Notes

  • Status: Beta
  • Viber requires a public HTTPS webhook URL.
  • The webhook must be set programmatically via the API (not a dashboard).
  • Viber bots can only message users who have subscribed or messaged the bot first.
  • Message broadcasting requires Viber partner approval for large audiences.
