Short answer

How can I check if my chatbots are running?

Your AI uses Botforge to pull a real-time list of your bots and their current connection states. You get immediate visibility into which bots are active and which are offline. This breakdown shows exactly how the data flows from your deployment to your chat window.

Deployment outcomes.

Where your status data lands.

The AI categorizes your bot data into these four views.

ACTIVE

Live bot tracking

The AI identifies which bots are currently online. You'll see exactly which deployments are responding to requests.

OFFLINE

Connection alerts

The AI flags bots that have lost connectivity. This helps you spot deployment failures immediately.

INVENTORY

Bot list management

Your AI pulls a full directory of all your deployed bots. You can quickly audit your entire fleet in one place.

HUMAN

Manual troubleshooting

The AI reports the status but doesn't fix the code. You'll need to step in to resolve underlying server or logic issues.

The workflow

What your AI does when status checks arrive.

The AI acts as your eyes on the ground for your bot deployments.

  1. Fetch bot list

    The AI first gathers a complete list of every bot you have deployed through the platform.

    list_bots

  2. Check connectivity

    Once it has the list, the AI checks the specific connection state for each individual bot.

    get_bot_status

  3. Filter results

    The AI sorts through the data to find only the bots you asked about or those that are currently offline.

    list_botsget_bot_status

  4. Report status

    The AI presents a clear summary of which bots are healthy and which need your attention.
