To start your Botpress integration, you need to have your own instance up and running. There are three ways of doing that:
Download and install an Open Source instance of Botpress. You will find all the information needed to have an online instance ready to go on the website. If you don't know how to use docker composer, we will provide a step-by-step guide soon.
Go with the paid version of Botpress – fees are project- and user-based. In that case, hosting will be provided by Botpress.
Go with Virbe – we can set it all up for you! Just contact us and let us know what your needs are! We will give you custom pricing for that.
Once you have a Botpress instance up and running, in order to make it work with Virbe payload, you need to download a plugin file and import it into the Botpress admin panel as a new module.
Now, you're ready to create your first chatbot. You can either create a new chatbot from scratch or import an existing project.
Once you have your bot ready for "data and text input" we suggest you see our last webinar where one of our experts gives an excessive tour through the Botpress dashboard.
