[Compass](https://albato.com/apps/compass) is a corporate messenger with built-in video conferencing for over 1000 active participants. Connect Compass with Albato to integrate it with over 1000+ apps, including AI tools like [Grok](https://albato.com/apps/grok) and [Claude](https://albato.com/apps/claude_ai_anthropic). Follow the steps below to set it up.

### Before you start

To get started, you will need:

-   A workspace in Compass.
-   The Manage bots permission in your Compass workspace.
-   An Albato account.

If you don’t have permission to manage bots, ask your workspace administrator to grant it in the **Members** section.

### Step 1. Connect Compass to Albato

1.  [Log in](https://albato.com/app/user/auth/login?lang=en) to your Albato account.

3.  Enter **Compass** in the search field and select it from the list.

4.  Name your connection.

### Step 2. Create a bot in Compass and get its token

1.  Open the **Chatbots** section and click **Create**.

3.  Configure the bot parameters:
    
    -   Bot name.
    -   Avatar\*(optional).
    -   Description (optional).
    -   Respond to commands (optional).

When creating the bot, keep **Respond to commands** disabled. In this case, the bot will be created without a webhook. After Albato generates a webhook URL (in the final setup step), you can return to the bot’s settings, enable command responses, and paste the webhook URL.

3.  Copy the bot token from the bot’s profile.

> **Note:** The token is the key that allows actions to be performed on the bot’s behalf. Keep it secure and do not share it publicly.

### Step 3. Insert the token and Base URL in Albato

In the Albato connection settings, specify the following:

-   **Bot Token**, paste the copied value.
-   **Compass Base URL**:
    -   For the cloud version: [https://userbot.getcompass.com](https://userbot.getcompass.com/).
    -   For the on-premises version:https://<your\_domain>/userbo (replace <your\_domain> with your domain).

> **Note:** Do not add a slash at the end of the URL.

Click **Continue** to complete the connection.

### Step 4. Add the webhook to the bot profile (if needed)

After the connection is established, Albato automatically generates a webhook.

Add this webhook to the bot’s profile in Compass if you plan to:

-   configure bot commands;
-   use reverse integration, where events from Compass trigger automations in Albato.

### Available automation actions

-   Sending text messages to a private chat
-   Sending text messages to a thread (in a private or group chat)
-   Sending text messages to a group or channel
-   Sending files to a private chat
-   Sending files to a thread (in a private or group chat)
-   Sending files to a group or channel
-   Adding reactions to messages
-   Adding bot commands and using Compass as a trigger for automations in Albato

Your connection is ready, and you can now create automations with Albato and Compass. If you have any issues, contact support via the live chat on our website or Compass support via email or Telegram: [](https://t.me/getcompass)[https://t.me/getcompass](https://t.me/getcompass).
