Dialogflow response without a request


Is it possible that dialogflow sends a message on Slack without having someone to send it a request? For example this is a common application that a user talks to bot and the bot responds back. But what if the bot realizes that nobody has talked to him for some time on Slack and automatically sends a message to slack channel.


Solution

  • No, Dialogflow works on a request-response model. So something in slack needs to trigger the request in order for it to respond.
