Kore.ai provides integration for a built-in AppSignal Bot that you can use to display message notifications and execute tasks directly from the Kore.ai application. To use the AppSignal Bot, you just need to add the Bot to your Kore.ai account, and then configure the settings for the Bot, such as authentication to access AppSignal, and the notification messages that you want. This topic describes the AppSignal built-in Bot for Kore.ai. For more information about other Kore.ai Bots, see Adding Bots.

Configuring AppSignal

To configure an AppSignal webhook for Kore.ai, you must have an AppSignal account with administrator access as well as API access to configure a webhook. If you don’t, you’ll need to contact the AppSignal system administrator for your company.
To get started configuring the webhook in AppSignal, you’ll need two things:

  1. The Kore.ai webhook URL provided when you set up an alert in your Kore.ai account for each alert that you want to enable in AppSignal.
  2. A valid Username and Password for an account with AppSignal API access.
  3. A configured app running in AppSignal.

The webhook URL is account-specific and cannot be transferred to any other account. This means that if you configure an AppSignal webhook using a test account, you will have to recreate the alert and get a new webhook URL to configure in AppSignal. The following URL is an example webhook URL.
https://app.kore.com/hooks/c6089802f36250c179dcb1aa29afd24c

Configuring Webhook

This procedure describes the steps in AppSignal to configure a webhook using a Kore.ai webhook URL endpoint.

  2. On the left navigation menu, in the App Settings section, click Integrations.
  3. In the App-wide notification integrations section, in the Webhook row, clickconfigure.
  4. In the Configure this integration section, in the Webhook URL field, enter the Kore.ai webhook URL for the alert.
