Creating a Bot

Creating a bot in nativeMsg is a process of setting up the bot name, adding channels, adding interactions, and adding actions to the interaction.

The nativeMsg application provides a user interface to create, edit, and manage the Bot interactions. If you prefer to use the JSON editor, nativeMsg provides functionality to configure the interactions through JSON code.
