How to integrate with a chatbot

[stevesolun]

I have a chatbot developed in Python 3. User comes from FB and sends a message, Python catches it and transfers to Dialogflow NLU. Dialogflow returns the intent to Python and business logic applied on it.

I want to add reminders functionality to my bot - a date and time picker where my user will choose date and time to remind him to do X.

I will pick it from the webview and write to the DB.

Please advise how can I set dates and times and integrate it?

Hello @stevesolun, this calendar consists of two parts:

1. The Frontend which is "DHTMLX scheduler" but could also be "fullcalendar" #38
2. The backend which takes ICS files and prepares them for the frontend.

I think that you may use one of the front-ends independently of this software for your use case to display events picked by the user. If you like to use this software here, we can work on #71 or integrating modules of dhtmlx which allow users to pick and delete dates. See the dhtmlx scheduler documentation for this. Your bot would then output ICS dates.

@niccokunzmann can we make a zoom meeting today to discuss it? In general I want to use Facebook messenger webview, my user will choose times and dates from a given calendar as reminders to do something, I need to know how to get them and write to my DB.

Can you help me with this case?

Hello,

I do not want to work as consultant right now. In generally, I think I am not the right person for this task - others have worked more with the chatbot or the calendar frontends. Please ask in their communities. I am occupied with other deeds.

I am sure you will find next steps and help from someone else in the mean time.
