I would like to build an app with a oral code verification.
i could just set my cde in dialogflow before then, juste verify it.
GH : "For continue, give me the code"
Me : " 1 2 3 4"
GH " Access granted" / "Access denied"
But how can do an input a get this code on dialogflow?
First of all - consider if you really want to do this. Having someone say a passcode out loud isn't really very secure and adds very little additional security in a multi-user environment.
There are two stages to this - the first is setting up an Intent to handle this, specifically in the format you want, and the second would be handling and verifying this is the correct code.
Setting up the Intent
We'll need two intents - one that prompts and sets a context so we know we're expecting the validation code, and one that checks for the code.
The prompting intent might look something like this:
The notable part here is that it is setting an output context. We'll see why that matters in a moment.
The one to handle numeric input might look like this:
There is a lot more to this one. First note that we're requiring an input context that matches the output context from the last Intent. This means that this Intent should only match if that Context has been set. This lets us talk about numbers elsewhere in our conversation without triggering this validation.
Next we're looking for sequences of numbers that match the #sys.number-sequence built-in Entity type. There are other entity types that may be useful for you - see the documentation for details and pick one that makes sense or experiment to find what works best in your case.
Finally, we're going to use a webhook for fulfillment to verify if the code is correct. Which is the next session...
Verifying the code
While there are ways to do the verification without a webhook, this is really the most straightforward way to do it. If you're using Google's library to handle input from Dialogflow, you can get the value with something like
var code = app.getArgument('number-sequence');
using whatever the parameter name is. If you're not using the library, you can find this in the JSON at result.parameters.number-sequence.
You would then verify this code, however you want, and return a message indicating if it is correct or not.
If you want to use a sequence of numbers as your code you can use the #sys.number-sequence entity to recognize it and then check the code in your webhook.
Another way would be to simply make a custom entity 'code' that has an entry of '1234'.

In our implementation of the Rules Engine we have a test form similar to Rule Test Form on the online demo on "Business Rules Engine Demo". What we would like to do is conditionally show only the Test Fields for the items in use in the rule. We are doing this by grabbing the rule.definition JSON from the ruleeditor then look for the items which we can conditionally create using AngularJS's ng-if directive. This works great with Fields. If the user selects a method, our method of parsing the string is failing. What it appears is the Field Names are stored in the JSON as plain text however the Method Names are not. Is there a way we can configure the control to either A not encrypt the method names or is there a way that we can tap into the encryption to identify if a method is in use in our rule? Thanks in advance.
Methods and actions can have overloads which the Code Effects rule editor supports. Therefore, we can't have multiple menu entries with the same name. Instead, we use a signature hash on all in-rule methods and rule actions regardless of whether it has an overload or not to make them unique on the client.
You need to have either the Full Source or the Editor Source license in order to change the code to either stop that hashing, or tap into the process, or implement it your own way. You don't have that option with any other Code Effects perpetual license.
I am gathering some context variables with slots, and they work just fine.
So I decided to do in another node of the conversation, check if one of these context variables is a specific number:
I was thinking on enabling multi-responses and check if, for example $dni:1 (it is an integer, pattern of 1 integer only), or if it is 2 or 3:
But this is not working. I was trying to solve it for some days with different approaches but I really cannot find a way through it.
My guess is that a context variable has a value, and you can print it to use it like responding with the user's name and stuff like that (which indeed is useful!), but comparing values is not possible.
Any insights on this I can receive?
Watson Assistant uses a short-hand syntax but also supports the more complex expressions. What you could do is to edit the condition in the JSON editor. There, for the condition, use a function like matches() on the value of the context variable.
Note that it is not recommended to check for context variables in the slot conditions. You can use multi-responses. An alternative way is to put the check into the response itself. There, you can use predicates to generate the answer.
<? context.dni==1 ? 'Very well' : 'Your number is not 1' ?>
You can nest the evaluation to have three different answers. Another way is to build an array of responses and use dni as key.
Instead of matching to specific integers, you could consider using the Numbers system entity. Watson Assistant supports several languages. As a benefit, users could answer "the first one", "the 2nd option", etc., and the bot still would understand and your logic could still route to the correct answer.
I'm trying to create a chat bot that will help users search up motorcycles.
I'm new to API.AI and have set up my entities and their synonyms, my intent and user expressions, as well as references to the entities (#engineSize, #make, #bikeType).
My problem is when I try to add a required action and prompt, and then try to save the intent, I get the following message:
"The following entities reference each other and form an infinite loop: [engineSize]."
Initially I thought I was using the references wrong in the user expressions. I deleted every reference except for one expression which uses all three entities.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Pix below for further details.
EDIT: I fixed one of the issues of trying to pass a template expression as an example. However, I still get the same error message. I will replace and update my image links to include the edits.
Annotated User expressions
Required Actions
Interestingly enough, the answer to this post would have been difficult to find because the problem was in defining my entities.
In the entity definitions, I included an #ref to the entity itself. ie the bikeType entity contained #bikeType as one of its definitions.
This is not to be mistaken with the User Expressions. As long as the user expression is marked as a Template (the entire line is denoted with an '#' on the far left, as opposed to a large " ), there should be no issues.
Edited for clarity to get at root problem
In the provided user input examples you give the intent, you are supposed to provide general examples and then highlight any text belonging to an entity to map where entities appear in user's inquiries.
In your case, you have input the actual entity reference '#engineSize' as an example belonging to the engineSize entity, creating a self reference.
A proper provided user example would look like:
Also note though that if you are just using entities to store generic information like numbers, addresses, times, etc. it generally makes far more sense to use prebuilt system entities for those categories than create a custom entity, for example #sys.number-integer might be exactly what you need
It looks like you need to get a firmer understanding of entities, for which I would recommend the documentation:

What's the correct "RESTful" URL for an action that adds a child record to a parent record?
For example, if I wanted to provide a URL for adding a "comment" record to an "order" record, how should I format it?
My first thought was something like:
PUT http://example.com/order/12345/comment/add
I work in Django, which uses a similar pattern, so this seemed most intuitive. However, reading over some RESTful design guides like this one suggests that this might be bad practice, as they argue the "PUT" and "add" are redundant and therefore might create confusion.
I would do the following:
POST http://example.com/order/12345/comment
The put action and the add part of the url are redundant. But there is no hard rule on any of this. I see apis having that form, even from major vendors, and sometimes simply remark "The put action and the uri segment are redundant" Sometimes I say nothing at all and just call the endpoint. If I were writing an api, I would probably leave off the add part.
there are few points to make your request RESTful:
1) Use resources names in the URL in plural and not in a singular form (orders instead of order)
2) never use ACTION names in your URL such as (ADD) in "comment/add"
3) since you are adding a "NEW" comment without knowing any IDs of hands you should use POST request.
Finally, the URL I would recommend is:
HttpVerbs = POST
http://api.example.com/orders/12345/comments
That should add a new comment to your order#12345
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to your question. Rest URLs can be whatever you want them to be. At the end of the day, they are routes that get mapped to a method. I wouldn't worry too much about the "best" URL. I prefer to find a standard that works for me and then move on to bigger, more important things. As long as clients know what the URL is, they will be fine.
I'm trying to provide my QA team a list of available sentences in JBehave based on methods annotated with Given, When, Then, and Alias. As follows:
Then $userName is logged in.
Then user should be taken to the "$pageTitle"
I recently wrote a simple script to do this. Before I put more work into it I wanted to be sure there wasn't something better out there.
For one there is the Eclipse integration for JBehave, which offers code completion, thus providing all steps directly from the code ( http://jbehave.org/eclipse-integration.html ). Note that it doesn't go through dependent .jars though - only what it can find in the source tree.
i.e, enter "Given", hit Ctrl+Space and get all the available given steps.
But there has also been some work parsing the run results with a "Story Navigator" ( http://paulhammant.com/blog/introducing-story-navigator.html ), which offers a listing of the steps. But I'm not sure whether it can list unused steps; Furthermore this one seems more like a proof of concept to me (I wasn't able to make proper use of it).
