stage of the chatbot process. This parameter will be responsible for this option.

Parameter: [*NUM*]

Button Formula:

[*NUM*]Button Text

Example: [*NUM*]Share number

After this setup, the chatbot will offer a button. When the user clicks on it, they will be prompted to send their phone number.
