Kore.ai provides integration for a built-in Pivotal Tracker Bot that you can use to display message notifications and execute tasks directly from the Kore.ai application. To use the Pivotal Tracker 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 Pivotal Tracker, and the notification messages that you want. This topic describes the Pivotal Tracker built-in Bot for Kore.ai. For more information about other Kore.ai Bots, see Adding Bots.

Category | Project Management – This Bot is available in the Kore.ai application in the Project Management category. |
Configuring Pivotal Tracker
To configure a Pivotal Tracker webhook for Kore.ai, you must have a Pivotal Tracker account with administrator access as well as API access to configure a webhook. If you don’t, you’ll need to contact the Pivotal Tracker system administrator for your company. For more information, see the Getting Started in the Pivotal Tracker documentation.
To get started configuring the webhook in Pivotal Tracker, you’ll need two things:
- 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 Pivotal Tracker.
- A valid Username and Password for an account with Pivotal Tracker API access.
The webhook URL is account-specific and cannot be transferred to any other account. This means that if you configure a Pivotal Tracker webhook using a test account, you will have to recreate the alert and get a new webhook URL to configure in Pivotal Tracker. The following URL is an example webhook URL.
https://company.kore.com/hooks/c6089802f36250c179dcb1aa29afd24c
Configuring Webhook
This procedure describes the steps in Pivotal Tracker to configure a webhook using a Kore.ai webhook URL endpoint.
- Log on to Pivotal Tracker, and then on the Projects page, click the Settings icon for the project that you want to add a webhook to. The Project page is displayed.
- On the Projects page top menu bar, click Integrations. The Integration page is displayed.
- In the Activity Web Hook section, enter the Kore.ai webhook URL for the alert, and then click Add.
For more information, see Activity Webhook in the Pivotal Tracker documentation.
Note: By default, all events for this Bot generate Kore.ai alert messages. To reduce the number of notifications, this Bot may have filters that can be defined when you set up the alert in your Kore.ai account.
After you are connected, you can perform tasks for Pivotal Tracker directly from the Kore.ai application and setup message notifications to get notified in the Kore.ai application when an event occurs in Pivotal Tracker.
