Shall I mention the deep links in the sample invocation in the directory page? - actions-on-google

I am making an action for google assistant.I have created some deep links so should I mention them in the sample invocations in the directory information? I also want the users to see the first welcome screen that is the default welcome intent and not directly jump to the other intents for the first time.I cannot decide what to do.Can someone please help me with this?

Showing them in your examples lets people know that the feature is possible.
If you really don't want to allow it when they first start - you can intercept the "deep link" at invocation time and send back a reply welcoming them first and explaining things, then either letting them do it or letting them do it in the future.

SurveyMonkey survey as in-page overlay/modal/lightbox

I've searched the SurveyMonkey website, both help... and developer..., as well as the general net and stackoverflow, and can't find any examples of a SurveyMonkey survey being displayed in an in-page overlay (referred to by some as a "lightbox" or modal).
I think what I need to use is SurveyMonkey's Embed option, as opposed to Invitation or Survey Popups:
http://help.surveymonkey.com/articles/en_US/kb/How-do-I-embed-a-survey-or-have-it-open-in-a-popup-window-on-my-site
I'd like that overlay div to appear, close, etc upon the same triggers as a regular survey would/could, that is open if the user has no previous SurveyMonkey cookie, close when completed or closed by user, etc.
I can probably hack through a solution by forcing the survey into a custom overlay I build, but the behaviors would be more tricky, probably having to read the SurveyMonkey cookie, I suppose. Or, perhaps I could check for certain IDs of SurveyMonkey content that exists at various stages to pull off the behaviors (but I'll have to look at the generated code throughout the process to know if this is an option).
In short, it seems like someone else has surely run into this issue before and likely that a solution has already been created, at least partial to save me some time. I just can't find it.
Here are some things I found on the embed itself:

Any and all help much appreciated, pointers/resources, example code, etc. Thanks!

Django Custom Admin Popup

I need to resend an email to a user in case the user requests it, from the back-end.
I want to handle the logic in a separate template than the one I trigger the view from.
I figured using a Pop-up would be the best approach for this, but Django doesn't seem to provide any documentation on this.
I have checked out a few posts similar to what I am looking for like, http://www.hoboes.com/Mimsy/hacks/replicating-djangos-admin/ , but they are either too old or too different.
I would really appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
I rolled my own version using guidelines from this links, Open link in Popup Window with Javascript. I hope somebody else finds it helpful.

Is it possible to add a custom parameter in a Open Graph story with a common action?

We're working on a fitness application where people run and carry out a physical activity for the community as part of a workout.
For example, on Wednesday, Axel ran 5.6km and helped dig a wild flower garden.
We want to build an easy way for users to share these stories on their timelines in Facebook with a map of the course they ran and a sentance that describes the activity. We've opted to use the fitness.runs common action and can provide the course information easily enough, however it's not clear if or how we can add a custom parameter task in the sentence. Ideally the story (with accompanied map) would read:
*Axel* ran *5.6* km to *help dig a wild flower garden* with GoodGym.
Any advice on how to get that working would be greatly appreciated.
I do not think this is possible. Looking at both the run action and the course object you cannot add custom properties. For example, when you go to configure the run action you see the following message at the top "Common Action Type: Run You are viewing the configuration options for the common Action Type: Run. These are read only and are displayed for informational purposes only."
However you might want to consider using User Messages which "allow users to write a personalized message attached to this action." Then you could encourage users to write something about what they helped to do.

How does the Google adsense works?

can you tell me, how does the Google Ad sense works?
please explain me in brief..
There's quite a bit of information available from Google on the subject.
You want to know how to "use" it? or its algorithms? For the first one, they have a page for that, for the later one, I don't think you will even be able to figure it out:)
You place a javascript code in your site, and whenever someone visits your site, Google puts an ad in place. If the user clicks the add, you get money for it.
I assume your question is orientated around Google's contextual targeting.
In brief: Google sends a bot to read each page of your website. It looks at all the terms on the page and discards common words and instead tries to understand themes. Google also looks at adgroups of AdWords advertisers and looks to build an understanding of the themes of the keywords. Another algorithm pairs the two together so that relevant ads appear on a webpage.

what is the default pop up replacement now?

I know pop ups are not good and should be avoided if possible but is that really true that now, whenever i think of using a pop up, i should always be considering other options? Are there any exceptions? And the last question is: what is the default replacement for pop ups?
You can use any javascript based dialog. Look for example at jQuery UI Dialog
The "Web2.0" pop-up might be a lightbox. I hope these are just a passing fad, because they are kind of annoying (a lot like pop-ups).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightbox_(JavaScript)
Banners, like you get at the top of Stack Overflow to tell you about badges, comments, see the FAQ if you're a new user are my favorite. They don't really get in the way and can link to the main content.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Pop-ups are completely acceptable in certain contexts. The aversion to pop-ups arose from having pop-up foisted on users in the form of advertisements. I think that pop-ups are still a valid device in the correct case.
My rule of thumb is to not make any decisions for the user that they can make themselves. This typically includes opening a pop-up since they could right-click and choose "open link in new window" if they so desired.
Do you want to capture of a piece of user input without allowing any further interaction? A modal dialog is your friend.
there are cases where you want to offer a bit of useful info or a quick reference that doesn't necessitate closing off the rest of the web page or navigating to a different location. This could be addressed using some javascript and floating div's but many times a pop-up will do what you want without being obtrusive to a user.
I tend to read resources from the likes of 37 signals and UIE to keep up with the best ways to enhance user experience without alienating a user.
