Smooch - How to access conversations with free plan and Web-Messenger widget - smooch

Just created a new account and integration with Web messenger widget on smooch.io. (So no direct API or similar, just the widget)
I can see messages coming in through the logs tab, like this:
logs of incoming messages
But maybe I am dumb or blind, but I can't figure out how or where to respond to these conversations...
Thanks for any input.

You need to integrate with a system in order to intercept these messages. You can view available systems here: https://app.smooch.io/integrations
My company integrated the web messenger with slack. Every time someone writes via the web messenger, it shows up in slack.

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!

Chatbase Login Integration

I integrated my application with the chatbase, but I would like my clients to have direct access to their email directly, as if it were a single step.
When I click a button in my application, it is directed to the logged-in chatbase screen.
Today I can only get it to the login screen, where it is still necessary to put the password to go to the dashboard, not logging directly into the application.
Is this possible? if yes, is there any kind of quickstart?
I followed the tutorial below to get to the login area, remembering that I use node.js

Thank you for your interest in Chatbase. There is currently no support for OAuth logins. Please see our recommended steps for third party integrations below:
Have the user open a Chatbase account with a Google linked email address
Have the user create a Bot in order to obtain the API key
Have the user integrate their analytics on your platform by providing the API key
Send the messages from their bot to their Chatbase API
Provide the user deeplinks to the Chatbase reports from within your UI

How to automate publicly publishing Facebook Messenger bots without app review?

We're completely noob in this automated bot publishing space, so please bear with us :)
We have observed that to make a Messenger chat bot publicly available, we need to get it manually reviewed and only then it's available to the world.
However, chatbot builders like chat fuel & motion.ai do AUTOMATICALLY publish the bots without any manual review process.
A brief guidance so that we understand how these provider are providing automated bot publish will be much appreciated.
Are there any APIs which does automatic bot publishing?
How is the App review process automated?
OR, is the app review process completely omitted?
You don't review the chatbot manually from Facebook.
However, You must need to submit the Facebook app for manual review which serves the webhook to your chatbot (all chatbot associated with that app, to be precise).
As you mentioned chatbot builders like chat fuel & motion.ai do
AUTOMATICALLY publish the bots without any manual review process.
They allow chatbot publishing using platform which in backend uses the FB graph API's to link the chatbot to there app, the app which they have already reviewed from FB. In layman term, single FB app serves to multiple chatbots.
Are there any APIs which does automatic bot publishing?
Yes, FB graph API is the answer for it. Search for Webhook API.
How is the App review process automated?
No, App review process is handled by FB team itself.
OR, is the app review process completely omitted?
No, You can't omit the app review process.
So technically speaking, there is no way around to avoid the app manual review process. This is the one-time process. Once your app gets reviewed, you can allow any chatbot to publish in association with your reviewed app.

How can I get the Lync Meeting URL programmatically in C#?

Currently I am running an ASP.NET web application and my web page needs to provide a button to get the Lync Meeting URL just like the Outlook does:
Please see the screenshot here: Lync Meeting Address in Outlook
The behavior of this button is when it is clicked, the Lync Meeting URL is retrieved (maybe from the Exchange server) and is shown on a asp:Label control on the web page.
I googled but I have been told that there are three SDKs can be considered for this scenario:
Lync SDK - seems the Lync client must be running while the SDK is in use
Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API (UCMA)
Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS)
I am really confused on these three SDKs, and don't know how to achieve my goal by utilizing these SDKs, could someone please help me? It would be much appreciate if you can post some sample code here.
Thank you!
I have implemented a similar solution(winform application) on UCMA. But you need a trusted application server to run such program.
Connect to Exchange and retrieve the user's meeting schedule using Exchange WebServices (like you said with EWS), there is a property that hold the meeting URL in each meeting object, here is a good overview https://mohamedasakr.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/get-lync-online-meetings-information-using-the-ews-managed-api-2/
Make sure you are connected to the Lync Server and signed in. there are a bunch of good tutorials in the "How To" tab on the MSDN Lync 2013 guide
Once you have an instance of LyncClient initialized, call
yourLyncClientInstanceConversationManager.AddConversation();
In your Conversation added event handler, use
yourLyncClientInstance.ConversationManager.JoinConference(exchangeUrl);

Cloud Sync service for app

Hi I have an HTML5 app which has a User Login. The app has a Notes option. I am looking for a service which would help me to sync the notes for that user account. So the same user can login in a different device and see the Notes in their device. I cannot use iCloud as Android doesnt support it.
We tried to store the notes in the user db using jsonp but still had some issues.
Someone mentioned about Pusher.com but looks like the service is expensive for a starter like us. Is there any more reliable and cheap options for us? W
Parse is probably more in line with what you are looking for. Pusher provides a service for sending push notifications, but you mentioned the need to store data in the cloud. Parse can accomplish this and does have a free basic plan that you can get started with.
