Suggest Edits

Moveworks aims to accelerate and autonomously resolve IT tickets or surface relevant knowledge articles to an employee query. To do this, Moveworks needs access to the Chat Systems (like Slack, MS Teams). Once an Account is implemented and your company specific bot is created with the help of Moveworks Team, the next step is to Deploy the bot on a chat system (like Slack, MS Teams).

This document walks through the exact steps to successfully implement and integrate the Moveworks Bot in Chat Systems.

Configuring Chatbots

Please follow the below steps to deploy the Bot on a new Chat System:

  3. Select the Channel. It is the channel for which ChatBot configuration is required. E.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams, Moveworks for Web chat.
  4. Select the Integration ID. Integration ID refers to the connector that is used for Chat Integration.
    E.g. msteams can be the Integration ID corresponding to the MS Teams Chat integration (can vary based on connector implementation).
  5. Input the Bot ID.
    Bot ID identifies which account we are using to send messages from.

    6. For other chat systems: copy the id from the appropriate setup page
  6. Add the Bot Name (Moveworks Identifier)
    Bot Name is the unique identifier of the Bot within Moveworks. This should be in the format of orgname-channel (eg. moveworks-slack or moveworks-webchat). When submitting, match the Config Title with this value.
    Note: This cannot be changed once it is submitted.
  7. Set the Bot Friendly Name. It is the Customer-facing name of the bot. This is generally the same across all bots for an organization.

    1. Refer to the detailed guide here for all the systems
