How can I trigger the other app's bot?

[leinharte]

Hi.

I want to trigger A bot at another app(B app)'s View.

A app has A bot that is triggered by Updates-Only Event. I added a table(B app's table) to B app and made a view(B app's view). Then, A app shared the B app's table and I made A bot triggered when B app's table changes. Finally at B app's view, I changed a value. Unfortunately failed.

How can I trigger the other app's bot?

It is not possible for a bot in one app to directly trigger a bot of another app.

One alternative is to have a shared table in which the first bot adds rows that the bot in the second app responds to. The bot in the second app would have to be as scheduled bot that looks for new ows in the shared table and takes appropriate action.

Another option would be for the bot of the first app to use a web hook to access the API of the second app to invoke an action in the second app.

By the way, do you mean that the Event Type of the bot should be "Schedule" not "Data Change"?

Yes.
