Getting Started

Welcome to use Botimize, the conversation analytics platform for bot builders.

In here, we are giving an example of building a botimize integrated messenger bot, written in nodeJS.

We also provide the same example for other platforms/languages, check out our sample bot list.

Four Steps

To get started, just follow four steps:

1. Create an analytics project on Botimize platform

2. Obtain the API key

3. Integrate our SDK (or use RESTful API) to track your chatbot

Initialization

const botimize = require('botimize')('<YOUR-BOTIMIZE-API-KEY>', 'facebook');

Log Incoming

app.post('/webhook', function (req, res)) {
  botimize.logIncoming(req.body);
  ...
}

Log Outgoing

let options = {
  uri: 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages',
  qs: { access_token: accessToken },
  method: 'POST',
  json: true,
  body: messageBody,
};
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  botimize.logOutgoing(options, {parse: 'request'});
  ...
});

4. View analytics on our dashboard
