You can use your own third-party bot source in Architect message flows. Configure your bot source from the Genesys Cloud admin menu. Then, use the Architect Call Bot Connector action to integrate the messaging flow with any bot source for processing before it returns intents and slots to Architect.

Notes:

When you use this action, you provide a bot list. Architect uses this list to populate fields such as bot name, version, intents, and session variables, and then provides the information from the call to the customer’s bot for processing.

  1. Click Admin.
  2. Under Integrations, click Integrations.
  3. Click Integrations.
  4. Search for or navigate to the Genesys Bot Connector tile. 
  5. Click Install. The integration opens to the Details tab.
  6. (Optional) Change the integration name and add notes about the integration.
    Note: If you change the integration name, be sure to use unique names to differentiate the integrations and the associated actions in the Genesys Cloud applications that reference them.
