Plugins

A plugin is a file with predefined configuration for bots. It includes routes, channels, grammars, mappings, input files, etc.

Danger

Plugins contain source code. This poses a potential security risk. Use plugins only from trusted sources.

• Plugins are installed via bots-monitor: SysTasks->Plugins->Read plugin.

• The routes loaded from a plugin are disabled by default for safety reasons. Before running them you’ll have to activate them first.

• There is a lot of example plugins on our Bots Plugins repository on GitLab. See example bots plugins documentation to find the most useful example for your case.

What is the plugin good for?

• An easy way to distribute and share EDI configurations for bots.

• Learn from existing configurations.

• Backup your full configuration.

• Share your configuration with others (it would be nice if you could share your configuration; others can use it and learn from what you have done).

• Do another instance of bots with the same configuration.

• Transfer your environment from test to production.
