Technical Specifications
End users can search for Viber Bots channels in the Viber interface.
When an end user joins your Viber Bots channel or initiates a conversation with your Viber Bot, the end user is assigned a unique ID that is specific to that channel. Thus, Viber Bots are not phone number-based chats but are based on anonymized Viber-generated IDs. You receive this unique Viber ID, which enables you to communicate with them.
Viber Bots use session-based communication. A session starts when an end user sends a message to your Viber Bot. The session charge is applied when you send your first message to the end user. The session lasts for 24 hours from the last message sent by the end user. During the session, you can send unlimited messages without additional charge.
Any messages that you send outside this window or before you receive a message from the end user are billable.
