Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a bot communication system for communicating between channels and bots are described. In one embodiment, a system includes a bot manager configured to provide communication between an individual bot from a plurality of bots and a target channel of a plurality of channels. The bot manager is configured to process a bot response from the individual bot to the target channel by at least: identifying channel configuration metadata from a channel metadata repository that defines a channel dependent format for communicating data with the target channel; converting the bot response to the channel dependent format associated with the target channel including formatting data components from the bot response according to the channel configuration metadata of the target channel; and transmitting, via a network connection, the converted bot response to the target channel in the channel dependent format of the target channel.
