Connect BotStar so your agent can check chats and pass callers to your bot.

BotStar builds chatbots for Messenger and websites. Connect your BotStar account and your agent can work with it during a call. It can look up your BotStar application details, open or close the live chat window for a caller, and update a caller's profile in an active conversation. Set it up from the AgentCalls dashboard, and your agent handles the call while your bot keeps running on your site and Messenger.

What your agent can do with Botstar

  • Look up your BotStar application ID when a caller needs a chat window set up
  • Open or close the live chat window on your website while a caller is on the phone
  • Update a caller's name, email or other profile details in an active chat session
  • Read back a value a caller entered in your BotStar webview form during a booking

Botstar exposes 31 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Example calls

Caller asks for live chat

  1. Caller

    I'm on your website now but I can't see the chat box. Can you open it for me?

  2. Agent

    Sure, I'll open the chat window for you now. Give me a moment.

  3. Agent

    It should be open on your screen. Let me know if you still see the chat box closed.

  4. Caller

    Yes, I see it now. Thanks.

Update contact details during a chat

  1. Caller

    I'm chatting with your team, but my email on file is old. It's now dana.reyes@brightlaw.com.

  2. Agent

    Got it, Dana. I'll update your email on this chat session so the team can reach you there.

  3. Agent

    Done. Your email is updated for this conversation. Is there anything else you want changed?

Follow-up after a chat closed

  1. Agent

    Hi, this is Sam from Harbor Dental calling about your chat from yesterday with our bot.

  2. Caller

    Oh, yes. I closed it before I finished booking.

  3. Agent

    No problem. Would you like me to reopen the chat so you can pick up where you left off, or should I book the cleaning for you by phone?

  4. Caller

    Book it by phone. Thursday at ten would be great.

  5. Agent

    Thursday at 10:00 a.m. is booked. You'll get a confirmation shortly.
