Hey there!

I'd like to report a security issue but cannot find contact instructions on your repository.

If not a hassle, might you kindly add a SECURITY.md file with an email, or another contact method? GitHub recommends this best practice to ensure security issues are responsibly disclosed, and it would serve as a simple instruction for security researchers in the future.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I have created a chatbot with following steps, which is working fine.
npm install -g botkit
botkit new --platform web
npm install --save botkit-cms

Then, I removed the scripts in the skills folder (except _connection_events.js) & created a new script with code

module.exports = function(controller) {
controller.on('message_received', function(bot, message) {
    controller.studio.runTrigger(bot, message.text, message.user, message.channel).catch(function(err) {
           bot.reply(message, {text: 'Sorry, I don\'t understand.'});
        });
      });
};

also, added following code after controller initiation in bot.js

var cms = require('botkit-cms')();
cms.useLocalStudio(controller); 
cms.loadScriptsFromFile(__dirname + '/scripts.json').catch(function(err) {
       console.error('Error loading scripts', err);`
});

and in the root, copied scripts.json from cms with basic reply for 'hello' command (same as in sample_scripts.json).

There's no error, but I'm not getting any response from the bot when I pass 'hello' to chatbot.
What wrong I'm doing?

I have a use case to share persistent storage across multiple instances of botkit-cms which excludes file system.

What would be the best approach to have persistent storage shared across multiple instances of botkit-cms?

We should add documentation about making calls to controller.studio.runTrigger.

The following code should be added to the bot.js file, in addition to configuring the controller with the studio_command_url parameter:

// This captures and evaluates any message sent to the bot as a DM
// or sent to the bot in the form "@bot message" and passes it to
// Botkit Studio to evaluate for trigger words and patterns.
// If a trigger is matched, the conversation will automatically fire!
// You can tie into the execution of the script using the functions
// controller.studio.before, controller.studio.after and controller.studio.validate
if (process.env.studio_token) {
    controller.on('message_received', function(bot, message) {
        controller.studio.runTrigger(bot, message.text, message.user, message.channel, message).then(function(convo) {
            if (!convo) {
              // web bot requires a response of some kind!
              bot.reply(message,'OK');

                // no trigger was matched
                // If you want your bot to respond to every message,
                // define a 'fallback' script in Botkit Studio
                // and uncomment the line below.
                // controller.studio.run(bot, 'fallback', message.user, message.channel, message);
            } else {
                // set variables here that are needed for EVERY script
                // use controller.studio.before('script') to set variables specific to a script
                convo.setVar('current_time', new Date());
                convo.setVar('bot', controller.studio_identity);
            }
        }).catch(function(err) {
            bot.reply(message, 'I experienced an error with a request to Botkit Studio: ' + err);
            debug('Botkit Studio: ', err);
        });
    });
} else {

    console.log('~~~~~~~~~~');
    console.log('NOTE: Botkit Studio functionality has not been enabled');
    console.log('To enable, pass in a studio_token parameter with a token from https://studio.botkit.ai/');
}```

Hey,

I am trying to get botkit-cms working locally within a botkit app. I think this would be ideal for a production deployment, not having to rely on another server to be up.

I am using

"botkit": "^4.0.2",
"botkit-cms": "0.0.4",
"botkit-plugin-cms": "^1.0.1",

When I follow the directions and include:

var cms = require('botkit-cms')();
cms.useLocalStudio(controller);

cms.loadScriptsFromFile(__dirname + '/scripts.json').catch(function(err) {
  console.error('Error loading scripts', err);
});

I get the following error: TypeError: Cannot set property 'evaluateTrigger' of undefined.

I fixed here this by changing the controller.studio references to be controller.plugins.cms. This seems to fix the problem and things seem to more or less work. The bot responds to the triggers that are setup.

However, there is an exception when the input is something that doesn't cause any triggers to be returned.

Error in trigger handler undefined
(node:53014) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error:
  at Botkit.<anonymous> (blah/blah/node_modules/botkit/src/core.ts:1036:27)

Thanks for any help or direction on how to continue looking into this.

Hello,

How can I modify botkit-cms and add a new the possibility to go to a thread using conditions (Facebook Messenger bot). I know that we can do it using a text box by "collecting data" from user. But I want to be able to do as a simple if condition.

Here is an exemple:

Thank you.

Can we as a community fork into a better maintained project? Any ideas? Thank you.

Can someone help to fix above error?

While working with the cms locally, using useLocalStudio = true, evaluateTrigger doesn't exactly behave the way it should. In the case where no trigger was matched, the promise is rejected (which it should resolve to mimic the functionality of CMS run as remote API service)

When run as an API service, evaluateTrigger always resolves, even when there was no match. This in turn affects the Promise object returned by runTrigger

Also have a look at howdyai/botkit@ef69730

I have two conditions: yes or no. If yes trigger action 2, if no trigger action 6. Only one action works whichever is added as a first condition.
My sample json is:

{
"pattern": "no",
"type": "utterance",
"action": "6"
},
{
"pattern": "yes",
"type": "utterance",
"action": "2"
}

Hi,
I have botkit and botkit-cms on the same server, both of them are running and everything fine.

I added the following to .env file (on botkit) and configured the .env on botkit-cms.
var controller = Botkit.web({
studio_command_uri: 'http://MyIP:3000',
studio_token: 'blablablabla',
});

##Chat platform
PLATFORM=web
##authentication tokens for Bot users
TOKENS=blablablabla
##Admin users for UI
USERS=admin:mypass

I added some text into the CMS framework and when I am checking the bot after the amendments in the CMS, nothing happens.
It looks like that something is not connected well, how to connect them? how to check that they are talking to each other?

Thanks a lot

I did step by step to run it locally as stated in https://github.com/howdyai/botkit-cms
but error show after I exec "NPM Run Build"

I'll be very appreciate it if you can help...

Thanks before

Hi,

I am using botkit and have setup botkit-cms version 0.0.3 running locally. I added a new dialog named hello and saved it with the defaults. When I type hello into slack there is an error:

A dialog with an id of 'hello:botkit-wrapper' wasn't found.

I am using:

    "botbuilder-adapter-slack": "^1.0.2",
    "botkit": "^4.0.1",
    "botkit-plugin-cms": "^1.0.0"

I am not sure if its caused by the way botkit-cms writes the script file or if its the way the botkit/botworker reads the file. If I remove id + ':botkit-wrapper' from the botkit/botworker beginDialog code the hello dialog executes fine.

Am I missing something simple?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a use case to write multiple instances of botkit-cms and can't see a way to do it because the storage is on the file system(?) or in-memory?

Is there any way to have botkit-cms store the scripts in a database?

Hello,

Thanks immensely to this wonderful piece of software. It rocks!

It appears the npm version of botkit-cms (0.0.4, at this time) is ahead of the version specified in the package.json file (0.0.3, at this time).

Some suggestions:

1. commits, released to npm, be tagged (with their respective npm versions).
2. the package.json's version be updated to reflect the version in 1 above.

This will make it easier to update live botkit-cms servers to specific versions, as the case may be.

Thanks, once again.

Warm regards, please.

Adebisi, FA.

Hello!

I've created a model with a few intents and have it connected to botkit-cms, and then my bot connected to that. So far everything seems to function as expected. When configuring scripts and their associated triggers, I can select the intents from my model and things work great.

Once inside a script, is there also a way to have the conditional actions use my model's intents to choose what to do? So instead of exact/regex matching, use the model intent prediction like the trigger mechanism?

Thanks!

Hey,

I have a simple script configured to say yes or no based on the condition if is variation of

However, it never seems to branch to the no condition.

I am using the following:

 "botbuilder-adapter-slack": "^1.0.2",
"botbuilder-storage-mongodb": "^0.9.5",
"botkit": "^4.0.2",
"botkit-plugin-cms": "^1.0.1"

And botkit-cms version 0.0.3

Is there a config I am missing? Thanks!

It would be great if the CMS supported Adaptive cards (at least when authoring the web client).

Hello,

having issues with building ui components .. i can not build quick replies using the interface

I have install botkit app and botkit-cms, but how to connect and sync them?
already config the .env and create scripts.json, but still no luck.

After completing the steps in the README, I ran "npm run build".

This step returned the error below on the new Apple silicon. The expected result was a successful build.

Hi,

I tried to follow starting guide - adding botkit-cms as component in Botkit App. Unfortunately I can not make it works. Here are my steps:

1. I install botkit and create by first botkit app

   npm install -g botkit
   botkit new --platform web

2. I cd to the new botkit app folder and run following command

   npm install --save botkit-cms

3. I modify bot.js , and add following lines:

   var controller = Botkit.socketbot(bot_options);
   var cms = require('botkit-cms')();
   cms.useLocalStudio(controller);
   cms.loadScriptsFromFile(__dirname + '/scripts.json'); // How I can get scripts.json ??

I believe I don't see any scripts.json , and I am not sure if my understanding to register new component is correct.
Would anyone help me and guide me what should I do to configure botkit-cms web?

Thanks.

I am using cpanel to host my bot, while installing (npm install) the bot-cmd I got 80 Vulnerabilities and I manage to fix 78 of them with npm audit fix, but those 2 remain. Are they crucial? How should I deal with them?
