Received messages with text type are transferred to Main logic.

Main logic

Manages the logic of message sending.

Requests the weather, sends received air temperature or message about undefined city.

Send message

By Viber Public Account token recevies account details (name and link for the avatar) for message sending.

Sends messages, distributes them by sending statuses.

Successful requests are transferred to Message statuses after receiving message end status.

Message statuses

"Sent", "Delivered", "Seen", "Not delivered, 14 days", "Not seen, 14 days", "failed - not delivered by Viber".

Welcome message

If necessary, set the welcome message for your Public Account:

  • After selecting Viber press the "Set Welcome message" button
  • choose the type of welcome message - text or a picture with text
  • fill out required fileds

viber_welcome_msg

Welcome message is sent as a reply to the received webhook which contains "event": "conversation_started".

This event indicates that user came to the chat with your Public Account for the first time (it means, there's no history) or when the chat was opened via deep link.

"conversation_started" is not considered a subscription and does not allow the Public Account to send messages to users.

But it allows you to send one greeting.

Integration with OpenWeatherMap

For user's comfort in Main logic there was a test key added for API OpenWeatherMap.

To get your OpenWeatherMap API access key, go to link and register.
