How can I hide past conversation messages when launching the smooch messenger? - smooch

https://github.com/smooch/smooch-web
I can't find any method to disable the past conversation from the smooch-web documentation.

There's no specific method to "disable the past conversation" as of v4.12.13. However, there are ways to achieve this functionality as outlined in the Smooch documentation https://docs.smooch.io/guide/clearing-conversations/#clearing-conversations.

google hangout chat can bots message bots?

I have a use scenario where I'm testing a bot in google hangout. To facilitate testing of multiple users, I'd like to create a series of other bots that replicate the functions of users. But this is all dependent on the bots in the room listening to one another. It also requires that I get the userid of the bots so they can name each other. In Google Scripts I can find no way to retrieve that (the rest API is not an option).
Any suggestions?
The information is documented, but I understand GCP docs aren't the easiest to navigate. According to the Event Format reference: "Only messages from "real", non-bot users are delivered to bots. A bot will never receive messages posted by itself or by a different bot."
So the answer to the question appears to be no. Bots do not appear to be able to talk to each other. When you put the userid in the text property of the bot it does not replace it to an #botname as it does with human users. If anyone can figure out another way to do it I would appreciate it.
But the second question of where to get the bots userid I can now answer and I leave here in case anyone else is curious. This appears only in a message event, when a bot is mentioned as the property event.message.annotations[0].userMention.user.name

How to send alerts in APIC Test and Monitor?

On the introduction page for the 'APIC Test and Monitor tool' one of the listed features is 'Get alerts on your API Health'. However once inside the tool I can't find any reference on how to generate alerts...
Is it already possibble? Or just an idea for the future?
Great question, thank you for asking. You are absolutely right, we are working on shipping notification/alerts as a pluggable ecosystem. We are building a fully featured API and Webhooks, any platform that leverages an API can be used, as well as email and SMS.
Out of the box we will provide the most popular plugins such as the following:
Slack
BigPanda
HipChat
StatusPage.io
JIRA
Twilio
DataDog
New Relic
Elastic
You will also be able to create alert groups, ex. specific tests/monitoring can be mapped to specific groups.
Will update this space when it becomes available. Your feedback is helpful, what is your preferred method to be notified by?
Thanks!

How can I retrieve a list of all users in Smooch

I see on Smooch there is a way to retrieve all messages for a given user, using GET /v1/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages but how can I get a list of all users (or, at least, all userIds) who are currently using my app. There doesn't seem to be an endpoint for that in the API. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, it's not possible at this point. However, you can subscribe to webhooks (listening for the message:appUser event) and keep track of your users yourself.
See https://docs.smooch.io/rest/#webhooks for the details about webhooks.

GCM: Subscribe Chrome extension to a topic

I'm currently trying to develop a Chrome extension which can receive notifications using GCM. When the extension is first installed, I register it using chrome.gcm.register(['my_sender_id'], function(registration_id) { console.log(registration_id); });.
I would like to send push messages to everyone who has the extension installed. However, the problem is that GCM requires you to specify the registration ID's of everyone you want to send the message to; you can't just send it to everyone who's connected to the sender ID.
While it would be possible to push the registration ID to a database when the extension is installed, and then consult this database each time I want to send a message, this solution seems sub-optimal (also from a security point of view, since the pushing of the registration ID would be done client-side).
However, Google introduced a solution for this a few years ago: topics. It's possible to simply register each device to a 'global' topic (for example) and when you then want to send a message, you only have to specify the 'global' topic as the receiver. However, I can't find how this registration process is done for Chrome extensions. I've looked everywhere, but it seems like Chrome's GCM module doesn't support this yet. Am I correct in this and if so, is there an alternative way to pull this off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you call chrome.instanceID.getToken and then use the InstanceID API from your server to subscribe to a topic, it seems to work, but then the chrome extension doesn't get messages when you push to that topic, so I'm not sure if Google just needs to enable something on their side to make it work. But this is the closest I could get to it in any case.

Thanks for the great feedback. There is no way at the moment to subscribe to a topic from a browser. We're aware that having such an API would simplify the development model. We'd love to add this to Firebase, but as usual can't make any promises or commitments.

Box enterprise events missing event for share link permission change

We are interested in getting the enterprise events from Box API which are documented here. I see that there are enterprise events for items being shared and unshared. These are SHARE and UNSHARE. However there are no events when permission(access level) are changed for shared links. So e.g if someone changes the access level from OPEN to YOUR_COMPANY or vice-versa, the Box API does not send any event..Our use-case is such that we would like to known when the access level changed. How can this be achieved?
Do we need to submit a feature request to Box? If so, what is the process? Also, what can be the timelines for any new revisions in which this feature can be added?
Good catch. Consider you feature request submitted.
