SnatchBot Overview#

The SnatchBot API provides a programmatic window to SnatchBot's chatbot platform, allowing you to manage and interact with your bots outside of the SnatchBot interface. With this API, you can execute tasks like sending messages, retrieving chat history, and managing your bot's structure and behavior. When integrated into Pipedream workflows, the SnatchBot API shines in automating interactions, syncing chat data with other systems, and reacting to events with custom logic and third-party services.
