Pushback function in JAICF

[loop-lab]

Hi!

JAICP has function Pushgate for outgoing mailing from chat-bot.
https://help.just-ai.com/docs/ru/JS_API/built_in_services/pushgate/pushgate

I didn't find this function in JAICF. How to make such the function?

@loop-lab There is no built-in pushgate service at this moment. We're planning to add it somewhere in near future.

There are two ways to similar functionality inside your project:

1. Using InvocationAPI. This API is documented only is source code, without any articles on help.jaicf.com. Basic usage looks like this:

    val channel = TelegramChannel(...)

    channel.processInvocation(
        InvocationEventRequest(
            clientId = "telegram-client-id",
            input = "my-event",
            requestData = "any custom request data"
        ), RequestContext.DEFAULT)

After processInvocation is called, event with name my-event will be sent to scenario, where it should be processed.

         state("my-event", noContext = true) {
            activators {
                event("my-event")
            }
            action {
                reactions.say("Event my-event is processed")
            }
        }

But there is no built-in scheduling mechanism for creating or canceling delayed events.

2. Using asynchronous calls with coroutines. This works if you need to send some message with delay.

        action {
            reactions.say("This is start")
            CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
                delay(10000)
                reactions.say("This is async answer")
            }
        }
