@alsuga , what do you mean? Do you want bot to react with some delay? Or is it that you want it to act proactively?

If you want bot to delay response, then you could use simple action like this:

const Promise = require('bluebird')
const ms = require('ms')
const actions = {
  wait: async (state, event, { delay }) => {
    await Promise.delay(ms(delay || '1s'))
  }
}

If you want bot to act proactively, you can check appropriate receipt.

I think he is talking about timeout of a conversation, if the user doesn't reply after X minutes. Could you point him to that direction? Look for the bp_timeout event. We should document that as well.

See botfile

@alsuga , indeed you can check botfile for theses options:

  dialogs: {
    timeoutInterval: '2m', // How much time should pass before session is considered stale
    janitorInterval: '10s' // How often do we check for stale sessions
  },

It's also possible to perform actions on timeout. You can create a flow called timeout.flow.json and it'll get called on timeout. You can also create a node called timeout - it'll be called in case user got stuck in the same flow as that node.

@slvnperron , I wasn't able to get first 2 options work and there's a PR (https://github.com/botpress/botpress/pull/639) making 4-th option work.

@alsuga , let me know if this didn't help.

slvnperron commented 6 years ago

@epaminond The first two options are used / configured when modifying the flows file manually. We don't have a UI or API for that yet, but will come. Can you document that as well in the documentation?

epaminond commented 6 years ago

ok, sure

is there a way to remove timeout, I mean session should not expire forever as facebook bot does.
