FAQ and Troubleshooting

Can I connect to a personal Viber account?

How do I share my Viber link?

How do I add pre-filled text to my Viber link and QR codes?

Use IS-Messenger's Pre-Filled Text feature to populate the message box with a default message when Contacts open a chat window with your business.

This saves Contacts' time from needing to think about what to write and just click send, encouraging Contacts to send the first message.

Here's how to add pre-filled text to your Viber link and QR codes.

  1. On the IS-Messenger platform, click Settings > Growth Widgets > Add Widget.

  2. Select QR Code option and click Create Widget.

  3. Create the QR Code.

    1. Select “Viber” as the QR code type.

    2. Select the connected Viber Channel that you want to create the QR code for.

    3. Add the pre-filled text that will automatically appear in the message field when the QR code is scanned.

  1. Click Generate Widget button to create your QR code with the pre-filled text.

  2. When Contacts scan your QR code or click on your Viber link, they should automatically have the pre-filled text in the message box.

Why do I receive the error message Failed to send the message as the contact is not subscribed anymore?

Seeing this error means the Contact has already unsubscribed from your business Viber bot.

Opting out stops a Contact from getting messages from a business. Often, Contacts do this due to spam, feeling the business sends too many promotions. Once unsubscribed, the business can't send any messages, like broadcasts or 1-to-1 messages, unless the Contact contacts the business again.

Why can’t I send outgoing messages?

There are two potential reasons for this.

Another reason is because you’ve exceeded the maximum free messages from the Bot.

Example:

According to the Chatbot Commercial Model by Viber, the Chatbot has a limit of 10,000 free chatbot-initiated messages per calendar month. When this limit is reached, Viber will block new chatbot-initiated messages until the following month.

The rate applied to each chatbot-initiated message is based on the country code of the phone number with which the chatbot subscriber registered to Viber.

IS-Messenger has partnered with Viber to enable more than 10,000 chatbot-initiated messages for our customers on a custom annual plan, as well as a credit-based system for Viber fees.

Why can’t I receive inbound messages?

Check if the test message is sent to your personal number tied to Viber or to the Viber Bot’s URI. If you are sending it to your personal number, you will not receive any messages. Try sending a message to the Bot's URI instead.

Here’s how you can locate the Bot's URI:

Step 2: Select the bot and navigate to the URI field
