How to structure JSON Action Schema

Question

I wanted an Autopilot bot to send its memory data to a webhook file of mine (which is in PHP) and in return (as a callback) just print a message saying "Received". But every time, I get an error saying "It does not match with Action Schema."

So I was wondering if anyone could give me a nice example as to how to do this?

I've tried reading the ActionSchema.json file provided in the Debugger, but I couldn't understand it at all.

I have tried like this

echo '"definitions": {
    "say": {
      "anyOf": [
        {
          "type": "strdfghing"
        }';

I want Twilio Autopilot to reply "Got it!" after it sends its memory events to a webhook file.

Welcome to StackOverflow!

So you probably have your Collect flow, where you can use the Say verb to respond with "got it!" at the end in the on_complete of a Redirect. Your Autopilot task may look something like this:

"actions": [
        {
            "collect": {
                "name": "collect_clothes_order",
                "questions": [
                    {
                        "question": "What is your first name?",
                        "name": "first_name",
                        "type": "Twilio.FIRST_NAME"
                    },

                ],
                "on_complete": {
                    "redirect": "your-web-server-ie-a-twilio-function-maybe"
                    }
                }
            }
        ]

Then, in your Twilio Function (or another web server in the language of your choosing), you could receive the memory data (in this case, the first name that the user responded with), and return the Say containing "got it!":

exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
    let responseObject = {};
    let memory = JSON.parse(event.Memory);

    console.log(memory.twilio.collected_data);
     let first_name = memory.twilio.collected_data.collect_clothes_order.answers.first_name.answer;
    console.log(first_name); //collected data from memory
    responseObject = {"actions":[
        { "say": { "speech": "Got it!" } }
    ]};
    callback(null, responseObject);
};

Let me know if this helps at all!
