Add communication through webhook and Push API #11

Open krilor opened 7 years ago

Possible use case: 1) A chatbot SaaS does not provide a REST api with a synchronous chat response, it only has webhook based communication.

2) A chatbot SaaS gives the customer the ability to "step in" as the bot and continue in the conversation. This will require a exposed webhook because synchronous response is impossible

Push API is not well supported in browsers, but will work in WordPress/PHP (already plugins that uses it)
WebSockets requires a WS server (might be able to use PHP Sockets somehow)
Fallback: REST calls to ask for new messages
