Botsonic is an AI chatbot builder by Writesonic that lets you create GPT-4-powered custom chatbots trained on your own data — FAQs, URLs, documents, and knowledge bases — without writing a line of code. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can manage bot knowledge bases, retrieve conversation transcripts, create and update FAQ entries, monitor chatbot performance, and keep chatbot training data fresh automatically.

Resolved ticket auto-populates chatbot FAQ

When the support team resolves a Zendesk ticket and tags it as a new question type, the agent extracts the question and answer, creates a new FAQ entry in Botsonic, and posts a confirmation to the #support-kb Slack channel. Every resolved novel ticket becomes a permanent chatbot improvement within about a minute of resolution.

    60 min / week

  • Finance
    30 min / week
    Manual bot count and usage review

FAQs

Questions about Botsonic + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Botsonic?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Botsonic, and click Connect. Paste your Botsonic API key — available from the Botsonic dashboard under Settings. Actionist runs a read-only test call to confirm the handshake before any actions run. The agent then has access to your bots, FAQs, conversations, training data, and starter questions.
Can Actionist automatically add new FAQs from support tickets?
Yes. When your support platform (Zendesk, Intercom, or similar) resolves a ticket tagged as a new question type, the Support Agent extracts the Q&A pair and calls Create Single FAQ to add it to Botsonic within about a minute. The chatbot learns from every resolved novel ticket automatically — no manual copy-paste required.
Can the agent keep Botsonic trained on new website content automatically?
Yes. When new pages, help articles, or documentation are published, the agent calls Bulk Upload URLs to add them to Botsonic's training data. You can set this to run on a schedule — for example, every Tuesday the agent checks a publishing log and reindexes any new or updated pages. Stale or 404 URLs are removed in the same run so the chatbot only answers from reachable, current content.
How does Actionist retrieve chatbot conversation history?
The agent calls Get All Conversations to retrieve the full list of chat sessions, then Get Specific Conversation for any session it needs to inspect in detail. This is used for lead extraction (routing contact details to the CRM), escalation handoffs (appending transcripts to support tickets), and conversation volume reporting. Conversations are retrieved on a schedule or triggered by an event in another connected app.
Can Actionist manage multiple Botsonic chatbot instances?
Yes. The agent uses Get All Bots to retrieve every chatbot instance in your Botsonic account, then Get Specific Bot for configuration details, Create Bot to provision new instances, and Delete Bot to retire them. This is useful for teams running separate chatbots per product, per region, or per client — the agent manages the full lifecycle without manual dashboard access.
How does the agent handle keeping starter questions relevant to active campaigns?
The Marketing Agent creates new Botsonic starter questions when a campaign launches — pulling the campaign brief from HubSpot or Notion and generating prompts aligned to the active offer. When the campaign ends, the agent deletes or updates the starter questions automatically, so visitors never see prompts about offers that are no longer running. The chatbot's opening screen stays contextually relevant without manual Botsonic logins.
Can Actionist ensure chatbot answers comply with our legal and policy requirements?
Yes. The Legal Agent retrieves all Botsonic FAQs weekly and checks them against the current policy documentation. Any FAQ containing outdated liability language, superseded terms, or incorrect compliance information is flagged and queued for deletion. Replacement FAQs with current policy wording are created in the same run. For GDPR erasure requests, the agent also identifies and removes training data sources containing the data subject's information.
Does Actionist work with Botsonic's custom domain or white-label chatbots?
Actionist connects to Botsonic via the API, which works the same regardless of whether your chatbot is deployed on a custom domain, embedded on your website, or white-labelled for clients. All API operations — FAQ management, conversation retrieval, training data management — function identically across deployment types. The agent does not configure domains or embed codes; those remain in the Botsonic dashboard.
