Create an API key

Here is a quick video guide on how to generate you Dashbot API keys.

Install Dashbot via NPM

npm install --save dashbot

Include Dashbot

Use the API key created above.

const dashbot = require('dashbot')(process.env.DASHBOT_API_KEY).universal;

Notice above, we assume you have set an environment variable DASHBOT_API_KEY with your api key.

Whenever your bot sends, or receives data, log to Dashbot

See below for an example:

Log whenever your webhook is called

const messageForDashbot = {
  "text": "Hi, bot",
  "userId": "USERIDHERE123123",
  "platformJson": {
    "whateverJson": "any JSON specific to your platform can be stored here"
  }
};

dashbot.logIncoming(messageForDashbot);

Whenever you send a message, log the response

const messageForDashbot = {
  "text": "Hello, my human pet",
  "userId": "USERIDHERE123123",
  "platformJson": {
    "whateverJson": "any JSON specific to your platform can be stored here"
  }
};

dashbot.logOutgoing(messageForDashbot);
