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

Configuring SupportBee

To configure a SupportBee webhook for Kore.ai, you must have a SupportBee account with administrator access as well as API access to configure a webhook. If you don’t, you’ll need to contact the SupportBee system administrator for your company. For more information, see the Getting Started in the SupportBee documentation.
To get started configuring the webhook in SupportBee, 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 SupportBee.
  2. A valid Username and Password for an account with SupportBee API access.

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