I need to initiate a dialogflow messenger chat by passing custom data. In a flight booking confirmation page, I need to display possible ancillaries of that booking. So I need to initialize the messenger by passing the trip-id, getting possible ancillary details from a database and display cards of ancillaries. Because the user is in confirmation page, user does not want to enter trip details again. I have tried passing data as HTML attributes like tripId="1111111", but did not work. I can pass the user id using 'user-id' attribute, but for my case that is not enough, I need to pass some other custom data. Any help will be really appreciated!!

Can someone please share the postman to fetch TEAM roster or user profile information. I am referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/get-teams-context?tabs=json
The Url you need is this: [serviceUrl] + "/v3/conversations/{teamId}/members/"
and it is based on two variables: the "teamId" is obviously different per team. However, the first part of the address (called the ServiceUrl) can also vary between teams, based on where they might be hosted, and you need both.
It sounds like, from the link you sent, that you already have a bot? If so, your bot can retrieve both of these required parameters. One way is that, whenever a user sends a message to the bot, to get the ServiceUrl and TeamId that are sent in the incoming "activity" object that. However, if you want it even earlier than this (i.e. before a user even sends a message to the bot), have a look at the conversationUpdate event here which will fire right when the bot is first added to the conversation.
Does that help?
I am trying to create a chatbot application where user can create their own bot like Botengine. After going through google I saw I need some NLP api to process user's query. As per wit.ai basic example I can set and get data. Now I am confused, How I am going to create a botengine?
So as far I understand the flow, Here is an example for pizza delivery:-
User will enter a welcome message i.e - Hi, Hello ...
Welcome reply will be saved by bot owner in my database.
User will enter some query, then I will hit wit.ai API to process that query. Example :- Users query is "What kind of pizza's available in your store" and wit.ai will respond with the details of intent "pizza_type"
Then I will search for the intent return by wit in my database.
So, is that the right flow to create a chatbot? Am I in the right direction? Could anyone give me some link or some example so I can go through it. I want to create this application using nodejs. I have also found some example in node-wit, but can't find how I will implement this.
Thanks
What you need is webhook. You need to call different API's based on the user intent. I believe you can distinguish between different intents using parameters available in request. Check this out - Creating nodejs webhook for dialogflow
I’m coding a bot using PHP-BotMan for complexity reasons and using Dialogflow query api to extract and manipulate the informations from the response. I saw examples and hints from people here and on dialogflow forum suggesting using context or events, some of them mixing both. What is the better way to handle this?
The flow of the application is:
user messages bot
bot queries (text or/and #event?) dialogflow
internally process a reply or return dialogflow slotfilling* request
text response bot reply user with last reply or asking to fill slot
Also, how can I be sure that a slotfilling process is finished with “actionIncomplete” only having two values, NULL or TRUE? The dialogflow query response doesn’t show wich slotfilling parameters are required or not…
Thanks for the help!!
slotfilling is when dialogflow sends a text response requesting required parameters to finish an intent, adding those replied values to the context
I was trying something similar to your scenario, here are few points i found helpful:
When Slotfitting with webhook, i can't use the "Required" params field since i have to control the input parameters via webhook (query database to provide options). Which means actionIncomplete field is not useful anymore.
I personally prefer to use context as it can add/remove params which gives you more control.
Hence the dialog was designed to use webhook to check all required params before move on to next conversation flow. and pop quick replies menu to ease and restrict possible input from users.
HTH.
Clicking https://www.messenger.com/t/xxxxxxxx will take you to a bot and continue the conversation, if there was no conversation it'll begin it's 'firstRun' sequence.
Is it possible to create links that will execute a specific dialog and pass in data? It should ignore previous dialog state/stack and start a new stack with the specified data as argument to that dialog.
This is not possible. The url is used to identify the user/bot in messenger. The bot doesn't see the url so it can't read from it.
I would suggest taking a different approach. You could let the user pass in the code instead of adding it to the url.
There is a new functionality in Messenger platform that allows you to send specific messages to a bot: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/referral-params
I haven't tested it yet, but it may help you.
I want, Bot to send html form[with some fields and submit button] to user, where user can fill out the form and submit.
Once user submits the form, form action routes to dialog where i can retrieve the user data.
Is this possible in Microsoft Bot framework - Node.Js?? If so, How to achieve this ?
Please any Help.....
None of the existing channels (i.e. Facebook, Slack, etc.) support posting of HTML forms as of yet. If you are building your own channel via Direct Line you can roll your own. Take a look at FormFlow on the C# client or Waterfalls in the node client for text-based input flow.
