Member-Created Chatbots

  2. Find the member

Best Practices

Assigning Roles

  • Use Admin for trusted collaborators who need management access
  • Use Member for those who only need chatbot access
  • Limit the number of Admins

Team Settings

  • Enable member chatbot creation if you want distributed ownership
  • Keep it disabled if you prefer centralized control
  • Remember: member-created chatbots are billed to the member, not the team

Security

  • Regularly review team members
  • Remove inactive members
  • Audit role assignments
  • Review team settings periodically
