Building a bot with Smooch - smooch

I'm a first time user on Smooch. Can the Smooch platform itself be used to build a bot? In other words, can I define an intent/flow on Smooch platform itself or does it simply connect to other services?

can I define an intent/flow on Smooch platform itself or does it simply connect to other services?
The latter, but I can add some detail. The Smooch platform itself isn't a bot framework, but it's a great interface to connect your bot to in order to bring your bot to numerous channels. Once your bot integrates with Smooch, it works with all channels that Smooch supports, including native SDKs.
If you're looking for a more ready-made bot framework, but you also want your bot to have the wide channel presence that Smooch offers, here are some bot platforms that have integrated with Smooch:

If you want to implement a bot that integrates directly with Smooch APIs, I believe special offerings for that are in the works, and you can reach out from here:

Bot didn't start on my Wordpress site

I did a bot on Chatfuel and integrate it with Smooch through the wordpress plugin. Everything is ok in the setting (Token) BUT the Chat didn't start and when I answer nothing happen.
Thanks for your help
You'll need to somehow connect your Chatfuel bot into Smooch since there's currently not per built integration between Chatfuel and Smooch.
Using Chatfuel's JSON API and Smooch API and webhooks it should be possible to integrate the two platform.
Alternatively, you can use one of the other Bot platform integration that is already available on Smooch

Marketo integrate to custom app

I want to integrate marketo with my web app. In such way that the marketo leads or data automatically sync to app at regular interval.
My web application is in php.
I am new to marketo, Please help.
Only way this is done is by connecting to Marketo Via the Marketo REST or SOAP API, documentation to get you started can be found here:
http://developers.marketo.com/getting-started/
There are several integration platforms available today that let you connect various web apps and automate tasks through a simple interface. These cloud integration platforms use API of the web applications in the backend. All you need to do is connect the apps together and configure the settings. You can connect your own app or on-prem system to web services like Marketo, Salesforce, etc.
Here's a short blog post that shows how apps can be integrated.

Let me know if this was helpful.
If you are just wanting to sync data back and forth a webhook might do it for you. That is what I currently use to sync data from Marketo to a PHP app and back to Marketo. Lots of addons to Marketo actually work this way.
Webhooks are also a lot easier/quicker to set up on the Marketo end and then on the PHP side you basically just have to handle the POST.

Integrating a Web Application with BOX.NET using Content API

I am in the process of conducting a POC for integrating one of our Corporate Applications with BOX.NET.
The Corporate application resides over Amazon Cloud and I would like to use that App to perform CRUD operations on BOX.
Can I go ahead and start using the Content API (REST) provided by BOX.NET? On the BOX side I would have to go and register my application to obtain a API KEY. Please confirm if my understanding is correct.
Thanks
That's correct. To start using the Box.com API you should go to http://developers.box.com and get an API key for your application. Depending on the language you like to code in, there are SDKs you can use, or you can code directly against the REST Content API.
The Box APIs are free to build against. Users that login to your application will have to go through an OAuth2 flow to allow your application to access their Box content.

Implementing OpenID authentication with Google Apps

Very related to this question: SSO, using Google Apps user database but I'm wondering how the user Nil started off with his OpenID script.
Could anyone give some background on this? I'm not very familiar with OpenID.
The Google Apps Marketplace Google Apps Platform Single Sign On overview provides all the information you need to get started. Since #Nils describes a Corporate Google Apps environment, it's very likely that this is where they went to start their implementation, since...
For in-house apps developed with the Google Apps extensions console, implementing Single Sign-On is a strongly recommended best practice.
You'll find background information and links to existing OAuth libraries in a variety of languages.
You should also look at the Google Identity Toolkit, which provides an API you can use to implement SSO for your web app, as well as a Javascript widget you can incorporate to make the task simple.
