Step 3: Placing the URI (Read: Not URL)

1. Login to the partner portal.

2. Select the bot account.

3. Copy the URI and place it at the end of the following link.

Link

http://live-v3-api.getalice.ai/viber/redirect?viber_url=viber://pa?chatURI=<your URI>

Example

If your URI is "SampleViber", our link would look like this:

http://live-v3-api.getalice.ai/viber/redirect?viber_url=viber://pa?chatURI=SampleViber

You can now use any link shortener to trim the link and allow your users reach out to you using the link.

You will be asked to provide a URI while creating your bot account. The URI is used for creating a deep link or to share the bot with potential new users.

Click on the triple dot (...) icon on each channel to edit channel settings, disconnect or delete your channel.
