The Bot Platform connector will let you use data from your Power Automate flows to send messages to users in the bot, create new attributes and set values for existing attributes. The connector leverages our API to perform all these actions, without you having to setup API calls manually, instead just use the connector to perform API actions faster.

Prerequisites

You will need an account at The Bot Platform

How to get credentials

After logging in to The Bot Platform CMS, go to the bot you want to connect. Click on 'API Access' in the sidebar menu and create a new integration app. You will be provided with a client ID and secret key, enter this information in Power Automate where you are using your connector to authenticate the bot with Power Automate.

Get started with your connector

After logging into your account, go to the bot you want to integrate and click on 'API Access' to obtain your client ID and Secret key. After obtaining this information, create a new Power Automate Flow, you will be prompted to enter the client ID and secret key there. After entering this information, a pop up will appear asking for permission to access the bot. Hit 'Allow' and you are all set!

Known Issues & Limitations

  • Currently users can only be identified via email address to be able to communicate information back to the bot.
  • You cannot send an image url using the simple text message operation.

Common errors and remedies

For bots installed on Microsoft Teams, you cannot send a message to a user who has not previously interacted with the bot. The workaround would be to send a broadcast to the user from within the platform first before using the connector to send a message.
