Install a Plugin

Note

If you are installing one of our example plugins, first make sure to clean completely your bots instance from the previous configuration: bots-monitor: SysTasks->Configuration->Bulk delete, select all options and click Bulk delete.

• Download the selected plugin from Bots Plugins package registry to your computer.

• Go to bots-monitor: SysTasks->Plugins->Read plugin.

• Select the plugin file saved in your computer.

• Click Read.

Bots will now report that is has read the plugin correctly or will report an error.

After the installation go to bots-monitor: Configuration->Routes and activate the routes, as they will be disabled after installation.

Warnings during plugin installation:

• Some files were overwritten by the plugin (or skipped). Usually these can be ignored.

• Plugins created with an older version of Bots: such a plugin can be read and even could work correctly, but it should be compatible with Python 3. In case of an errors you’ll need to unzip the plugin, analyze and adapt the code to Python 3 and zip it back.
