Chat Field Types (Email, Password, Location, Upload)

You can have the UI present either a password or email field

Email Field

The email field applies email validation against what's input. You will not be able to proceed until the validation completes.

You could probably bypass the email validation by using an ASR input..

Output Parameter

inputType = email

Password Field

The password field will mask the users password as they enter it in. It will also ensure that once the password is sent to Teneo that the user's password is masked in the chat UI.

Output Parameter

inputType = password

Location Information

For some conversations it might be desirable to use the user's current browser location as a means of refining a back end query. To request the location information from the browser you just need to set one of the following output parameters on a node in a Teneo Flow.

Output Param Name

Value

Example Response Format

inputType

locationCityStateZip

Sammamish, Washington 98075

inputType

locationZip

98075

inputType

locationLatLong

40.748736,-73.98486

inputType

locationJson

JSON Format seen below

Teneo will automatically send back the requested information to Teneo. This will come in as request parameters with the same names: (locationCityStateZip/locationZip/locationLatLong/locationJson) The parameter values are URL Encoded and you should URL decode them retrieving the location information. This can be done either in a pre-processing script, a listener or a transition.

For example:

import java.net.URLDecoder;
URLDecoder.decode(engineEnvironment.getParameter("locationCityStateZip"), "UTF-8")}

Upload Field

The upload field will swap out the user input field with an icon that will allow the user to upload a file. You can choose to provide some additional configuration that will tell Leopard what to do with the uploaded file.

Output Parameter

inputType = upload

This but itself will instruct Leopard to present an upload button and it will simulate an upload of the file. A progress spinner will be shown and when it completed the user will be notified that the file is uploaded and an empty user input will be sent to Teneo so that the conversation can continue.

Upload Configuration

In all likelihood you will probably want the file to be upload to another server. To instruct Leopard to achieve that you will need to send along and upload configuration object to Leopard from Teneo.

Output Parameter

uploadConfig = ${ExtensionHelper.setUploadConfig(configMap)}

Where configMap is a Groovy map:

def configMap = [
    "postUrl": "http://url-to-post-file-to.com/some-context",
	"postFileNameParam": "file",
	"postParams": [
		"my_key": "my_value"
	],
	"teneoSuccessQuery": "&uploadResult=success",
	"teneoFailureQuery": "&uploadResult=error",
	"reqUserInputSuccess": "I have uploaded my file",
	"reqUserInputFailure": "I tried uploading but it didn't work"
]

You don't have to define all the keys in the map. At the very least you need to define a postUrl a postFileNameParam and your choice the remaining keys.

JSON

{
  "name"       : "uploadConfig",
  "parameters" : {
    "postUrl"             : "http://url-to-post-file-to.com/some-context",
    "postFileNameParam"   : "file",
    "postParams"          : { "my_key":"my_value" },
    "teneoSuccessQuery"   : "&uploadResult=success",
    "teneoFailureQuery"   : "&uploadResult=error",
    "reqUserInputSuccess" : "I have uploaded my file",
    "reqUserInputFailure" : "I tried uploading but it didn't work"
  }
}
