Little help needed

[leovarmak]

Hey,
I am trying to make a bot following this. But there seems to be few errors. Can you please take a look at it. Please help me out

I'm also having issues with postbacks. The example repo seems to have removed how posts backs in buttons are fired.

Edit. I seemed to have figured this out. In the example: [Random Fact](postback:random_fact)

(postback:random_fact) does not fire a response from the bot.
[Random Fact] The text between these "[]" needs ro be identical to the response.

Your response would look like this:

"RANDOM FACT":"Response from bot";

@Rfitz9 The link is broken !

I've found the answer to the question about postbacks in issue 1: actionbuttons,

[Lukejsmith-yeahtips]

I have the bot up and running but I can't get it to synch or deploy to github for editing the jason script.https://lukebot.herokuapp.com/ I have it set up for auto deploy but it never deployed to git hub and I don't know where to edit the script file.

[kazekagekorosu]

@Lukejsmith-yeahtips maybe you missed some step? I'd check the autodeploy in heroku from github step again? or go back further, checking the api key from smooch.io is copied correctly to heroku and heroku is linked to YOUR github account.
Ahh! also I never got the heroku link to work either... I copied the insert code from smooch.io and set it up on a free weebly i got, by inserting that code in to the header of a page. You might want to try that too.

[Lukejsmith-yeahtips]

Good advice and going to try a bunch of installs and see if I can get it
working I figure I missed a step as well. Also looks like I need a lot of
software on my Mac to get the terminal up and running - I am not a
developer by the way but willing to try this to hack my resume.

[rfitzpatrickCO]

Check your config settings on heroku. One step I think should be more clear is that when you paste your KEY ID, don't include the "app_" part.
And you shouldn't need any additional software for your Mac to get this running either. I'm not a developer either, but I've been able to edit my bot directly within github.
If you do want to download an editor, try out Github's Atom - it's great!

Thanks for this - I finally got everything sorted and am now able to make updates using the command line and also using Github Desktop. Having a blast now working on the bot conversation and look forward to going live on SMS and a few other channels.

Hey everybody, I'm still having issues to get the imported bot going. I assume there are some issues with the api-setting or script, cuz neither seems to be running. The auto-deploy works, for example when I change something in the view file, it'll update the header of the html-code.
https://bot-chat.herokuapp.com/

I added the KEY ID without the app_-part, so not what's the problem. Does anybody has a clue, what I missed? Help is much appreciated :-)

[Lukejsmith-yeahtips]

First off relax - and don't beat yourself up over this. Try a new install and follow the instructions to the letter sometimes that works best - I did the steps a few times and ultimately got things working from using the terminal and github desktop and it's been smooth sailing since.

Hi guys, I'm trying to install the bot but have some issues.
I created a Smooch account and then linked just my telegram account (I previously created a bot on telegram as well).
Then I created an Heroku account, followed all the steps, inserted the key without the app_ part but still got "Application Error" when I launch the app, as you can see here: https://mauriziocassano.herokuapp.com

If I read the log from heroku, I see an error on the field NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL=error but not sure how to handle it. I'll paste here the log... do you have any idea how to solve it? Thank you!

I tried the Smooch bot sample and actually it works!

So I tried to use the EstherBot on my HD, cloning it and makes it work by installing npm as stated in the Smooch Bot readme file. It works on my local machine with "node console" command, but I'm not able to push it on Heroku and make it works.

I think in the EsterBot files probably there is this npm thing that is missing...

[rahul-thakoor]

similar problem! somethings is broken! i followed the tutorial to the letter! im able to use smooch bot example, it returns the script in messages(web). however using the script.js and script.json breaks everything. i tried a lot of times with different combinations such as forking smooch example then just changing script.js etc however as soon as i change i get "application error". any clue? i believe using the json version is easier.

[nigelburke]

Are you config variables on the heroku settings pages like this?
