We are using firebase cloud functions for our fulfillment and an external rest api for our crud operations.
We have one intent with a few followups and it looks like this
- Create Note
- - Create Note - fallback*
- - - Create Note - fallback - yes
- - - Create Note - fallback - no
* the fallback allows us to capture free text
In our webhook I have the following fulfillment
app.intent("Create Note", (conv) => {
if (!conv.user.storage.note) conv.user.storage.note = {};
conv.ask("Go ahead, talk to Talkatoo!");
});
app.intent("Create Note - fallback", (conv) => {
conv.user.storage.input = conv.input.raw;
let response = conv.user.storage.note
? conv.user.storage.note.body.concat(conv.input.raw)
: conv.user.storage.input;
conv.ask("So far this is what I heard you say, let me know if this is complete. ", response);
});
app.intent("Create Note - fallback - yes", (conv) => {
// based on the conv.user.storage.note object
// either make a call to create a note or update a note
// make call to external api and based on the response
// set the value for conv.user.storage.note
conv.ask("Great news, let me save that for you!");
});
app.intent("Create Note - fallback - no", (conv) => {
// based on the conv.user.storage.note object
// either make a call to create a note or update a note
// make call to external api and based on the response
// set the value for conv.user.storage.note
// Send the user back to Create Note to capture the rest of their input
conv.followup("my_custom_event");
});
The issue is that conv.user.storage.note
is getting set when I get the response from the API, but then it is getting reset to empty and so a new note is created each time. I'm trying to append the various inputs from the user to be one note
