Can I trigger a bot chat through code? 

 

Thank you!

Hey @florencia s​, can you tell me a little more about your use case here? While it's not possible to trigger a bot entirely programatically, there may be other solutions available to you here.


We need this too. @eric f11​ are there plans for implementing this in Intercom mobile SDKs?


Hey @user1122​, can you tell me more about your use case for triggering a Custom Bot programatically?


 

Hi @eric f11​ , thanks for the quick response.

 

We have the following screen in our app for long-term apartment rent:

@eric f11​ We need a similar sort of solution too. Please let us know if this is possible.


Hey @arjun​ @user1122​ @florencia s​, currently it's only possible to launch a Custom Bot from a button within a website or web app (guide here). This option is not available within a mobile app, nor are there any workarounds on offer.
