Tailor the chatbot’s look and feel with logos, buttons, custom colors, and themes to suit your brand identity and make the Viber chatbot instantly recognizable.
Get rich media quick
Cards, carousels, GIFs, emoji, and stickers bring the chatbot’s messages to life, making them more dynamic, immersive, and attention-grabbing.
One-to-one or one-to-many
A Viber chatbot gives you the option of messaging many subscribers simultaneously. Define a target audience within your subscriber base and message them.
Send birthday greetings, offer seasonal coupons, and more.

Users will find it by typing its name on the Chats screen. Promote your chatbot on your own marketing channels and take advantage of Viber ads and sticker packs to attract new users.
Easy payment
Enabling our native payment capabilities in your chatbot will let subscribers purchase your products without leaving the Viber app.
Compatible with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local alternatives, it's a seamless, simple, and secure way to pay.
Measure success
Set up multiple campaigns to track the status of your messages (e.g. delivered, read, expired) and be notified when a user joins your bot for the first time or unsubscribes.
You can create and publish your chatbot on Viber for free. Make your service available 24/7
and provide automated replies to your customers with free session messages — or
strike up a conversation with your subscribers, using chatbot-initiated messages.
Chatbot session messages
Message exchanged between the chatbot and its subscribers during a conversational session.
Chatbot-initiated messages
Message sent by the chatbot owner to its subscriber to engage in a conversation with them.
As the first message your chatbot sends to a new subscriber, a welcome message is free and doesn’t count towards the monthly limit. Use it to introduce the chatbot, familiarize the user with your chatbot’s UI and features, give information, and encourage the user to interact with the chatbot.
A 24-hour Chatbot session starts whenever a subscriber messages the chatbot. After 24 hours, the session terminates automatically. The next time a subscriber messages the chatbot, a new session starts.
To send more than 10,000/month, you will need to set up billing for your Chatbot by signing Viber’s Chatbot Commercial Terms and providing a prepayment that will act as your account’s balance. Once the billing is set up, you will be able to exceed 10,000 messages limit. Viber will bill you for the billable traffic at the end of each month to maintain your positive balance in our system.
The rate applied to each chatbot-initiated message depends on the phone number with which the subscriber you’re messaging is registered on Viber.
