Connection of Viber Bot
Viber Bot is a robotic Viber program designed to automate user interactions with businesses. This is the only way to process Viber user inquiries for most companies.
Integration with Viber Bot allows you to record all requests from customers and receive messages from Viber users directly to the Umnico app. You won’t get tangled in messages and customer inquiries anymore, all dialogs will be fully available in Umnico.
