Best way to use bot analytics providers?
Since this gem creates a new message object different from the incoming payload, I was wondering whether anybody had thoughts on best way to integrate with bot analytics vendors?
Below is the json data that needs to be passed to typical vendors like dashbot.io via REST.
INCOMING
{
"object": "page",
"entry": [
{
"id": "943703799078240",
"time": 1483257600000,
"messaging": [
{
"sender": {
"id": "1018952661536494"
},
"recipient": {
"id": "943703799078240"
},
"timestamp": 1483257600000,
"message": {
"mid": "mid.1468531733396:9242db91fea253e355",
"seq": 978,
"text": "Hi, bot"
}
}
]
}
]
}
OUTGOING
{
"qs": {
"access_token": "<YOUR ACCESS TOKEN>"
},
"uri": "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages",
"json": {
"message": {
"text": "Hello, my human pet"
},
"recipient": {
"id": "975099989272315"
}
},
"method": "POST",
"responseBody": {
"recipient_id": "975099989272315",
"message_id": "mid.1470371655004:4727480467538e9450"
}
}
Oh, cool, I never thought of this. You can get at the original object at message.messaging
, though, so you can pass it to the analytics service in your code using that.
I'll leave this open and tag accordingly if someone wants to add it to the README.
