Is there a method to check prices with item numbers?

Question

Hey folksI want to create a bot where the user can enter an item number and the bot replies with the right price. I have the data in an excel at the moment and it dont want to do it manually (ca. 800 items). Any ideas? Many thanks in advance and a wonderful day!diego

@diego m​, 1. For user experience, it's not good to ask bot price for different products (800).2. Updating prices, descriptions, adding a product with this way is not easy and requires a lot of time : /If you want to do this, you need to build a solution via API, Get new conversations and reply to them via API.(It requires a lot of development and management).My advice building a simple search box and integrate it with google spreadsheets will be much easy to develop and manage.

Hi @diego m​, I don't think that bot is a good choice for this :/ How about just build a search box on your website?
