How does the data exchange with Make work?

The Botnation webhook allows you to import data via services such as Zapier or Make

Let’s say you want to know the weather in Nantes and display it dynamically – in real time – in your chatbot.

It is necessary to use an external weather service and to provide via this service or an intermediate script a response webhook to Botnation.

For example via Make (competitor of Zapier) it is now a few minutes.

This will be done according to this logic: Botnation -> webhook -> Make -> Make -> Webhook response to Botnation

This last element must be a“Webhook Response” (not incoming webhook) because it must be able to send content in response.

Here is an example of a response configuration that conforms to our API:

On the webhook of answer on Integromat it will be necessary to indicate JSON in Botnation format. Don’t forget to indicate a “Status 200” in the header to indicate that the answer is correct and should be interpreted.

Here is a text version that you can copy and paste.

{
        "botnation": "v1",
        "reply": [{
                        "type": "text",
                        "value": "Hello World!"
                },
{
"type": "text",
"value": "À Nantes : {{now}}"
},
{
"type": "text",
"value": "Température: {{3.temperature}} °"
},
{
"type": "image",
"value": "{{3.icon}}"
}
       ]
}

This will then display the current weather in Nantes, plus an image, to the user directly in your chatbot. You can get inspiration for many other modules, including a connection to Hubspot another external CRM.
