Adding a Trello Bot
Kore.ai provides integration for a built-in Trello 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 Trello Bot, you just need to add the Bot to your channel and then configure the settings for the Bot, such as authentication to access Trello and the notification messages that you want.
