Adding a Boundary Bot3 min read

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

About the Kore.ai Bot for Boundary

Boundary addresses two critical challenges faced by DevOps professionals: the need to immediately see and understand the impact of a rapidly changing application together with a significantly higher degree of visibility.

Integration Type	Web Service – Connect to this Bot using a web service integration where Kore.ai polls the service for updates based on a specified interval.
Category	Monitoring & Analytics – This Bot is available in the Kore.ai application in the Monitoring & Analytics category.

 

Configuring Boundary
