Custom¶

Quick Start¶

Get your agent up and running in three steps.

Step 1 — Create an Agent in Cavuer¶

An agent is an AI profile that manages your channels. You can connect multiple channels to a single agent.

1. Sign up at console.cavuer.com

2. On the main page, click "Create Agent", enter a name and select a language model

   

3. After creating the agent, open its settings and add an instruction — rules for how the agent should interact with customers

You are a polite support assistant for "MyCompany".
Always address the customer by name.
Only answer questions related to our services.
If you don't know the answer — suggest contacting a live operator.

Step 2 — Connect the Custom Channel¶

1. On the main page, click "Add Channel" next to your agent and select Custom

   

2. After creating the channel, copy the Channel Identifier — you will need it to send API requests

Step 3 — Enable the Channel and Start¶

1. Go to the channel settings
2. Toggle the switch in the "Status" section

3. Click "Save"

   

Done! The Custom channel is created and active. You can now send messages via the API — the agent will process them automatically.

API Documentation¶

Authentication¶

Add the following key to the Headers of each request:

x-cavuer-api-key: <your API key>

You can create an API key in your dashboard under Profile. Learn how to create an API key.

Sending Messages¶

Send a POST request to:

https://api.cavuer.com/custom/{{uniqueIdentifier}}/send

The {{uniqueIdentifier}} parameter is your Custom channel identifier, copied in Step 2.
