About Khoros Flow

With Khoros Flow, you can develop chatbots in our chatbot development platform and integrate them with other channels.

Khoros Flow provides the following APIs:

• Flow Socket API
• Flow REST API
• Flow Management API

Flow Socket API

The Flow socket API is a messaging API that permits you to send and receive a message from Flow using web sockets.

The Flow socket API is recommended for users who mostly deal with the chatbot. For example, you can create a custom web-chat widget using Flow socket API to integrate flow in a client-facing application.

With the Flow socket API, you can:

• Send a message to Khoros Flow and receive it back using web sockets.
• Create a custom client integration like your own web-chat widget or mobile application.

For use-cases that connect with client interfaces, like mobile apps and websites, you must use the Flow Socket API.
