Can I return a card with a display directive at the same time from an Alexa backend? I'd like to show a template on the Echo screen but at the same time I'd like leave a reminder on the phone app (a "standard" card). It doesn't work for me. Is this a bug or a feature?

I want to get the timezone of my device in Google Assistant. I have created the Google Action added DialogFlow as a Fulfillment tool.
Before the start to talk with the user I want to say Good morning/Hello/Good night, but for this action I need to get the timezone/time of the device from Dialogflow or Google Console or something like this one.
For example, in Amazon Alexa, to get the time zone, you just need to send a request with deviceId like '/v2/devices/ {deviceId>/settings/System.timeZone'.
Is it possible to do the same as Amazon Alexa or something similar?
The platform does not provide a way to get the timezone of the user or of a given device.
I'm building an app where I want users to be able click a link to open up CashApp (as well as various other P2P payment apps), as far along in the transaction as possible. My client doesn't want the app to actually handle the payments, just for it to forward along to a place to make the payment.
So, for example, I can go to venmo.com/username to open the Venmo app to a certain user's profile, which is basically enough for me. (anyone know how to include an amount or message in the url?)
But cash.app/username goes to a webpage that directs me to the App Store get the app, and doesn't even open the app on my phone if it's already downloaded.
Anyone know how to do this?
This is actually quite simple with a universal link:
https://cash.app/$username/amount
The following example will open a cash app payment of $12.50 for the user with username 'helloworld':
https://cash.app/$helloworld/12.50
To pass info to Venmo app you can use:
venmo://paycharge?txn=pay&recipients=someone&amount=9.99¬e=For%20Things
This is the url format for Venmo deeplinking:
https://venmo.com/<USER_NAME_1>,<USER_NAME_2>...?txn=<charge|pay>¬e=<NOTE>&amount=<AMOUNT>
You can read more about the url format for Venmo Deeplinking here.

I also used the same format but instead of app I used me:
https://cash.me/$username/5.00/
And when i click on the button with the as anchored:
"href="https://cash.me/$username/5.00/">"
The phone with the APP opens the payment of $5.00 with the username and the person just needs to hit send.
At this time, the ability to integrate with Cash app or accept or send Square Cash payments aren't currently available for Square’s API.
I'm trying to understand phone gateway implementation in dialogflow but dont see much of documentation for how to handle in backend code using nodejs or any third party apps like twilio,viber etc.
My doubt is whether is it available for now or not and is their any documents regarding phone gateway which can be done through google mini device for voice calling?
Please correct me if I'm wrong about what I understand.
Dialogflow phone gateway is a great feature provided by Dialogflow. It is simple to activate. Just follow the instructions in the Integrations tab.
All your intents and webhook will just work fine as they do in the bot. But the response type is little different from other platforms. So check that once before building responses.
It only supports speech response that is returned to the user in the phone call.
as per Google documentation, it uses the V2Beta1 version of the API. It means you have all the normal fields of the V2 API inside the body and parameters of the webhook call (+1 "MlEnabled" field, but not important for the telefony gateway). See more here https://dialogflow.com/docs/reference/v2-beta-v2-migration-guide-api . I have also been searching for extra fields like the phone number who is calling (to use it in backend tasks like CRM lookup), but this is not there yet (I analysed the JSON response, there is nothing so far).
Some tip to integrate with Twilio (my use case too) : you can perfectly route the twilio call to a simple Twilio callflow (like checking for opening hours) then to the incoming DialogFlow number (as you would do with the black number of an IVR provider) and transfer the Dialogflow call to another incoming phone numbers (controlled by Twilio) where you do the rest of the callflow (typically the skill based routing).
Example : after the call, Twilio checks for opening hours > OK > forward to Dialogflow phone nbr for intent recognition > identify intent nbr1 > route to phone nbr1 of Twilio which is connected to a routing/queue to agent group nbr1 (idem for intents nbr2, 3, 4 ...).
In this example, some useful fields are missing in the JSON like the phone nbr of the caller(CLI), the phone number dialed, eventually some UUI ISDN field, ... that you would like to use for a CRM lookup and CTI popup. Let's keep an eye on it and maybe Google will add it in V2beta2 ...?
I'm using HeroCard with Microsoft BotBuilder and it works fine.
Now, I'm also using SignIn Card but I don't understand how it works compared to HeroCard. Messenger display a card with a text and a button. Clicking on the button will open the associated URL.
According to this question it's only the UI
Bot Framework - Sign-In Card, how get auth result
Any NodeJS sample to implement a Sign-In callback ?
I thought it would use at least WebViews ?
Regarding your question about Node and Sign-in, take a look to the Node AuthBot version. There you will find the documentation and how to start with the package.
Check this out.
That's an example to link your customers accounts to your bot. The best solution for messenger channel. And it is easy to implement.
HeroCard and SignInCard are two different types of cards.
Hero card is more likely if you want to show some data. You may use this if you want to show one single large picture with buttons(options).
In Bot Framework docs you can find more cards.
Does anyone know how to send an SMS from the xcode application without using the UI?
I mean I want the SMS to be sent internally from the application. I have seen an app that has this feature.
I have alarm system, the alarm only receive SMS nothing else, I need the user to see the alarm name that is easy, but I want the user to choose the alarm name and control it (close, open) and I need to send command by SMS that the issue, the user should not see the alarm number neither the content which is the command text if you can help me that I will pay anyone that can help me with this.
I'm developing on iOS version 4.2.
no there is no way to do it in background , you have to call the GUI unless you create your api that ask for no & send sms from server.
