Is Action Builder Supported by Jovo?

[Voice_First]

Does the new Action Builder work with Jovo?

Action Builder

I tried using Jovo today and got this error in LAUNCH:
Code: ERR_NO_MATCHING_PLATFORM Message: Can't handle request object.

Here’s the Main Invocation Route in Actions Builder.

• Webhook: checked.
• Event Handler: LAUNCH

Thx to @omenocal for replying via Twitter:

Looks like @AlexSwe added an npm package here.

We then added the package with:
npm i jovo-platform-googleassistant

Inside our app.js code we changed the import of GoogleAssistant

// const { GoogleAssistant } = require('jovo-platform-googleassistant');
const { GoogleAssistant } = require('jovo-platform-googleassistantconv');

Works with Bugs

Looks like some features on Jovo haven’t been implemented yet.

Features still needing implemented to Action Builder:

• Suggestion Chips
• MediaResponse

Error:
Message: this.$googleAction.showSuggestionChips is not a function

[Voice_First]

With help from @AlexSwe I have MediaResponse working for Action Builder.

Try this code:

this.$googleAction.$audioPlayer.playAudio(
			{
				name: 'Media name',
				description: 'Media description',
				url:
					'https://storage.googleapis.com/automotive-media/Jazz_In_Paris.mp3',
				image: {
					large: {
						alt: 'Jazz in Paris album art',
						height: 0,
						url:
							'https://storage.googleapis.com/automotive-media/album_art.jpg',
						width: 0,
					},
				},
			},
		);
		this.ask('start audio');

CALLBACK FUNCTIONS

AUDIOPLAYER: {
 'GoogleAction.Paused'() {
  // no response posible
  this.tell('Playback paused');
 },
 'GoogleAction.Stopped'() {
  // no response posible
 },
 'GoogleAction.Finished'() {
  this.tell('Playback finished');
 },
 'GoogleAction.Failed'() {
  this.tell('Playback failed');
 },
},

With MediaPlayer beware:

But the behavior is weird sometimes. Some events don’t get called in the simulator.
It’s more of a Google thing. Unfortunately we can’t fix that - @AlexSwe

Hi @Voice_First… Have you implemented Interactive Canvas on Actions Builder + Jovo?

How can I send dynamic “data” to the canvas using this lib?

Thank!

@AlexSwe implemented Interactive Canvas support yesterday.

You can find an example here: https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-framework/tree/4bdf07c893c67d103f1c10d4207d8737220f453d/examples/typescript/02_googleassistantconv/interactive-canvas
