How do i get the phone number of a user, who uses my Dialogflow?
I see email, name and so on in these docs, but I don't see phone number. Is it even possible?
You may need to capture it from the user itself by creating a parameter/entity. Once captured, validate it via webhook if needed for the number of digits.
This is how I am doing:

I'm testing onboarding for a a Standard Stripe Connect account, following the docs and using the phone number 00000000000 but:
I've tried 9 zeros and 10 zeros but both give the same result. I also tried removing the country prefix, but you have to select a country (removing country code is not an option).
Docs do say:
Force-skip the account form instead of having to fill out an entire account application (Standard)
But what if I want to see what customers see? Is that simply not possible, even in test mode?
That test phone number is specifically for Express onboarding, with Standard you'd skip the form entirely as you pointed out.
If you want to see what customers see, you could add a real phone number to get through the flow but stop short of actually submitting the form.
I need to gather the name and mob number of the user before he starts interacting with the Chatbot. How can I do that?
You will need to create 2 parameters - name and phoneNumber to capture name and phone numbers.
Using the #sys.phone-number you can capture phone numbers from the user.
Using the #sys.given-name or #sys.last-name you can capture user's name.
Please note: currently only US English names are supported by the system entities in Dialogflow. So there may be some cases where you may not be able to capture all the names.
gather user information like name and mobile number before Chatbot
In your case, you need to use events
Step 1. trigger an event when your app initialize like from nodejs server and angular
Events are another way to trigger the intent without user interaction
when you intent trigger you can ask information
I am writing a Dialogflow v2 chatbot with Actions on Google.
I am asking for users to create a list and then have the option for ordering them.
I need to get a few pieces of information from the user. Her name, phone number and address.
Then I need the name of the vendor and their mobile number where the order will be forwarded.
If they have already given their name, I want to show it to them and have them confirm it.
The problem is that everything is an intent.
As an example they say Order from my list. I have to ask them for a store name e.g. Walmart. Now the problem is that I may not have all the vendors in an entity list. And if they just say Walmart, how do I know if it's a vendor name. I know I could have a follow up intent but not sure what happens when they don't say the right thing.
Basically, this is how I want the conversation to go.
They create a list which I have working.
Then they say order from list
Chatbot ask for the name of the store and mobile number to order from
Chatbot checks the name in the database and if doesn't exist adds it.
Asks for name, number address of the user
Shows the order, the vendor and the user's name and address
Passes this information to the server fulfillment hook.
Next time it needs to sense that it knows the user name, address and number and ask the user to confirm.
In simple terms, you would need to rely on contexts and webhook for validating the store name.
If the store is not valid, reset the context (same as input) and politely ask the user to provide the right store name.
Maintain a counter in parameters to keep track of the number of wrong attempts.
Increment that counter when wrong, reset when correct.
If the counter reaches 3 or 4, politely reply back that you could not serve them this that vendor and ask them to try the app later.
If this assistant app is US based you may need to add Transaction API as well to show the final order and confirm back to the user. Transaction API is available in the US as of now so keep that in mind.
Here is what I am looking to setup & I'm wondering if it is possible:
I have a classified ads site where people can join the site and then are allowed the ability to email any listing. I would like to add the ability for people to text message listings as well.
Listing owners would add their cell numbers if they would like to be contacted via text message, the site would then allow user to text BUT it would not show real phone numbers, each listing owner would be assigned a nexmo number and if they choose to give out their phone numbers, they can.
Then, I would also like the ability to send out a general broadcast to all users. Is this possible? And, if so, how would I integrate something like this?
Yep all of that is possible with Nexmo you seem to have 3 or 4 separate use cases here so lets break those down:
When your users sign up for your site you'll want to capture their Cell numbers against their account, you might want to use the Nexmo Verify product as part of that signup to ensure you have a correct and valid mobile number.
For users to be able to add listing via text you would need to get a nexmo number for them to send their listing to, that would be one number for the whole site and you could look at the senders number to link the message to an account (from the one you captured at registration) If you don't recognise the sender of a listing message then you'll want to send back some kind of response asking them to register and a link.
For buyers to contact sellers without revealing their numbers this is a very common use case called 'Message (or Call) Proxy' you need to rent a number for each seller (or listing) so you'll need to factor that into your pricing, then you forward any messages sent to the number to the seller, you will also have to implement some logic to handle replies and track state in your application, within SMS there is no concept of a reply so each message has no association with the previous one, this is a bit tricky when you have several conversations going on over the same number.
Finally the 'broadcast' this would just be a case of iterating over the list of numbers you have for your users and sending the message to each one, you will need to ensure that you comply with any regulations around sending of bulk messages in the country you are sending to, more details for that are on the nexmo knowledgebase https://help.nexmo.com/hc/en-us
