I created an intent for my item selling store with name "Order". I want to ask user if he wants the item to be picked up or get delivered.
if he is picking up then i do not need to capture his address. In my current implementation I created two required paramaters named "OrderType" and "deliveryAddress"
so the question is how do i skip deliveryAddress capture if value of OrderType is pickup ?
Please note that I am using fb messenger as a channel so the value of orderType would be coming from FB.
Wanted to put this as a comment but do not have 50 reps required for commenting.
Hence putting this as an answer though it is just a workaround and not the right solution.
I had faced a similar issue and achieved it by giving a default value to the required parameter. And then comparing in my fulfillment logic whether the value is default or else it would have been via user input. Not the right way but just a work around if no one replies with the right solution.

I have a form request and i want to let someone edit only his own request except from me and my team that we can always edit. So I need to set edit button visible only for my team and the original creator of the form. I used the user.email to get the email of the user who uses the app but I cant use equality netween this variable and the data card value as its incompatible user type. Text with table. How can i get the email in the data card and compare it to the users email?
actually it's quite easy, your requestorEmail should be coming from some datasource like sharepoint record or datavererse or so on.
You can get current record and then it's property requestorEmail convert it to Text using Text function.
you could also try ThisItem.requestorEmail and with text function you can do so.
Ms Docs should help
In addition if you could show/add code for your requestorEmail data card, I can try to provide exact function to extract email. but above info should lead you in correct direciton
I used on change action of the datacard and used set global variable varUserEmail to thisitem.requestoremail . Then i set the button visible if the user email = varUserEmail.Email . So in this way everytime the email changes to the email that is supposed to edit the request the buttons are visible for editing or deleting the report.
I'm doing a project where the Google Assistant generates a list of cards about information on research articles. Each card on the list would have the title and URL to the research article. The Google Assistant would ask what subject you wants to research about and the user would reply with the subject matter in one or two words. I have the following questions
I understand that the app.buildList() command requires an alias and key variable. Could I level them as blank or null in my code because I don't think I need them
If the user clicks on the URL in a card, will the browser automatically open the link? I remember reading that Google must filter and approve URLs in Google assistant apps
Any help would be appreciated
You should probably populate the relevant fields for each API call in order to handle various types of user inputs. The key is used to identify the item that is being said. If a list is shown, you will need to use the key to identify which is clicked. The user may click on the list item to select it. However, they could also say the thing they want. That is where the aliases are useful.
Let's say you were grabbing a list of scholarly articles. While long articles may not lend themselves well to voice, it could be designed like:
function list () {
const app = new DialogflowApp({request, response});
app.askWithList('Alright! Here are some articles about memristors! Which do you want?',
// Build a list
app.buildList('Memristor Research')
// Add the first item to the list
.addItems(app.buildOptionItem('TITLE_OF_FIRST_PAPER',
['title of first paper', 'first'])
.setTitle('Title of First Paper')
.setDescription('S. Smith, Ph. D')
// Add the second item to the list
.addItems(app.buildOptionItem('TITLE_OF_SECOND_PAPER',
['title of second paper', 'second'])
.setTitle('Title of Second Paper')
.setDescription('H. Paul, Ph. D')
)
);
}
In this snippet, if I say I want the first article, it will give me that one without me having to give the full title while still keeping the interaction hands-free. The key will let me identify the article that should be read.
You can use the title of the paper or perhaps the link URL in order to handle it and present a card with more information including the URL.
You do not need to have each URL manually approved. The documentation states:
Links to sites outside the developer's domain are allowed.
Link text cannot be misleading. This is checked in the approval process.
As long as you are being straightforward about it, users will be able to directly open the paper in a browser by clicking on the link in the card.
More information is available in the documentation
You can create list in action on google should have minimum of two values and maximum of 30 values.

I am making an Action in Zapier for my App.
I have two fields where only one needs to be filled.
For eg: The user can either enter the email or phoneNumber but not both.
So I cant use the 'Required' attribute because it will ask user to enter both.
I couldnt find a solution in the Zapier Documentation also.
Kindly Help
Thanks
David from the Zapier Platform team here.
The best way to do this is mark neither field as required, but include help text for each field that mentions that either one or the other is needed.
Then, before you make your request, verify that a || b is true. If it's not, throw an error telling the user they have to supply either.
Hope that clears it up!
Is it possible to receive the previous message that the user have send to the chatbot (without using quick replies or postback buttons). Example:
User: "Can you call a friend?"
Bot: "Who should I call?"
User: "Tim"
In the API I now have just the information "Tim", without knowing if I should call him or text him or make him a sandwich or whatever. So I basically I want to add some Postbackdata or metadata additionally to the text "Can you call a friend" (intent: 'CALL'), so the message "Tim" will come with that data.
Is there a way without storing the data into a database? AWS Lambda with ClaudiaJs.
I found the metadata field in the FB API which turns out to be the wrong field for that since it is only for communicating between several apps?!
What you are looking for a called a "slot-based bot", or slot-filling, basically meaning that you have a "slot", or blank that needs to be filled in before your bot can perform an action. In your example you have two slots: action and person
Actions could be: call, text, message
Person: name of a person, friend, etc.
I don't think any of the message frameworks (Slack, Facebook, etc) will provide you with the information you need. You will need to build this logic out yourself.
You can look at using wit.ai stories to achieve this.
Look to this similar Stack Overflow question and answer.
You can reverse order of conversation, and at beginning user writes some text or send you something else. After receiving, you should send to user buttonsTemplate, where postbacks will be like "CallTo&Tim" where instead of Tim you can put every text you need to pass to next executor(and you also can store previous user message here). Than just make substring of postback, check it`s type and do whatever you want.
project type is MVC2. Let say that i have page1. after success it write somethink to row and get new inserted row id and redirect to another page and sends row id as parameter. and user can see this parameter on querystring. and can change it. i think so taht it is problem in some situation(pages). i use for it a hidden input and after post checking parameter from query string with hidden input value. if they are not equal then writing in to log and redirectiong to error page. does my way is correct. or have a good methods.
thanks...
Exposing IDs like this is pretty standard and is what lets browser bookmarking of specific items work. Your job is to ensure that the user can only see and modify records that they should be able to.
If the user does some URL-hacking and enters the URL to an item they are not allowed to see or modify, you can either just kick them back to the parent page, or give an Access Denied message, depending upon the app/context.
The bottom line is never trust user input, including hidden form parameters.
