JSON API

The JSON API plugin enables you to integrate your backend into your chat bots on Smax bot.

It allows you to

• Generate dynamic content

• Get and set user attributes

• Redirect users to another block in the bot

• Create postbacks

You can use GET and POST requests - the max. timeout is always 10 seconds. There are four options to enter data that will be sent with your request:

1. URL — This field supports user attributes, they will be URL-encoded with your request

2. Full JSON profile (POST requests only) — This will send all the user attributes of the user to your backend

3. JSON Body (POST requests only) — This is a customizable field and will be validated as JSON.

4. URL Encoded (POST requests only) — The data will be encoded before sending your request.

In your responses, you can

• combine several messages in one answer by sending several dictionaries in the messages array.

• use any content type header.

• send an empty response to not show the user any dynamic content.
