External Integrations
Connect Answers to external platforms that you have installed from the Infobip marketplace. During an end user's conversation with your chatbot, they can connect to these platforms and perform tasks such as purchasing products.
Use Answers blocks to connect directly to the platforms, without using any other extensions. You can acquire or write data to these platforms from within Answers.
You can use any channel that Answers supports.
Available Integrations
You can connect Answers to the following applications:
- Adobe Commerce: Enable end users to buy products and services from your Adobe Commerce platform through your chatbot. You can do the following through the chatbot:
- Share order information and enable end users to track orders.
- Enable end users to check the availability of products.
- Use end user data from Adobe Commerce to personalize the interaction.
- Use the information that you obtain from end users to add or update their profile in Adobe Commerce.
- BigCommerce platform: Use your chatbots to automate actions regarding orders, products, and customers. Example: End users can search for products, add items to cart, create and find orders, get billing information, and select shipping options through the chatbot.
- VTEX platform: Use your chatbots to automate actions regarding orders, products, and customers. Example: End users can search for products and orders through the chatbot.
You can also integrate Chatbot tools with your chatbot to do the following:
- Calculate distance: Use the Geolocation Distance Calculator function to get the distance between 2 coordinates. Example: Calculate the distance between your stores and the end user's location, and let them know the nearest store.
- Convert files to Base64 format: Many storage systems support only Base64 encoding. When end users send you media or image files in other formats, use the File to Base64 function to convert the file to Base64 format. Example: Images of the end user's ID for authentication.
