Connecting The Bot Platform to Make (formerly Integromat)

Prerequisites

Step 1: Obtain Client ID and Client Secret from The Bot Platform

To connect your bot to Make, we will need API credentials from The Bot Platform which will be inserted in Make to authorize the connection.

To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Login to https://app.thebotplatform.com and navigate to the bot you would like to integrate
    On the left-hand pane, scroll down and look for 'API Access' under Integrations.

  • Send a free text message
  • Send an image message

Once you select a module, click on 'Add' under the connection settings. A new pop-up should appear asking you to enter your client ID and secret key we obtained in the previous step.

This integration works on a per-bot basis. You will have to repeat these steps for each bot you would like to Integrate for Make.
