Botstar Overview#

Botstar API lets you extend the capabilities of Botstar's chatbot platform. It empowers you to programmatically manage and interact with your chatbots, access chat and user data, and integrate with external services. With Pipedream, you can leverage these API functions to automate workflows between Botstar and other apps, trigger actions based on chat events, or synchronize chatbot data with CRM platforms, databases, or marketing tools.
