This feature will allow you to integrate eddi with a backend server to monitor the messages with a chatbot.

The callback can be invoked by multiple actions that you define in the package , you will receive in the post body a conversationMemorySnapshot which is the model that has all information about the current conversation that invoked this callback, we will go through a step by step example to show you how callbacks work.

In order to enable and configure callbacks in a chatbot you will have to add this into one of the packages used by the chatbot:

Callback model

{
  "type": "eddi://ai.labs.callback",
  "config": {
    "callbackUri": "String",
    "action": "String",
    "callOnActions": "String",
    "timeoutInMillis": Long
  }
}

Description of the model

Here is the model for conversationMemorySnapshot :

{
  "conversationMemorySnapshot": {
    "id": "String",
    "botId": "String",
    "botVersion": Integer,
    "environment": "String",
    "conversationState": "String",
    "conversationSteps": [array of conversationSteps],
    "redoCache": []
  }
}

Description :

Untitled Database

Note Callbacks does not have a store like the other extensions e.g : httpCalls, behaviorSet, regularDictionaries,etc..

Step by step example :

We will do a step by step example from scratch (chatbot creation to a simple conversation that uses a callback)

For the sake of simplicity we will use a simple nodejs http server to intercept the callback and get the conversation snapshot.
