Hello, We are looking to migrate over from Teams but one sticking point is a chat bot we have set up to record information. I have been tasked to build a replacement here but i am struggling to find what the best method to build it would be. The users use the chat to say what equipment has been installed and this sends a post to our server, there’s a few other features but thats the important part. We like this as an option because if there’s internet issues or something wrong we have the chat log as a redundancy feature. Is this possible through Zoom? Preferably without making a public facing app? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer ---

Hey There Jay, So … unfortunately not at the moment - there isn’t an option for that but great information to bubble up via feedback tab this way it can alert the executives which then trickles down to the developers. I do urge you to do a deep dive of sorts because I’m pretty sure Cisco may have what you’re seeking … specifically via webex. Have an awesome day ---

Good information john, I will add some points to this reply that app development may take some instead of this you should rely on this existing feature like API , zoom chatbot documentation may help you in this regard. ---

@jay7 , Thank you for posting in the Zoom Developer Forum. I’m happy to help here. Your use case is definitely possible. I recommend building a Zoom Team Chatbot. You can either program commands or add a shortcut that opens a web view in the team chat environment, allowing users to record when equipment has been installed. You can then send a post request to your server after the information is entered. > **[Create a chatbot for Team Chat](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/team-chat-apps/create-chatbot/)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. > **[Chatbot API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/team-chat-apps/chatbot/apis/#operation/sendChatbot)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. > **[Slash commands and UI elements](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/team-chat-apps/slash-commands-and-ui-elements/)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. **More Resources:** > **[Chatbot API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/team-chat-apps/chatbot/apis/#operation/sendChatbot)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.

You can use Zoom’s Chatbot API or simple webhooks to send install info to your server without a public app. We use a similar private setup for tracking orders on our Slushy Noobz merch store it’s simple and keeps chat logs as backup.
