Steps

  1. 1Open Settings → Chat channels and find Messaging apps. Select Connect next to the app.

  3. 3Select Save & connect. For Meta apps, copy the callback URL and verify token shown in the dialog into Meta App Dashboard → Webhooks, and subscribe to the messages field (plus deliveries and reads for Messenger).
  4. 4Telegram: paste the bot token from @BotFather. LINE: paste the channel secret and channel access token. The webhook is registered for you.
  5. 5SMS: enter your Twilio Account SID, auth token and number, then paste the callback URL into Twilio Console → your number → A message comes in.

Good to know

  • Tokens and secrets are encrypted and never shown again. Leave a field blank to keep the saved value.
  • Every webhook is checked against the app's signature or secret; messages delivered twice are only stored once.
  • In messaging apps the customer replies AGENT to reach a person, and after the chat closes they rate it by replying with a number.
