Trusted Managers for groups and bots

We were frequently asked by our customers to allow managers controlling their personal bots. This is finally done – the “Trusted Manager” section has been published.

“Trusted Manager” is a resident who can control your bot using SmartBots HUD like you do. You can list as much Trusted Managers as you need – read the documentation page for details.

Moderators vs Trusted Managers

You may know that we had “Group Moderators” section before, which allowed giving similar access rights to your groups. Now “Moderators” page has been replaced by “Trusted Managers”. (more…)

SBSL published, new event and command are available

We are proud to inform that SBSL – Simple Bot Scripting Language – is officially launched at SmartBots! It took few months to test it and make scripting reliable. It is working now and ready to power your bot!

We are creating several new products based on SBSL and will be extending this language. We also plan to make one or more presentations for developers to help understanding SBSL.

Recent changes and updates

The new SBSL event and new command are available:

balance_changed event
google_check_calendar command

The new ‘balance_changed’ event is being fired when your bot receives or sends money and its balance changes.

The new ‘google_check_calendar’ command allows working with Google Calendar. This is useful if you want notify your customers about your events. The usage example is available in docs.

Bot problems resolved, subscriptions extended

Some of our bots had serious problems today: 3 servers crashed after installing recent OS updates. Our tech guys together with provider’s support were trying to fix the problem all the day.

The affected bots has been moved to a temporary server, and this was a reason why your bot was logging in and out. The servers are now up and operational, and your bots are residing back in their high-performance working sockets.

We are really sorry for inconvenience! All bots will get 48 hours of additional subscription to compensate the outage. Hope this will help a bit, thank you for understanding!

P.S. If your bot still acting in strange way, please open support ticket or IM Glaznah Gassner directly. We are fixing such issues immediately.
