Simplifying connection to messaging clients #77

Closed AlexGustafsson closed 7 years ago

AlexGustafsson commented 7 years ago

Today I read about "Broid", a way of implementing multiple messaging platforms such as Messenger, Kik, Discord and Twitter with a unified api. Perhaps this module could simplify the way Botpress handles different messaging platforms as well as add previously none-existing clients.

I just tried it and it is nice, and their list of supported platforms is quite impressive !

Unfortunately messenger connector is not working for me: https://github.com/broidHQ/integrations/issues/73

But I managed to connect with BotFramework, and tested it via Skype.

I agree a broid.ai middleware should be a solution to unify interactions with multiple messaging platforms.

Thanks Alex. We're in contact with the Broid team and discussing potential integration possibilities :) Will update this as we progress

jcampbell05 commented 7 years ago

I've experimented with some of them with integration for Bottr :) they are working on making it more open and flexible so it can be integrated into other frameworks.

Their are a few issues with some clients I have noticed as well we would have to make sure are fixed.

What's the status and what is the reason of closing the issue, @DanyFS?

DanyFS commented 7 years ago

The only reason why I decided to close this issue is not because it's not a good idea, it's a very good one by the way, but for the moment (until for the next 3-4 months), we can be dependant on Broid or any other external extension. The market is too early and we don't know if they will continue to maintain their tools or not... We keep your idea in mind!

Thanks for the proposition @AlexGustafsson !!!
