Kore.ai provides integration for a built-in Honeybadger Bot that you can use to display message notifications and execute tasks directly from your messaging channel such as Kore.ai Messenger. To use the Honeybadger Bot, you just need to add the Bot to your channel, and then configure the settings for the Bot, such as authentication to access Honeybadger, and the notification messages that you want. For more information about other Kore.ai Bots, see Adding Bots.

Configuring Honeybadger
To configure a Honeybadger webhook for Kore.ai, you must have a Honeybadger account with administrator access as well as API access to configure a webhook. If you don’t, you’ll need to contact the Honeybadger system administrator for your company. For more information, see the Account Management in the Honeybadger documentation.
To get started configuring the webhook in Honeybadger, you’ll need two things:
- The Kore.ai webhook URL provided when you set up an alert in your channel for each alert that you want to enable in Honeybadger.
- A valid Username and Password for an account with Honeybadger API access.
The webhook URL is account-specific and cannot be transferred to any other account. This means that if you configure a Honeybadger webhook using a test account, you will have to recreate the alert and get a new webhook URL to configure in Honeybadger. The following URL is an example webhook URL.
https://company.kore.com/hooks/c6089802f36250c179dcb1aa29afd24c
