Azure Bot Creation with Natural Language understanding(LUIS) - node.js

I am facing issues while building a Voice bot using nodejs in Microsoft Azure, Currently i have made some research and built a sample chatbot which works fine using nodejs.
I have tried MS portals for voice bot integration and unable to take it forward, need guidance and suggestions.
My idea is getting a number from Twilio, then put my azure bot's end point URL in the twilio number.
Once my twilio gets an incoming call it will route the request to the Azure bot which will respond with a greeting and ask for few inputs, then the recorded voice should be passed to the LUIS app for Natural Language understanding and give the required text which will be further handled by the Azure bot.
I am not sure whether this is good solution, please suggest
I am not able to see any sample code for nodejs. Steps for integration and a basic sample code is what i need as a basic to start with, Your inputs/suggestions on this is highly appreciated.

Using the Bot Framework SDK for Node.js, you can specify text to be spoken by your bot on a speech-enabled channel in either of the following ways:
Set the IMessage.speak property and send the message using the session.send() method
Send the message using the session.say() method (passing parameters that specify display text, speech text, and options)
Send the message using a built-in prompt (specifying options speak and retrySpeak).
Feel free to review the following documentation provided and sample code for more details.

Hot to get clients location data in Dialogflow CX

I am writing an app in dialogflow CX which suggests locations to a user based on position and other data about the user.
The flow for the user requesting a location works by sending dummy coordinates to my python flask using a webhook. The flask sends a location back which gets presented to the user. So far so good.
My current objective is not sending dummy coordinates but using the clients real location.
This is my first time working with dialogflow CX and I've also never used any other Google service like actions on Google or dialogflow ES.
After some research I only found old documentation on how to extract client information using dialogflow ES. Some other documentations claim it is now only possible with actions on Google.
So I tried using dialogflow ES documentations and got rich content working.
Sadly the "old" solution for getting user data using dialogflow ES helpers did not work for me or I simply used them wrong. Any help, solution or clarification on how to solve this problem or if it is even possible to do this in dialogflow CX is greatly appreciated for I am getting more confused by the documentation than actual help!
And what device is your user in to get that info?
I asume you could ask the customer for his location as well.
I recommend you to check the ES connector of Voximplant, that would allow to have that flow very easily over chat or voicecall as well.
You can pass any metadata to the webhook and provide the flutter response in the chat.
I mean, instead of using the DF fulfillment, you use Voximplant that is easier to work with.
Here a tutorial to connect DF CX to Telephony and
How to have a custom channel to be responded by DF bot.
Let me know if you have questions about this.

Dialogflow- chatbot related queries

I've created a basic app with a chatbot that can respond to what I type using DialogFlow and Angular. It is hosted locally. Now I want to have that chatbot respond to what I type with cards, lists and such. Like how Messenger has templates. I want to have a custom payload sent to me in response to what I send. Can anyone please help me? (NOTE: iam using the v2api)
Dialogflow supports rich message response to only certain platforms that it has listed on its website for ex. Facebook, google assistance etc. To display rich message you need to code it out.

How to create a chatbot with facebook messenger like templates

I'm trying to create a chatbot for use in a chat app I've created. I basically need the chatbot to send me replies that have message templates like in facebook messenger. For example, If I type in "what's the weather like", I want my chatbot's reply to look like facebook's media template, linked here: Media Template
Does anyone have any tutorials or links I can follow?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers!
Usavaully work flow of chat application as follows,
Message providers(Facebook, twitter,slack etc..) receives messages from user
Message is sent to the configured endpoint(your webserver) according to the settings provided in the face book developer page reference
In the webserver you classify the intent prepares the response according to the request and sends the responses back.
So in the 3rd point web server you give responses based on the platform you are responding to reference, since in your case it's your own platform you need to design your own UI based on the response format or you can use some predefined html templates.
I hope answer gave some direction to work on.

Developing Chat Bot using Wit.aI

I am planning to develop a chatbot using Wit.ai for Android and iOS. I want to have a server where I have the Bot engine. The Bot Engine has several components like Exported application from Wit.ai, calls to weather API, date API etc. When the user sends a message, it is sent to the Wit and it returns back a response. For example, when the user says, "What's the weather in New York, the message is forwarded to Wit which further calls weather API to fetch weather and returns it back to the bot. Bot in turn forwards to app which acts as the presentation layer."
I am planning to use the following to achieve the above:
Heroku to act as the server.
Wit.ai as the NLP
Planning to integrate app with messenger
Since I am new to this kind of programming and architecting, my questions are very basic. Please bear with that. I have the following questions:
Can I have a program uploaded on Heroku which talks to Wit.ai and other APIs? If yes, can someone show a detailed tutorial to call Heroku from app, how to make a call from Heroku to other APIs?
I was advised by some to use Firebase which is Baas. Can I achieve more using that?
With regards,
Suresh
We use the heroku to getting the https url,and if we got that ,we can set up webhook url in developer.facebook.com .
To understand more,follow this tutorial.
Remember when you try to test after you set up all,u need to test ur own account(means cant test every facebook account yet.)
To be public ur messenger bot,u need to wait 5 business days at least.

Send unprovoked messages using NodeJS

Is there a way to send messages to channels without being provoked? For example every few hours a skype chatbot might remind you to call your mom.
I'm using Microsoft's new Bot Framework and the NodeJS sdk.
Yes... All of the built in Bot classes have a beginDialog() method which can be used to initiate a bot originated conversation with the user. The basics-naturalLanguage example shows a sample of this using the TextBot class and there's also the testBot example which shows this in action for all of the bots. For the TestBot you have to look at the 'dialogs/run-async.js' file to see the actual call.
