How to use a bot in several channels
If one bot is published in several channels, it processes the data it gets in different ways. Depending on a particular channel, the bot uses different variables to process data, for example, information sent by the client.
In this case, you have to determine the channel type by placing a $channelType system variable into the Conditions block:
Add the Conditions block when getting client data with the help of the
$rawRequestsystem variable.Add a condition for each channel you have connected to your bot. For example, if you connect Telegram and VK, add the following conditions:
$channelType == "telegram"$channelType == "vk"
For each channel, configure script branches.
