Bot Assistant
Lansenger bots come in two types: Webhook Bots and Smart Bots, used for in-group message pushing and intelligent interactions.
Webhook Bots
Characteristics
- Created by the group owner or deputy owner within the client
- A webhook URL is generated upon creation
- Push messages to the group via this URL
- Can only push messages to the group, cannot receive group messages
- Belongs to and can only belong to the group that created the bot
Creation Steps
- Find the bot management entry in group chat settings
- Create a webhook bot
- Set at least one security setting (for server-side security verification)
- Get the webhook URL
- Push messages to the group from the bot server via this URL
Smart Bots
Characteristics
- Create an app in the Developer Center, then enable the smart bot capability for the app
- Fill in the callback URL and subscribe to direct message / group message reply events
- When a user sends a direct message to the bot or @mentions the bot in a group, Lansenger sends the message callback to the bot service
- The bot service responds to the user or group based on its own developed model
Usage
- Smart bots appear in “Contacts -> Contacts -> Smart Bots” list
- View bot details or interact with the bot
- @mention the bot in a group to trigger smart replies
Smart bot feature is enabled by default.
