Creating a Agent Chatbot using Sangoma Digital Interactions API (Our Widget)
scope: cx.digital-interactions
In this section, we will build a chatbot application using a inbox web widget that starts a conversation on your front panel. We will use the Sangoma Digital Interactions API to handle the backend logic for this chatbot.
1. Create the agent bot
To receive events from Sangoma CX, you need to set up a agent bot. This requires a publicly accessible FQDN. For development purposes, you can use a tool like ngrok. We will use the outgoing_url to send webhook events, so certify that this is public accessible.
API Request

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--data '{
"tenant_domain": "acme.cx.sangoma.com",
"outgoing_url": "<your webhook fqdn>",
"name": "My first bot"
}' |
2. Choosing an Inbox
You can choose which inbox your chatbot is attached to. In order to list the inboxes you can use the following request.
