Replying through the Botdog API works for leads who wrote first

We fixed an issue that could stop messages sent through the Botdog API with a no conversation error, even when the conversation was already visible in your Botdog inbox.

This mostly affected leads who accepted your invitation and messaged you before your campaign had sent them a message.

What changed

Messages and replies sent through the API now work for these leads.

Botdog will find the conversation on LinkedIn and connect it to the correct lead automatically.

We also improved when conversations are linked:

• As soon as a lead replies
• As soon as your campaign sends its first message

The Received a reply notification sent to your connected tools now also includes the conversation, so those tools can reply directly.

API documentation updated

We also corrected how API keys are described in the documentation.

Your existing API keys are unchanged and continue to work exactly as before.

Good to know

Stopping a lead in a campaign does not stop the conversation itself.

You can still reply to that person through the API even after their campaign sequence has been stopped.
