Jovo with Messanger - jovo-framework

I'm recently started to use Jovo framework to build the App for Google Home device based on Dialogflow. The app is working fine. Now decided to do the integration with Facebook Messenger via Dialogflow. It's working fine. I can trigger the bot to start from the Messenger plus can see the output and so on but have two questions:
the output in FB messenger looks like this: [speak]Some text inside[/speak],
can we remove the SSML tags from the output, is there a way to strip
those tags before tell() or ask() methods are triggered, I have tried
using the this.googleAction().setResponseObject() method, have
checked how to response JSON looks like and then created the object
to pass with the property fulfillmentText, where I removed those
tags, it works that way but this is not efficient and looking for sth simpler
is there a method to use, sth like setResponseObject() but without alexaSkill() or googleAction "prefix" obj, where we can prepare a custom object so we can send custom JSON response. I'm asking cause I want to use FB Messenger specific output like buttons: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/send-messages/buttons. Is this is possible using JOVO

Since the release of Jovo v2.1 (read the announcement here), you can build Facebook Messenger chatbots with Jovo using Dialogflow Integrations.
Regarding your questions:
1) This is fixed with the latest update
2) You can set custom payloads with the new this.$dialogflow.setCustomPayload('facebook', payload) helper method

Understand Dynamic Links Firebase

I would like to understand better Firebase Dynamic Links because i am very new to this subject.
What i would like to know :
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() is supposed to return "only" the last dynamic link created with the "initial" url (before it was shorten) ?
Or why FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() doesn't take a String url as a parameter ?
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getDynamicLink(String url) doesn't read custom parameters if the url was shorten, so how can we retrieve custom parameters from a shorten link ?
My use case is quite simple, i am trying to share an object through messages in my application, so i want to save the dynamic link in my database and be able to read it to run a query according to specific parameters.
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() returns the link that opened the app and if the app was not opened by a dynamic link, then it will return null.
Future<PendingDynamicLinkData?> getInitialLink()
Attempts to retrieve the dynamic link which launched the app.
This method always returns a Future. That Future completes to null if
there is no pending dynamic link or any call to this method after the
the first attempt.
https://pub.dev/documentation/firebase_dynamic_links/latest/firebase_dynamic_links/FirebaseDynamicLinks/getInitialLink.html
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() does not accept a string url as parameter because it is just meant to return the link that opened the app.
Looks like there's no straightforward answer to getting the query parameters back from a shortened link. Take a look at this discussion to see if any of the workarounds fit your use case.

Watson Conversation and Facebook Messenger Rich-Text

How to use facebook message templates to offer a rich-text as integrating buttons, images, lists and other facebook messenger features in Watson. I'm following Facebook Messenger Developer but I don't know where should I insert the appropriate code? In the JSON editor of watson conversation or in the bot-facebook.js of botkit?
I tried this in the JSON editor of watson conversation but it does not work:

You will need an orchestration layer to handle the encoding to the desired platform format, you then create an action within the middleware to handle this response. e.g FB messenger requires an object to be passed such as
"buttons":[
{
"type":"web_url",
"url":"https://petersfancyapparel.com/criteria_selector",
"title":"Select Criteria",
"webview_height_ratio": "full",
"messenger_extensions": true,
"fallback_url": "https://petersfancyapparel.com/fallback"
}
]
An example orchestration layer such as Botkit, or a better alternative Botmaster can be used alongside its extension fulfill that will allow you to create these objects and in the Watson dialog simply just add custom XML tags. E.g www.google.com this will then be passed to the orchestration layer which will send the relevant object. A code example using this method can be found here with some other Facebook actions.

Bosun: Save Information using post url and the get the same information and use it in template

We have a notification which will post data to an application using the application end point.
notification ABC{
post = savedetailsurl
body = {{.|json}}
useBody = true
}
So the end point will save all the details in mysql DB.
Now in our template we call another end point to get the details which we saved using the webhook in notification.
template ABC {
use the " getDetailsUrl" and use the details in forming the email
}
Now the problem is race condition. Sometimes the details are not saved yet in the backend (mysql), and getDetailsUrl is called. So we get the empty result.
Is there are way to solve the race condition.
Bosun's notification system is designed to be very basic. If you want something more advanced you will need to use a separate system to generate the notification details and/or handle the alert workflow. Some people have used pagerduty or other monitoring systems like Shinken to do more advanced notifications or alert management.
Your best bet is to skip the built in notifications and do everything in a external system. You can still use the http://bosun.org/api to integrate with the various alert states (crit/warn/ack/close/etc) or you can change your alerts to use log = true to bypass all the built in states and create your own workflow.

How can I attach a custom form to a Workfront user with the API?

I have a requirement to insert new Workfront users through the API, which I am able to do. However, I need to update a Custom Form item with an employee id. With a new user, the Custom Form must be attached before the employee id can be update. I am using the following url to attach the form:
https://<url>/attask/api/user/<userguid>?sessionID=<sessionid>&updates={'objectCategories':[{'categoryID': '225845d1800010d52527455df2a27f0fe2','categoryOrder':0,'objCode':'CTGY'}]}&method=put
The result is a HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Is it even possible to attach a Custom Form to a user? Or is there another way that it can be done through the API?
For reference, I had to work through the exact same question. You are correct in your update that you need to use the most recent version of the API (as of this post, that would be 6.0) but for others who are wondering, the syntax is as follows:
https://<url>/attask/api/v6.0/USER/<userID>?apiKey=<key>&updates={"objectCategories":[{"categoryID":"<customFormID>","categoryOrder":0,"objCode":"CTGY"}]}&method=put

Log in to website using Jsoup

I'm trying to scrap a webpage for data but came across the problem of needing to log in.
Connection.Response loginForm = Jsoup.connect("http://www.rapidnyc.net/users/google_login")
.method(Connection.Method.GET)
.execute();
Document document = Jsoup.connect("http://www.rapidnyc.net/users/google_login")
.data("Email", "testEmail")
.data("Passwd", "testPass")
.... //other form data
.cookies(loginForm.cookies())
.post();
This gives me the org.jsoup.HttpStatusException: HTTP error fetching URL. Status=400
I used chrome developer tool to look at the Form data being posted but nothing I post works.
1. Have you submitted ALL input fields? Including HIDDEN ones.
2. I see the website requires "captcha-box" authentication, which is to prevent web crawlers from logging in. I highly doubt you will be able to log in with your program.
I say the 400 status is coming from your program not being able to provide the value for "captcha" authentication.
