I am trying to listen to a follow event in this twitter bot but it doesn't work? Any idea?
Thank in advance
const stream = T.stream("statuses/filter", { track:"<twitteraccount>" });
function followed(event) {
console.log("follow event");
const name = event.source.name;
const screenName = event.source.screen_name;
tweeting(".#" + screenName + " hello you");
}
stream.on("follow", followed);
There is no follow event in the filtered stream API. Where are you seeing this documented? In order to build something like this, you would need to use webhooks, and the Account Activity API.

I am using the Xero-node SDK to automatically create client invoices which works well.
At the end of the process, I would like to automatically email the client the invoice.
In the documentation it has the following example:
const xeroTenantId = 'YOUR_XERO_TENANT_ID';
const invoiceID = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
const requestEmpty: RequestEmpty = { };
try {
const response = await xero.accountingApi.emailInvoice(xeroTenantId, invoiceID, requestEmpty);
console.log(response.body || response.response.statusCode)
} catch (err) {
const error = JSON.stringify(err.response.body, null, 2)
console.log(`Status Code: ${err.response.statusCode} => ${error}`);
}
I have 2 questions:
The requestEmpty method does not work in javascript. Does anyone know the correct structure of requestEmpty?
I have used requestEmpty = { } but this throws an error => even though the system does actually send an email (probably a bug)
AND....
Is there a way for me to specify the email template that I would like the invoice to use (if I have specific templates setup in the web version)? Currently it seems to use the default Xero email template.
If you don't get an answer to your first query here, please can you raise it on the SDK page in Github and the Xero SDK team will look into this for you.
With regards to point 2, it is not possible to choose the email template when sending through the API, a basic template is used.
I want to connect a 'real device' with Azure IoT Central and connect a local source application to it using MQTT. I use this code for the connection and replace.
However, I cannot find any information on how to provide the timestamp. This thread suggests to set "iothub-creation-time-utc" as a "property" - I am not sure how to do that however. Is there any documentation on this?
add the property to the message:
message.properties.add('iothub-creation-time-utc', utcDT);
Based on the links in your question I assume you are using Node.js to develop your device code. There is a sample code snippet that shows how to set the creation time property here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-accelerators/iot-accelerators-connecting-pi-node
function sendTelemetry(data, schema) {
if (deviceOnline) {
var d = new Date();
var payload = JSON.stringify(data);
var message = new Message(payload);
message.properties.add('iothub-creation-time-utc', d.toISOString());
message.properties.add('iothub-message-schema', schema);
console.log('Sending device message data:\n' + payload);
client.sendEvent(message, printErrorFor('send event'));
} else {
console.log('Offline, not sending telemetry');
}
}
I am trying to build up a facebook messenger chatbot using Dialogflow. In the dialogflow fulfillment inline editor, I found that I can use agent.request_.body to get the body of the request. I assume "request_" is a property of WebhoodClient object? But I couldn't find any documentation elaborate that, could you please advise if my understanding is correct and where I can find the reference or documentation?
const agent = new WebhookClient({ request, response });
console.log(JSON.stringify(agent.request_.body));
Thanks
Google provides documentation for Dialogflow webhooks here, which include this sample webhook to inspect parameters and dynamically create slot filling prompts:
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
const agent = new WebhookClient({ request, response });
function flight(agent) {
const city = agent.parameters['geo-city'];
const time = agent.parameters['time'];
const gotCity = city.length > 0;
const gotTime = time.length > 0;
if(gotCity && gotTime) {
agent.add(`Nice, you want to fly to ${city} at ${time}.`);
} else if (gotCity && !gotTime) {
agent.add('Let me know which time you want to fly');
} else if (gotTime && !gotCity) {
agent.add('Let me know which city you want to fly to');
} else {
agent.add('Let me know which city and time you want to fly');
}
}
let intentMap = new Map();
intentMap.set('flight', flight);
agent.handleRequest(intentMap);
});
My guess would be to add
console.log(agent);
right before defining the flight function, then checking the logs to see which objects agent contains, then adding iterations of console.log(agent.fakeObjectName) until you find the information you're looking for.
If you're following the deployment process recommended in Actions on Google's Codelabs level 2, your logs will show up in the Firebase console, like this:
Hope that helps!
Just a note.
I had a code similar to this:
const city = agent.parameters['geo-city'];
There is an icon that suggest it's better written in dot notation.
that is gone after I changed it to:
const city = agent.parameters.geo-city;
I am using bot builder sdk for node.js to create a chatbot. Also connected it to facebook channel. I am using the following code to greet the user:
var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector, [
(session, result, next) => {
let text = '';
switch(session.message.address.channelId) {
case 'facebook':
text = 'Hi ' + session.message.user.name + ' !';
break;
default:
text = 'Hi !';
}
session.sendTyping();
session.say(text);
next();
},
(session, say) => {
}
]);
The above code works fine, but I want to add "Get Started" button in the typing bar to invoke the above code. Note that this button appears only once. Please find image of the typing bar below:
Is there a way to achieve this using bot builder sdk for node.js ?
Thanks
Although one can certainly add a button to start any activity with the bot, but that will limit the bots potential to only one customizable channel, i.e. WebChat.
I think there are better 2 alternative ways to get the desired functionality which will work across many channels.
First
I would suggest to add a conversation update event. Code goes in the botbuilder's middleware. Here is a sample code from the docs.
bot.on('conversationUpdate', function (message) {
if (message.membersAdded && message.membersAdded.length > 0) {
// Say hello
var txt = "Send me a Hi";
var reply = new builder.Message()
.address(message.address)
.text(txt);
bot.send(reply);
});
What this will do is make the bot send a message Send me a Hi to the user, if it determines this is a first time visitor. This will give the visitor enough cue to send the bot Hi by typing it. Although he can enter whatever he wants, but this will result in the invocation of the 1st dialog configured which in this case is the will be the dialog which you have posted in question.
Second
You can mark some dialog to be invoked automatically if your bot has never encountered this visitor. Here is the sample code...
var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector);
bot.dialog('firstRun', function (session) {
session.userData.firstRun = true;
session.send("Hello...").endDialog();
}).triggerAction({
onFindAction: function (context, callback) {
// Only trigger if we've never seen user before
if (!context.userData.firstRun) {
// Return a score of 1.1 to ensure the first run dialog wins
callback(null, 1.1);
} else {
callback(null, 0.0);
}
}
});
Here we have split the bot creation and dialog registration in 2 steps. And while registering the firstRun dialog, we have provided it the triggerAction that if the visitor is new, then trigger this dialog.
Both of these approaches do not use adding some extra buttons and it is up to the bot either to educate him on sending some message which in turn will start the 1st dialog or directly start some dialog.
For more info on conversationEvent you can refer to this page
I tried the above options, but they didn't seem to be working for facebook messenger. But I found a solution to add the Get Started button into the typing bar of the messenger. For that we need to use the Facebook Graph API and not the bot builder sdk.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messenger_profile?access_token=<PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN>
{
"get_started":{
"payload":"Get Started"
}
}
The above API call will add the button for you to get the conversation started.
Thanks all for the help!!
I am using the Slack RTM node client and having a bit of an issue with DM's. Say a user joins the channel who has never DM'ed the bot before, the user types a command in the channel that the bot usually will respond to and by default the bot responds in a private message to the user. However, the bot cannot do this because the dataStore does not contain any DM data for this user. Code sample below...
rtm.on(RTM_EVENTS.MESSAGE, function (message) {
user = rtm.getUserById(message.user);
console.log(user); // It gets the user object fine
dm = rtm.getDMByName(user.name);
console.log(dm); // This is always undefined unless the user has DM'ed the bot previously
});
Is there a way around this? I can't seem to find anything in the docs or code to suggest there might be.
You can use the im.open method of the web API. Here's roughly how you'd do it with #slack/client (untested, apologies in advance!):
var webClient = new WebClient(token);
...
rtm.on(RTM_EVENTS.MESSAGE, function (message) {
var dm = rtm.getDMById(message.user);
if (dm) {
console.log(`Already open IM: ${dm}`);
// send a message or whatever you want to do here
} else {
webClient.im.open(message.user, function (err, result) {
var dm = result.channel.id;
console.log(`Newly opened IM: ${dm}`);
// send a message or whatever you want to do here
});
}
});
