## Connect Your Viber Bot Account

### Step 1: Create a Viber Bot Account

2. Once you have logged in, click on **Create Bot Account**, and fill up the necessary details.

4. Add a name for your channel e.g., MyAlice Viber.
5. Paste your Viber token (see [step 1](#step-1-create-a-viber-bot-account)) in the **Primary Token** field.
6. You can also [connect an NLP app](/chatbot-automation/create-rules-to-trigger-a-sequence/user-intent-by-nlp-wise-automation/connect-wit-nlp.md) to your Viber account. 
7. Click on **Finish** to complete the setup.

### 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.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Link" %}
<http://live-v3-api.getalice.ai/viber/redirect?viber\\_url=viber://pa?chatURI=\\><your URI>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="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>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

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

{% hint style="info" %}
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.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Edit Viber Channel Settings

From the Integration menu, select the **Integrated** tab. Here, you can view and manage your already connected channels.

{% hint style="info" %}
Click on the triple dot (...) icon on each channel to edit channel settings, disconnect or delete your channel.
{% endhint %}

From the edit menu, you can edit the channel name, and connect [an NLP app](/chatbot-automation/create-rules-to-trigger-a-sequence/user-intent-by-nlp-wise-automation/connect-wit-nlp.md) to your Viber channel.
