1. Creating a chatbot

Log in to the Viber admin panel using the phone number connected to the Viber application and click Create bot Account:

  • Note: If you lose access to the phone number you use to create your bot, you will permanently lose access to manage your bot through the Viber app and admin panel, with no possibility of recovery unless other administrators have been added to the bot.

Fill in all the following forms:

1. Bot’s image in a 1:1 ratio (square)

2. Write the name of the bot

3. The bot URL (bot link) automatically becomes identical to the name, but it can be changed

4. Bot category (you cannot create a category yourself)

5. A subcategory that more precisely defines the purpose of the bot

6. The language of the bot

7. Description of the bot

8. A link to your site, contact, or other primary resource

9. E-mail
