Overview
Albato is a no-code automation platform. The Asyntai app works in both directions. Triggers start a flow the moment something happens in your chat, such as a new message or a request for a person. Actions let any flow ask your assistant a question, or teach it something new.
Triggers
Triggers use webhooks, so they fire within seconds. There is no polling delay.
- New message - a visitor writes to the chatbot and the assistant answers. Gives the question, the answer, the session, and the page.
- New conversation - a visitor opens a new chat. Gives the session, the page, and the device.
- Escalation requested - a visitor asks to speak to a person. Gives the session and the message.
- Takeover started - one of your agents takes a chat over from the assistant. Gives the session and the agent name.
Actions
- Ask the assistant - sends a question and returns the answer, based on your own content.
- Add knowledge from a URL - reads a page and adds it to what the assistant knows.
- Add knowledge from text - adds a note the assistant can answer from.
- Find websites - lists the websites on your account with their identifiers.
How to Connect
Get Your API Key
Open the API Settings page and generate a key:
https://asyntai.com/settings/api/
Copy the key and keep it safe. Anyone with the key can reach your Asyntai account through the API.
Add the Connection in Albato
In Albato, open Apps, then add a connection, and search for Asyntai. Paste your API key. Albato checks the key at once and shows an error if it is wrong.
Pick Your Website
Actions that take a website show a list of the websites on your account. Leave it empty to use your primary website.
Build the Automation
Choose an Asyntai trigger, or use any other trigger and add an Asyntai action. Map the fields you need into the next step.
Test and Turn It On
Run a test with a real question, check the result, then switch the automation on.
Ask the Assistant Inputs
- Question (required) - the text the assistant must answer.
- Conversation ID - use the same value across messages to keep one thread with memory. Leave it empty for a single question.
- Website - which assistant answers. Leave it empty to use your primary website.
The action returns the Answer field. Map it into an email, a chat message, a ticket, or a spreadsheet row.
Tip: Improve the answers by adding instructions, FAQs, and knowledge base content in your Asyntai Dashboard.
Conversation History
Asyntai keeps the history under the Conversation ID you send. Use the same value for the same customer, and the assistant remembers earlier messages. Use a new value to start a fresh thread.
Each call adds a message to the history, so a repeated run creates a duplicate entry. Keep this in mind when you set up retries.
Example Use Cases
- Alert on escalation: a visitor asks for a person, and your team gets a message in Slack or by email within seconds
- Log every chat: each new message lands as a row in Google Sheets or a record in your CRM
- Answer email: a new email arrives, the assistant writes the answer, and your mail app sends it
- Keep knowledge fresh: when you publish a new help article, the flow adds that page to the assistant automatically
- Report on takeovers: record which agent took over which chat, and when
Webhooks and Disconnecting
When you create the connection, Albato registers a webhook on your Asyntai account for the four chat events. When you remove the connection, that webhook is deleted. You can see the registered webhooks through the API.
