I need to be able to ask for the location and handle that in a waterfall dialog flow (currently I only care about Facebook Messenger)
I am wanting to ask for the location in a builder prompt, although the closest type is attachment but that is expecting a video or image response from the user.
I'd like to see a response handled by the user because the only way I can see this working is if I set a flag that I've asked that question and explicitly capture the response if it is a location response. Although, this isn't really the functionality I'm after.
Does anyone have a solution for this by chance?
Thanks,
Scott
Edit; I am looking for a solution that requires the use of Location quick replies.
For asking location, I would recommend you to use the Bing Location Control for Microsoft Bot Framework.
The Bing location control for Microsoft Bot Framework makes the process of collecting and validating the user's desired location in a conversation easy and reliable. The control is available for C# and Node.js and works consistently across all channels supported by Bot Framework.

We can see the conversation of user and bot in history tab, and see where bot understood and where it failed. Is there any way to download or save that history for analyses or later use. If we can't download that then how long that history is kept?
Answer here is for nodejs, i'm using .Net for backend.
I dont think it is possible, but you can enable 'Log interactions to Google Cloud' in the Settings, then you can acces (also download) the events that occur during the conversation
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 am still trying to understand Chatbots. Currently i have already made chatbot which is integrated in skype. I have Sharepoint online where user search for FAQ. If they dont find then they ask BOT which sends request to LUIS and Qnamaker.
Qnamaker then sends response back by looking it into its database. I upload FAQ from sharepoint to Qnamaker using sharepoint workflows. But i want to write my own logic and get rid of Qnamaker.
What are ways to do it? Any good tutorials? I also wanted to know how the flow happens. For example if we dont use Qnamaker then we fire queries in sharepoint based on what user asked? I dont understand how i can fire queries in sharepoint if user makes typo then we will not get anything from sharepoint. So any tips on how to implement this without using qnamaker is highly appreciated?
The FAQ bot generator is a subset of the main Microsoft bot framework. You should do some research on the Microsoft Bot Framework. The link above takes you right to the documentation overview of the bot framework and from there you can get into developing one. They have links to a few sample projects as well as a large number of code snippets within some of the article explanations. It has a full setup guide that will walk you through the initial setup so it should be easy to get a basic echo bot running, but if you are not a programmer you should stick to the FAQ generator.
I suggest you use either node.js or c# to develop the bot since these are directly supported by the framework. I am personally using c# to build my bot from the ground up. The purpose of mine is to be used within a customer facing android/ios app that will help with questions, checking the status of different things, and even paying bills.
Just remember you will need to manually set up your cloud hosting. I host mine in azure alongside a web interface I built for it (you can build the website inside your bot if you are using c#, just replace the default.htm file in the web.config with the main page of the interface).
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.
I'm making an app and I plan to have some cloud happening with it, but I do not want to create a user data base and have the users need to remember their username and password.
Since it will be distributed through the chrome app store it's basically guaranteed that the user will have a google account. All I want to do is:
Get the user's email through the google account stuff. If I get it through there, well then their email is all the authentication I need to get that user's data.
If I end up putting the application on something other than chrome browser, I'll just have the user use their email to request a validation link, and then I'll send them a validation code for that account, they put the validation code into the application, it takes that as a verified user, so that's secure and easy as well.
EDIT: I'm looking into this. So far I have:
OAuth 2
Google API
But I have a problem that I don't know what to set as my javascript origins in the Google API and there isn't too much info on this abroad. If anyone can tell me what javascript origins I need to set for a chrome extension to access google api it would be a great help.
PS: Thanks for down vote, this is why I love resorting to stack exchange.
Hmmm, I think the only reason this was voted down is the fact that this question may be been asked somewhere on the site already (but I'll help you and give give a 1up).
So what you are wanting to use the Google OpenID. You will have to register your application with Google so they can provide OAuth2 tokens for you application. I have not done this with Google but with other services and it is pretty easy, just search around.
In terms of obtaining OAuth2 for your application in the chrome extension - this can be a pain since the extension is sandboxed and Google's example uses OAuth not OAuth2.
Here is solution I host on GitHub for this - I also use this in my extension GitHub Repositories:
https://github.com/jjNford/oauth2-chrome-extension
Hope this helps in some way. Don't get discourages with StackOverflow, it is a great resource with many great contributors.
Good luck!
I had to up vote you too as I'm tracking down a related issue so here is what I've found that may help.
According to these directions - http://code.google.com/p/google-api-javascript-client/wiki/Authentication - "In the "Authorized JavaScript Origins" box, enter the protocol and domain for your site." This should be the protocol (http:// or https://) followed by any optional subdomain followed by your domain name and no trailing slash. Nothing after the domain name.
This prevents certain kind of security attacks, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy.
There are some related questions here that I found that may help:
Problems with Google Picker API and selecting Google Drive items and google apis console 'Javascript origins'.
Now with all of that said, I am still trying to track down what values to put in there for one of my sites hosted as a Google Site, as none of the obvious values are working for me. So there may be some subtlety there that I have missed in this explanation.
