[CLOSED] Office Hours: 2010-01-13 Welcome to API office hours!
*Please top post your question or comment about the robot, gadget, or embed API to make sure we see it. You can do so by replying to this blip.* *A transcript of this wave will be made publicly available. If you don't want to appear in the transcript, delete your blip after getting a response. Be careful not to remove neighboring blips.* *And don't add robots to this wave!* Reply Edit 11:25 am Tom Maaswinkel: Is there a way to let a robot post in a wave where he isn't invited, but where [email protected] has been added? Reply Edit 11:27 am You: That's a good question. I actually haven't tried that out but I can't say for sure. But I am assuming you are referring to the use of active robot api that let a robot touches a wave actively. I am thinking that a robot can only touch the wave if he is explicitly added as a participant even if it is a public wave. Please post this in the group, I will investigate this and give you a more confirmed answer on this. Reply Edit 11:27 am Tom Maaswinkel: How can a robot see if a blip is public or a private reply with just the robot in it"? Reply Edit 11:28 am You: you can search for the wavelet that contains the blip to see if there is the [email protected] participant on it. Reply Edit 11:31 am Tom Maaswinkel: and if I've found that, how can I post in the wavelet that is public? Reply Edit 11:33 am You: That's what I was saying earlier that I am not sure if the robot can reply to a wavelet even if it is public. I believe robot must be a participant on wavelet in order for it to touch the wavelet (even if it is public). But I need to confirm that, so please post this on the group and I will reply to that later this afternoon. Reply Edit 11:41 am Tom Maaswinkel: Well, the point is that I can't find a function that allows me to get to that other wavelet (since the only wavelet I got access to is given trough the RobotMessageBundle) Reply Edit 11:43 am You: Yes that is correct, with the current available client libraries we only provide interaction between robots and wavelet passively. Meaning exactly what you have mentioned that robots only know about wavelet when wavelet triggers an event. But there is a new feature that we will be pushing out soon that let you do "active" request to a wavelet, given that you know the wavelet id. Reply Edit 11:43 am Tom Maaswinkel: The reason that I'm asking is that we want to develop a way to post 'anonymously' in a wave. We are developing the MediawikiWave bot, and one of the main features of mediawiki is anonymous editing. Do you maybe know another way to currently do this? Reply Edit 11:46 am You: I don't have solution off my head because obviously we don't want robot to be able to do that to any wavelet, major spam/security issue can happen. I believe the current model only allows a participating robot touch a wavelet. There is one thing that can do what you mention but that is not part of the API at the moment. There is something calls Agents but right now they are only provided internally (Spelly is an example of agents). Agents can touch any wavelet, sort of a super robots. Reply Edit 11:47 am Tom Maaswinkel: Good to know. Do you know if this will ever be made publicly available? Reply Edit 11:48 am You: I don't think we have any plan in the near future. I can follow up on that, please post on the gropu so I will make sure I will check up on that. Reply Edit 11:48 am Tom Maaswinkel: I can ask Lars directly if that will make your life easier ;-) Reply Edit 11:49 am You: sure i am sure Lars can provide more insightful answer than I. Reply Edit 11:49 am Tom Maaswinkel: Cool, thanks for your help :-) Reply Edit 11:49 am You: you welcome :) Reply Edit 11:34 am Venkat Polisetti: I am wondering if the usage of Google Groups in Wave working? Here is the blog post on wave blog: http://googlewave.blogspot.com/2009/12/waving-with-groups.html Reply Edit 11:39 am You: Yes I think so, tho that is not an API thing but I believe so if you follow the instruction on the blog post. Reply Edit 11:43 am Venkat Polisetti: Thanks, I will give it a try. Reply Edit 11:50 am Venkat Polisetti: Austine, I have seen this participant added to this wave. [email protected] Is this a group of contacts? I do not thing this a group as the address is on wavesandbox.com rather than googlegroups.com Reply Edit 11:51 am You: it is a google group under the domain for wavesandbox.com. It's the Google Apps version of it. Reply Edit 11:52 am Venkat Polisetti: So effectively it proves that the google groups thing works!. So any body in that group can post to this wave, right? Reply Edit 11:53 am You: I cannot say for sure, I am not sure if there anything extra that needs to be done for them to sync up. My intuition is that you probably won't have to do anything else. But I haven't tested this myself. Reply Edit 11:49 am Tom Maaswinkel: What kind of bot would you love to be developed? Reply Edit 11:54 am Venkat Polisetti: Tom, are you asking me this? Reply Edit 11:55 am Tom Maaswinkel: Both you and Austin... We got a person willing to fund development as long as we have good idea's for bots... But we ran out of idea's :p Reply Edit 11:57 am You: awesome. I think integrating other services such as calendar or docs (syncing potentially) would be tremendously helpful. Reply Edit 11:59 am Tom Maaswinkel: Good idea. I'm gonna look into that :-) Reply Edit 11:58 am Venkat Polisetti: Well, I already got a bot that integrates with Salesforce.com CRM for our company. But I am having issues allowing our folks to connect to it when the wave is embeded in Salesforce UI. I am hoping this groups thing will work for us. Tags: Files [CLOSED] Office Hours: 2010-01-13--
