Get BotStar Application IDs
Tool to retrieve the botstar application id (`appid`). use when initializing or reinitializing the live chat widget.
Why this helps
Looking up an application identifier at the moment a workflow needs it adds an avoidable detour.
- Retrieve the BotStar app ID in response to a real contact creation event.
- Keep an identifier close to a workflow that initializes or reinitializes the widget.
- Avoid manually retrieving the app ID for each triggered run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect HubSpot and BotStar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the BotStar application ID when a HubSpot contact is created.
- 4Choose the HubSpot Contact Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contact creation and confirm the run returns the app ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does retrieving the ID initialize the BotStar widget?
No. This action retrieves the application ID. Widget initialization or reinitialization requires a separate supported action.
Is this useful if I do not need the app ID for anything?
Probably not. Use this workflow when a downstream process or run report needs the BotStar application ID.
