Register a command

POST /v1/bots/:botId/commands

Registers a new bot slash command. Vibecode accepts a flat format and automatically wraps it in fields for Bitrix24.

Request fields (body)

Parameter Type Required Default Description
command string yes — Command text without / (for example, help)
title string/object no — Title. A string or a multilingual object { "en": "Help", "de": "Hilfe" }
params string/object no — Parameter description. A string or an object { "en": "topic", "de": "Thema" }
common string no "N" "Y" — available in all chats, "N" — only in a private chat with the bot and in chats that include the bot
hidden string no "N" "Y" — hide from the command list
extranetSupport string no "N" "Y" — available to extranet users

The table lists every accepted field. A field with any other name is dropped and the request still succeeds: the response includes a warning object with the code UNSUPPORTED_FIELDS_DROPPED and the list of dropped names. Pass the descriptive text of the command in title and the argument hint in params.

Response example

The request body contained only accepted fields:

JSON 
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "command": {
      "id": 117,
      "botId": 1327,
      "command": "/help",
      "common": true,
      "hidden": false,
      "extranetSupport": false
    }
  }
}

The request body contained a description field — the command was registered and the field was dropped:

JSON 
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "command": {
      "id": 117,
      "botId": 1327,
      "command": "/help",
      "common": true,
      "hidden": false,
      "extranetSupport": false
    }
  },
  "warning": {
    "code": "UNSUPPORTED_FIELDS_DROPPED",
    "message": "Bitrix24 imbot.v2.Command.register does not accept these fields; they were dropped: description.",
    "droppedFields": ["description"]
  }
}

Known specifics

Idempotency: a repeat call with the same command for the same bot returns the existing command unchanged. To update it, use PATCH.

Multilingual: title and params accept either a string or an object with language keys, for example en, de, ru. A plain string is stored as the English translation, so use an object to set the other languages: { "en": "Help", "de": "Hilfe" }.

Event: when a user invokes the command, the ONIMBOTV2COMMANDADD event fires.
