Viber Integration FAQs
Do I need a Viber Bot for respond.io?
Yes. respond.io only connects to an official Viber Bot — not a personal Viber account or an unofficial API — since that's the account type Viber requires for third-party integrations. Apply for the bot directly with Viber, then add the bot token in respond.io to complete the connection.
Does Viber charge fees on top of my respond.io subscription?
Yes. Viber bills a monthly maintenance fee per bot plus a per-message rate for chatbot-initiated messages sent outside an active session — both charged directly by Viber, with no markup from respond.io. Messages within an active session, including a contact's first message to you, are free.
Can I message Viber contacts who haven't texted me first?
No. Viber only lets a business reply or broadcast to contacts who've already messaged it — importing a contact list to message new Viber users isn't possible. Encourage that first message with a QR code, click-to-chat link or website widget, then respond.io handles the reply and any follow-up broadcasts.
