Request body

The following table lists the properties of an HTTP request that this action supports.

Optional

Property name	Type	Description
bot_nickname	string	Specifies the bot's nickname. The length is limited to 80 characters.
bot_profile_url	string	Specifies the URL of the bot's profile image. The size is limited to 2,048 characters.
bot_callback_url	string	Specifies the server URL of where the bot is located to receive all events, requests, and data forwarded from an application. For security reasons, it is highly recommended that you use an SSL server. The length is limited to 1,024 characters.
is_privacy_mode	boolean	Determines whether to forward all or specific messages to the bot in channels where the bot is a member. If set to `true`, only messages starting with a "/" or mentioning the `bot_userid` are forwarded to the bot. If set to `false`, all messages are forwarded. This property can help protect the privacy of users' chat logs by configuring the bot to only receive messages addressed to the bot.
enable_mark_as_read	boolean	Determines whether to mark the bot's message as read upon sending it. (Default: `true`)
show_member	boolean	Determines whether to include information about the members of each channel in a callback response. (Default: `false`)
channel_invitation_preference	int	Determines whether the bot automatically joins the channel when invited or joins the channel after manually accepting an invitation using the API. If set to `0`, the bot automatically joins the channel. If set to `1`, the bot first has to respond to an invitation. (Default: `0`)
ai	nested object	Specifies attributes of an AI bot. If specified, the bot functions as an AI bot, which can generate responses automatically and independently of the client's server-side operations. If this property is specified, the `bot_callback_url` property is no longer required but can be optionally specified.
ai.backend	string	Specifies the system that powers the AI bot. Acceptable value is `chatgpt`. Currently, only ChatGPT-powered bots are supported.
ai.system_message	array of strings	Specifies a message used to help set the behavior of a ChatGPT bot. (Default: `You are a helpful assistant.`)
ai.temperature	number	Specifies the temperature of a ChatGPT bot which controls the randomness or creativity in the generated responses. A higher temperature value will result in more diverse and unpredictable responses, while a lower temperature value will produce more conservative and predictable responses. Acceptable values range from `0.00` to `2.00`. (Default:`1.00`)
ai.max_tokens	integer	Specifies the maximum number of tokens to generate in the response by ChatGPT bots. One token generates roughly four characters for normal English text. Acceptable values range from `1` to `2048` tokens. (Default:`256`)
ai.top_p	number	Specifies a value that determines the diversity of response generated by ChatGPT bots via nucleus sampling. Higher values can lead to a variety of responses, but less reliable answers.(Default:`1.00`)
ai.presence_penalty	number	Specifies a value between `-2.0` and `2.0` that determines how to penalize new tokens based on whether they've appeared in the text before. The higher the value, more likely it is for ChatGPT bots to talk about new topics.(Default:`0.00`) *For further information, see OpenAI's documentation on frequency and presence penalties.
ai.frequency_penalty	number	Specifies a value between `-2.0` and `2.0` that determines how to penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text. The higher the value, less likely it is for ChatGPT bots to repeat the same words or phrases. (Default:`0.00`) *For further information, see OpenAI's documentation on frequency and presence penalties.
