Is it possible to create a bot that can connect two people (assume they're already registered with the bot) together by starting a group chat with the two of them?
If not, I'm open to alternate solutions to allow a bot to connect a human user with another human user, if anyone knows one.
Group chat is not supported. As an alternative you can build a chat extension which allows you to make some of your functionality available in group chat, including allowing multiple people to utilize shared resources. For examples, look at chat extensions that are already in the discover tab.

Is there any way that we can collect data by asking the questions when someone wants to join the group. And we collect the data when we approve the joining request or sometimes programmatically?
Could you please elaborate on how we can use Facebook GRAPH API for fulfilling the above purpose?
Check out GroupTrack CRM...it's a CRM that is integrated into Facebook via a Chrome Extension. It does exactly what you asked (one click to approve individual or all pending members while also saving their answers to your questions and adding them to the CRM), along with a ton of other awesome stuff.
Keep notes and tags, track sales funnel stages, bookmark posts and comments, set follow up tasks with reminders, and more across unlimited Groups. Everything is synced in real time with a web app as well, so you can access your contact information from anywhere, plus it can be set up to integrate with external systems (Google Sheets, Streak, and Kartra at the moment, but many more to come).
Lastly, GroupTrack supports teams, so if you run a Group with other admins, you can share access to the CRM and have everything kept in sync. It's awesome!
After developing the Hangout chat bot I could see the steps to publish and distribute by listing on marketplace
I'm wondering if there's a way to distribute the bot privately to other gsuite domains without actually creating the bot and configure it in that domain's cloud console?
From my knowledge through the API configuration this is not possible without setting it up in your own domain. If you try and connect to a Google script outside of your domain, it will give you a domain error. (see fake example below)
You also cannot add specific users outside of your domain to have access to the bot.
However, if you want your bot to be public for everyone please see here: https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/gsm-list
But referencing another bot in another domain does not seem to be possible otherwise.
I need to include chat, in my application. People sign in the chat and create their user and chat to other users. However it needs to be like facebook chat or pingchat where you add friends you want to talk to.
Can anyone give me pointers to what i need to do? I've heard about xmpp servers but not sure if that is the right thing for my app. Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Is your app going to create new users, and add them in the chat list, or going to use existing users (like Gtalk, Y! Messenger etc) on existing protocols (like IRC, XMPP etc)...?
If you are going to implement your own chat system, where your users are registering in your website, then you are going to do these things:
Setup your website
Create a protocol (that's, how you pass messages)
Write and implement an API (in PHP, ASP etc)
Connect that API with your iPhone app.
How it works?
You keep a table of chat messages. The table include:
Chat_From
Chat_To
Chat_Message
Timestamp
All what you do is, when you start a Chat session from Alice to Bob, you just enter them in the table. Next, you fetch the row from the Web Server to your App, by calling your PHP file (say, http://mychatserver.com/getChat.php) based on the condition SELECT CHAT_MESSAGE FROM CHAT_TABLE WHERE CHAT_FROM="ALICE" AND CHAT_TO="BOB";. This message is displayed in your App.
This process should be performed repeatedly, with an interval of, say 1 sec.
I hope you got this idea.
I am developing a XMPP chat with XIFF library using Flex.
My problem is I want to develop a customer service chat system. When user enter my program they will only see one service man and service man will see all users.
When I tried with XIFF, I developed small chat program like google talk. First, users need to to add buddy. Second, users need to go Multiuser chat room (but Multiuser chat room will see all participants).
Can any one give me an idea or approach to success?
Thanks in advance
using single chat and multiple connection.
If User==Service Man => send chat to all users one-by-one
If User!=Service Man => Send chat to Service Man
I am working on a social network that should allow members to chat with visitors on the site. The concept is simple.
Users who have registered signup get their own account with rosters
When a visitor comes to the home page of the social network, he can see some of the online members of the community
Now he should be able to initiate a chat with them, by clicking on their name.
I have already got members to chat with their roster mates. My question is, how can I get an anonymous user to chat with a member and exchange presence info with him?
I have successfully managed to create anonymous accounts, members accounts and even send messages from an anonymous user to other members. But I cant get presence information from anonymous-user to member or vice versa?
BTW, the chat is JS based.
You're trying to break the XMPP model. Presence is an opt-in permission based system. You ask me if you can see my presence, I say yes. Generally my client will then automatically ask you if I can see your presence, and your client says yes. That's what the roster is -- yes's and no's to presence subscription requests.
You can make chat rooms (MUC, multi user chat) that are anonymous, as well as do presence in them. It's not a roster, though. It's the closest to what you're describing without going into crazy-land with pubsub, and I don't know if you could even bend that tool far enough to have anonymous roster entries.
