Intergrate MailChimp Within nandbox Messenger

From the settings menu, click ‘Bot Manager’.

Tap the ‘+’ icon to create a new bot.

Enter your bot title (up to 32 characters).

Choose your bot type:

• Business: If your bot is associated with or will be used by an organization or business.
• Individual: If  the bot will be used by an individual.

Then fill out the required information:

• Bot Description: A short text (up to 120 characters) that describes your bot. Users will see this text on your bot’s profile or when they join this bot. Also, when they share your bot with someone, this text is sent together with the link.
• Add an image.
• About: A short text (up to 512 characters) to describe what your bot can do and it’s usage. Users will see this text at the beginning of the conversation with the bot. 
• Add a unique username for the bot. We guard against other bots reserving your company name, unlike other companies. Your bot’s unique handle matches your web domain name; for example, if your business domain is xyz.com, your bot handle will be ‘xyz.

Then, click ‘BOOK’.

Now you can configure your bot’s properties:

• Inline: Turn the toggle on for inline mode.
• Private: Which means your bot won’t appear in the search index. The administrator must send the bot link to users manually so they can join the bot.

• Filters: Select which messages your bot will receive when added to a group. Choose ‘Post, ‘Reply’ or ‘All’.
