• API docs

• Nodejs 8.10 /npm, recommend using nvm to install nodejs/npm.

Let's start a simple RingCentral Engage chatbot server that will auto respond to any email with a auto reply.

# get the code
git clone [email protected]:ringcentral/engage-digital-chatbot-js.git
cd engage-digital-chatbot-js

# install dependecies
npm i

# start proxy server, this will make your local bot server can be accessed by RingCentral service
npm run ngrok

# will show
Forwarding                    https://xxxx.ap.ngrok.io -> localhost:6066
# Remember the https://xxxx.ap.ngrok.io, we will use it later

Follow Step by Step guide to enable sources to prepare the source and webhook. You could choose only one source.

# create env file
cp .env.sample .env
# then edit .env, set proper setting according to the tip in .env

# run local dev server
npm start

• Send a email to your predefined email source address, then bot will auto reply with This is a auto reply by bot.
• Edit example-bots/auto-reply-all.js to set your own reply logic.

• Run npm run dev1 to run bot with skills
• Check example-bots/auto-reply-all-with-skills.js and example-skills/ping-pong-skill.js
