Automation Rule Platform: Overview of the Section
If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.
This section consolidates the documentation for the chatbot API in Bitrix24. It includes both the current methods of the new Automation Rule platform imbot.v2 and the deprecated methods from the previous generation imbot.*.
Capabilities of Chatbots in Bitrix24
Chatbots can:
- send and modify messages in chats
- receive events and respond to user actions
- work with slash commands
- upload and download files
- manage group chats and participants
- utilize keyboards, attachments, and other interface elements
Current API Version
Chatbots 2.0 is the main section for new development. It includes:
- the Automation Rule platform
imbot.v2for registering and managing bots - the agent mode
im.v2, which allows processing user events in the messenger - new methods for working with chats, messages, files, commands, and the interface
If you are starting to create a new Chatbot, focus on this section.
If the integration is already running in production or uses new fields and methods, first check the Change Log for API imbot.v2. The entries are listed from newest to oldest.
Deprecated Methods
Deprecated API contains documentation for the previous version of methods imbot.*, imbot.chat.*, imbot.message.*, imbot.command.*, and related events.
These methods are retained to support existing integrations. For new solutions, it is strongly recommended to use Chatbots 2.0.
