Understanding BJS Commands: The Building Blocks of Bots.Business

Understanding BJS Commands

What are Commands?

Commands are the fundamental building blocks of every bot created on Bots.Business. A command is triggered when a user sends a specific keyword or message to your bot (e.g., /start or /help).

Command Components

Each command can have multiple components to define its behavior:

name - The command name (e.g., /start)
help - Help text describing the command
aliases - Secondary names that trigger the same command
answer - The response the bot sends
keyboard - Custom keyboards for user interaction
scenarios - Simple logic flows

Your First BJS Command

Here's a simple /start command example:

JAVASCRIPT

Bot.sendMessage("👋 Welcome to My First Bot!\n\nThis bot is powered by Bots.Business.\nUse /help to see available commands.");

Advanced Command Logic

For more complex functionality, you can use BJS (Bot JavaScript) to add logic to your commands:

JAVASCRIPT

// Store user information
User.setProperty("first_visit", Date.now());

// Conditional responses
var visitCount = User.getProperty("visit_count") || 0;
User.setProperty("visit_count", visitCount + 1);

if (visitCount === 0) {
    Bot.sendMessage("Welcome first-time visitor!");
} else {
    Bot.sendMessage("Welcome back! This is your " + (visitCount + 1) + " visit.");
}
