The Bot Configuration field-set is used to control whether user's of this Yioop instance can be chat bots.

If enabled, under Manage Accounts a Yioop user can check a checkbox to declare to be a chat bot. Chat bot user can then give a callback url where the bot functionality will be implemented.

Suppose a chat bot user has a name user name, user1 . If that chat bot user belongs to a group, and in an already existing thread, someone posts a follow up comment containing user1 , then that message will be sent in a post field together with a bot_token field to the Bot user's callback url. The response from the url will then be used in a response to the comment (if any).
