These processes are work starting points of each bot: a messenger Webhook connects to the same-messenger-name Receiver process during Communications Orchestrator creation.

The Receiver processes do the following:

  • Receive events (messages and files sent, buttons clicked, links followed, etc.) from users.
  • Convert received data to the unified standard data structure:
    • channel - the message channel. Available options: telegram, facebook, viber,abc.
    • chat_id - identifier of a chat, user, etc.
    • event - event type.
    • message - message object.
  • Forward the converted data to the Main process.
Note

If you want to attach another bot to an existing project in Communications Orchestrator, you need to connect a webhook of this bot to the corresponding Receiver process manually:

  1. Click the corresponding {{Messenger Name}} Receiver process and then click View details.
