I have a nodeJS Microsoft website chatbot and I want to add a feature to retain user conversation when a user closes the window and reopen. Can we use cookies in this case or is there any other way to implement this?
There are options to manage conversation state. This GitHub issue mentions that you can implement your own way to save state by implementing the IStorageClient interface.
This looks like an example of how to implement it.
There is currently a PR for using storing past conversation history in WebChat, but it looks like it might be on hold for now. This concept is something we want to get into WebChat, but there are still some details to be hammered out.

I'd like to automatize some processes that are not yet available through API(Google Classroom), like posting comments on announcements, seeing private comments on my work and so on. I have trouble accessing my account. I'd like the app to be able to run on a server. I'm currently working with node.js, but if there is an easier approach I'll gladly accept it (free if it's possible). Can you give me an example of how it's done because currently, I am struggling to find every button that needs to be clicked on?
Unfortunately, there are no methods right now to accomplish that. You can leave a feature request on Google Issue Tracker describing what methods you would like to use. Google engineers will study your case and, if applicable, they will develop the requested methods.
You could use something like Selenium with your language of choice (Javascript in this case) to automate the browser clicks.
This is however, not the best of ideas... To make Selenium log into your account you will need to hardcode your password somewhere.
Google services use Oauth for authentication, take a look at the Classroom API Getting-started for instructions on how to work with Google Classroom API.
So I've been looking around for answers but haven't been able to find any up to date solutions to my problem. So my use case is pretty simple, I want to be able to check the online status of a list of users at my organisation using Skype for Business. Opening chats with them is simple enough, but actually getting the online status has shown to be a challenge.
I've been looking into the SDK but it seems a bit over the top for my use case, and I haven't been able to get web ticket authentication working (I'm implementing this in an Electron app). Even if I got that far, would I have to make an account with specifically only the contacts I need added and use that as authentication?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it seems like the SDK/API is a bit over my level and I'm missing something. Do I need to add in my own server middleware between the node/electron-app and their API or something similar maybe?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have developed a web Chatbot using socket.io/nodejs/LUIS. I'm not using bot builder. I'm new to models.
My flow will be like socket-> luis->Response function.
This flow can be used for single req and response.but it can't handle complex conversations like form inputs,prompt dialog.
How can I incorporate such complex conversations?
If you are at the beginning of your journey with chatbots, I will propose you to take a look at Teambot project. This is an open source project so you can give it a try, go through the code to get some ideas or contribute to it.
Recently Instagram changed their API's policy, which means you can no longer like/follow/unfollow using their API unless you are approved by Instagram to do so.
I own the website http://instapromobiz.com which uses JavaScript and PhP to automate likes/follows/unfollows using Instagram's API. This was doing great until Instagram made this update and I can no longer perform these actions.
My question is, is there any way to perform these actions without using Instagram's API? Sites like http://instagress.com are still working so there must be another way to perform these actions without using their API.
Does anybody have any suggestions that might point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
You should submit your app for review. They usually answer quickly.
Go to Manage Clients (https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/), then click on Edit button of your App. Your submission can be made over Permissions tab.
But, unfortunatelly, it's probably Instagram won't authorize an app that do like/ follow automatically. They want to ensure an authentic and consistent experience for the Instagram Community, so those actions should be manual. Good luck.
Is it possible to receive email notification for new comments on the Support page of a Chrome extension in the webstore?
On the support page of a Chrome extension I can add a new question, suggestion or bug report but I don't receive any notification about responses.
I had the same problem. I have several apps in the Chrome Web Store and I found it tedious to be constantly checking. I found an extension that claimed to have this functionality, though I found it periodically lost my list of extensions and wasn't able to actually fetch reviews consistently. You can try the extension here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/my-extensions/igejgfmbjjjjplnnlgnbejpkpdajkblm?hl=en. It is also open source, so it could be improved.
I ended up writing some of my own scripts to periodically check and send me an email when there is a new review or support request. I made it available to use as a hosted service (currently free, though I plan on asking for a little money to defray the hosting costs as well as some coffee money). Check out the hosted service at https://www.chromebeat.com. It has a full list of the Chrome webstore apps and extensions and can send you notifications on a new support issue or review. Right now it only checks hourly and sends on the hour.
Also, when you respond to a support request, the user who reported it doesn't get any kind of notification. The best way around that I've found is to actually message that person's Google+ profile, either by adding them to a circle (e.g. App users) posting publicly and mentioning them in the post, or for some users it's possible to message directly with hangouts.
[update: Oct 2015. It's now possible to "Reply" to reviews in the web store, so that's probably the best way to respond to user reviews directly]
As far as I know, there is no such option. You will have to periodically check it.
Which makes using the built-in Feedback quite useless - you're better off using something like a public bug tracker as your "Support" link and disabling Feedback.
Existing feature request: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=295837
As of 2015-03-23, it is untriaged.
No, that has not been implemented, even approaching a decade later.
New Solution:
The two options in the current answer are no longer working, so I made a small utility app to solve this problem.
You can submit your extension's id and your email address and Webstore Watch will notify you within 1 minute of a new support request.

Let me know if this goes down or if you experience problems. I can't guarantee 100% reliability, but I will do my best to maintain it.
