We have a specific workflow for invite/reject/ban channels for users.
1) I need to retrieve the list of channels user invited to, so that he can select some now and accept/reject it or do it later
2) When a user rejected invite - we need another query to be able to show such channel to a user, so that he can accept it.
3) Push notification preferences, so that users can decide to receive or not push notification when he/she invited to a new channel.
I've checked docs https://getstream.io/chat/docs/#channel_invites, but the only covers how to send invites, and accept/reject. Nothing about how to display the list. And here https://getstream.io/chat/docs/#query_channels no pre-defined invites key for such cases.
As far as I can see, there is only one option so far: add a custom field for every invited person with. But it doesn't seem to be the right way to handle it
When you use the query channels API endpoint we do not return channels with pending invitations.
You can query channels based on their invite status:
Channels the user rejected:
const invites = client.queryChannels({
invite: 'rejected',
});
Channels with a pending invitation:
const invites = client.queryChannels({
invite: 'pending',
});
Note: You can also combine the invite field in your query as you would normally do for any other channel field.

We are building an internal bot to monitor / control our software. It is NOT exposed to the public and will be used by other team members, either directly (as a direct chat) or through a few channels depending which side of the software is on topic.
The bot should do two things:
reply to commands; the reply should go to the user that originated it.
send notices to all users / channels it is involved in.
When a message arrives, I can get the channel id and the user id; while the user id is kind of guaranteed to exist for while, what is the situation with the channel?
Can I store the channel id and broadcast messages to all channels the bot is involved in? what happens if a channel is closed? do channel ids have lifetimes?
I can't really find anything online about the best practice regarding this scenario.
I have doubt Understand what you want but it seems better know these things :
ID's are unique in Telegram and even in all others applications so
they are lifetime
Channel ID , Groups ID , User ID have same behavior but their difference is on their integer. (User ID's are Positive but channels and groups are Negative. check example here)
Users can just send message in channels that they have admin permission in it right? Bots are same. so if your bot isn't admin anymore , the Telegram gives you error in response and you can check it and after facing that error delete that channel ID in your channels list.
I hope this information help you but if you have any other question feel free to leave a comment and I'll update the post and answer you immediately.
So I am testing out Dialogflow and one of the first questions I have is: how does my bot know who it is talking to? I need to identify a user and keep that information for as long as I can. The basic scenario being:
User starts his/her first conversation.
Chatbot send a fulfillment request to the server trying to match a user within its own database.
The user is found, the information (as a JWT or some other token) is sent back to Dialogflow and stored there for further communication. In reality, this part would involve asking for user email, sending a verification code to that email and then verifying the user with the code.
User then starts chatting with a bot and all fulfillment requests get the unique token stored for this very user, so that my REST API knows which user is being served with the response.
Couldn't find anything about it in the docs (maybe I am looking in the wrong places).
There will be several integrations, like Messenger, Viber, Telegram. I dunno, maybe those APIs add some unique information on the user?...
Thanks for the help!
Sorry, I know it's been a while, but maybe this will help someone else.
The right solution here is a user id, not a session id. A user id is provided by the chat platform (Facebook, Slack etc) and is consistent across sessions for the same user.
To get the user id, go to the Fulfillment tab, enable the editor and use a function like so:
let r = request.body.originalDetectIntentRequest
//this makes sure that you're on an integration
if (r["source"]){
return r.payload.data.sender.id;
}
To tie together ids from different platforms, you probably have to have some kind of log-in process every time you encounter a new id on a platform.
Pop,
Sessions are built in already into DialogFlow requests to your fulfilment service, if you check the payload you will find a sessionId, it remains the same for the same client until it expires.
However if you want to identify the user from any of the clients that you can connect to DialogFlow like Messenger then from the same request payload to you you will notice that there is an object named originalRequest that is only available when requests are coming from those clients.
You can personalize those users response eg using their FB firstname in a message to them.

General send message parameters
I am trying to send message to viber from Postman. I don't know how to find Unique Viber user id, that parameter is required.
I am getting this error:
{"status":999,"status_message":"Bad receiver ID","message_token":5126721184521938239}
Danny Dainton mentioned the docs on how you can get data including unique ID about your own account not about somebody else!
You'll receive callbacks containing user unique ID to your webhook if a user subscribes to your public account, and ONLY THEN you'll be able to send message to that user.
As per viber docs:
The send_message API allows accounts to send messages to Viber users who subscribe to the account. Sending a message to a user will be possible only after the user has subscribed to the Public Account by pressing the subscribe button or by sending a message, or by sending a message to a bot (see subscribed callback for additional information).
and VERY IMPORTANT
Before an account can send messages to a user, the user will need to
subscribe to the account. Subscribing can take place in one of two
ways:
User sends message to the account (both Public Accounts and bots)
when a user sends its first message to a account the user will be
automatically subscribed to the account. Sending the first message
will not trigger a subscribe callback, only a message callback (see
receive message from user section). Subscribed event is sent to the
Public Account (Public Accounts only)
user clicks a subscribe button
which triggers the subscribe callback as described below.
Simple, just call the Get Account Info API, whose resource URL is https://chatapi.viber.com/pa/get_account_info
You will find the a list of all subscribers in the response along with their user IDs. Please note that these user IDs are unique per user per public account.
Correction: It seems like the Get Account Info API does not return all subscribers, it just returned for me my user ID (the admin of the public account). Based on this, there is no way to get the user IDs of your subscribers other than from the callbacks for new subscribers, messages, ...etc.
Normally you should collect Viber IDs from all callbacks and store in DB for future use. But if you missed that step you can collect Viber IDs of online subscribed users by periodic call to get_online endpoint and then use get_user_details endpoint to get more info about unknown ones.
Requirments:
1- Have a feed of posts that aggregate all posts of multi channels
2- have actions (bot command) on each post
3- When post of channel edited, correspondent post in the telegram bot edited too.
(If it is not possible, I want to know is it possible to edit a message that was sent to multiple recipients in one action or i have to change each of them by message id, chat id)
You can assume you are owner of all these channels and you set your bot as admin of all of them
Only creator/admins can add bots to channels and only as admins.
Bots (for now) can't read messages in channels.
Bots (for now) can't view any counters in channels.
So no such bot for now :(
I'm trying to send a message, on behalf of a user, to a subset of their google+ friends.
Right now, I can get a list of google+ friends
Separately I can get a list of their contacts' email addresses.
Is there a way to match up the two? Or is there a better way of sending this message to their contacts?
