Uploading and Configuring Scripts

The scripting interface is provided through the Mesibo console. You need not configure or install anything additional to use the mesibo chatbot and scripting framework. Just login to your mesibo console, upload your script, and get going!

There are two parts to the process:

1. Upload one or more scripts using the mesibo console. When you upload a script, it will get added to your script library. However, it will not be active unless you assign it to your app or one or more users.

2. Activate a script by assigning it to the app (all the users) or specific users.

Now, let's go in detail.
