I recently did some Watson Assistant integrations. Whatsapp, Telegram and Facebook Messenger and now I'm looking to do the same thing with Instagram.
I saw that Facebook (now Meta) recently published the API to do this integration. But I tried to replicate what I had done on Facebook Messenger, (set up webhoock, link page, set up test user) and Direct doesn't give me a return.
I would like to know if Watson and this API are compatible with each other.
And if not, is there any platform to do this integration?
It is currently possible.
Instagram provides an API in which you can capture a Webhook and exchange messages, while node red creates a url that will be sent and received as responses
You can also use captivate hub to connect your watson assistant on instagram

I want to use dialogflow to create a prototype of an Instagram chatbot using the Messenger API for Instagram, but the Messenger API for Instagram is not recommended on the official dialogflow website.
Please let me know if there is a way.
What I need is the ability to send DMs in some form of auto-response to users' DMs, comments, Stories actions, and Stories mentions.
We are also considering adding a feature that would allow us to send DMs to users who responded to DMs that they are interested in jackets when new jacket products are released.

I have developed a chatbot using dialogflow and hosted my webhook api to firebase cloud. I have integrated this bot to MS Team and Skype where I am able to access the bot from both channels. I have a requirement that I have to show "user typing..." notification to users in the chat window similar to session.sendTyping() having in MSBot. Do we have similar functionality using webhook option?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
This is not a feature that is built into Dialogflow. If you want to add this, you'll need to use another system to store the state of the focus and receive it on other devices. This could be accomplished through storing the boolean state in Firebase's database, for example.
I know Dialogflow (Api.ai) can be a bot in Slack. But what about monitoring the conversation and possibly manually intervene in the conversation? If possible, what would be the general direction to implement this?
So Slack has Open APIs for interacting with the Slack App. Here
Since you want to monitor the conversations so Events APIs and Conversations APIs would help you to notify as well as capture the conversations.
conversations.history will help you to fetch the messages within public or private channels.
Since you want to intervene in the conversation then I suggest using chatbot, which will provide a suitable way to intervene and respond to some particular events. Bot Users
Dialogflow has an sample on how to do this: https://github.com/dialogflow/agent-human-handoff-nodejs
You'll have to build you own front end for the human to override the response and call the Dialogflow query API to integrate:
Slack <--> Front end w/human override <--> Dialogflow's query API <--> Dialogflow Agent
Yes, it's possible. Just login to DialogFlow with your Google credentials, then on the left sidebar you can see the Integrations Tab. Click on it. You will find a bunch of different integrations for line, telegram, Twilio, kik, Viber, Skype and a lot more.
Click on Slack. It will ask you for some details for connecting with endpoints such as client ID, token, client secret. You can get it from the Slack API. You can also check the Slack API integration link here. After everything is properly set up, click the "Test in Slack" button in the DialogFlow Slack integration.
I am confused about how to integrate my Watson bot on messaging platforms such as Facebook messenger. To build that bot, I used the Watson Conversation service and also used Bluemix cloudfoundry node.js app to expose it on the web. It works very well, but I just can't integrate it to platforms without the use of a third-party platform like stamplay. I don't really want to use third-party platforms to integrate my bots.
Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I can host my own bots on my Bluemix cloud platform? I just don't know how.
You might want to use some facilitators for this, like Node-red or NGROK.
Use Node-red to Integrate Watson Conversation with facebook easily.
Use NGROK, Tanmay Bakshi teaches how to do that. Check this tutorial.
With Node-RED you can create functions, and have a lot of options for Business rules for your application.
Note: I've built some open source basic example to Integrate Watson Assistant with Telegram and Facebook using Node.js. You can follow the instructions or read the docs in the repositories.
This middleware plugin allows developers to easily integrate a Watson Conversation workspace with multiple social channels like Slack, Facebook, and Twilio. Customers can have simultaneous, independent conversations with a single workspace through different channels.
https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/botkit-middleware
I created a starter application for this purpose. My example is for Slack and you easily use it by creating an slack API token.
The starter is implemented in node-red and you just need to insert your API token and the rest is deployed automatically. I used Watson Conversation and Natural Language Understanding.
One-Click-Deploy and more detailed description:
https://github.com/BenediktKrueger/SlackBot-Starter-on-Bluemix
I'm able to get conversation details for webchat using https://webchat.botframework.com/api/conversations/[conversationId]/messages
Service URL for skype channel is https://skype.botframework.com, but I dont find any documentation for getting conversation details
You can use the DirectLine Rest API (see docs).
The Direct Line API is a simple REST API for connecting directly to a single bot. This API is intended for developers writing their own client applications, web chat controls, mobile apps, or service-to-service applications that will talk to their bot.
Within the Direct Line API, you will find:
An authentication mechanism using standard secret/token patterns
The ability to send messages from your client to your bot via an HTTP POST message
The ability to receive messages by polling HTTP GET
A stable schema, even if your bot changes its protocol version
You need to enable the DirectLine channel for your bot on (see screenshot)
You don't have to access each specific channel endpoint separately, you can do it all (with some limitations) through the DirectLine API.
Start a New Conversation
POST /api/conversations
Get Messages in a Conversation
GET /api/conversations/{conversationId}/messages
Send a Message
POST /api/conversations/{conversationId}/messages
The full details are in the docs as linked above.
Hope this helps
Can you be more specific about conversation details and what you're looking for?
Generally, you shouldn't assume those URL's are static BTW; an incoming message from the Bot Framework will have a ServiceURL that should be used for the life of that conversation. Some services may have multiple ServiceUrl's that they give out for different users.
