I'm calling the function below in Twilio Studio from a run function widget, then saving the EmployeeInfo to a variable setting the EmployeeInfo variable to value {{widgets.function_1.parsed.EmployeeInfo}} . When I put the code {{flow.variables.EmployeeInfo}} into a say/play widget it will say all of the data elements but I'm having trouble accessing a single value (like saying a single Name). I tried every conceivable syntax I could think of such as {{flow.variables.EmployeeInfo[0].Name}} and {{flow.variables.EmployeeInfo.Name[0]}} but nothing will play. Do I have some syntax error somewhere, or maybe are you not able to store arrays in variables?
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
let results = {
LastName: "WAYNE",
FirstName: "BRUCE",
EmployeeInfo: [{ ID: 1, Name:"test" }, { ID: 2, Name:"tested" }, { ID: 3, Name:"testing" }]
};
return callback(null, results);
};
I am just learning twilio studio flows as well and found that the systax is "{{widgets..parsed.EmployeeInfo[0].Name}}"

Has anyone had luck with placing a GraphQL custom type argument as a Postman or Graphql variable? I'm kinda spinning in circles right now, I hope a fresh pair of eyes could point me in the right direction.
What I'm trying to do is to send a mutation request using Postman. The problem I'm having is that the method I'm calling is taking a custom type as an argument. Placing the content of that variable as GraphQL variable or Postman variable is giving me a headache. I can't embedd pictures yet, so here are the links (they are safe).
Schema
This custom type is a JSON-like structure, consisting of two enums and a set of primitive types (strings, ints...). I can screenshot the entire thing but basically that's it: two enums followed by strings, ints...
Custom type definition
What I've tried so far:
Simply hardcoding the request in Postman works but I wish to send multiple requests with varying data
Placing it in a GraphQL variable results in error message
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "Bad request - invalid request body.",
"locations": []
}
],
"data": null
}
Placing the custom type content as a Postman environment variable works, but I'm getting a syntax error (although the request passes...).
Request body is below. Hardcoding it and using a Postman variable produces the same request body, apart from the syntax error.
query: "mutation {
createApplication(request: {
applicationKind: NEW_ISSUANCE,
documentKind: REGULAR_PASSPORT,
personalData: {
timestamp: null,
firstname: "NAME",
lastname: "LASTNAME",
middlename: "MIDDLENAME",
dateOfBirth: "2011-09-28",
citizenshipCountryCode: "USA",
gender: MALE,
personalNumber: "3344",
placeOfBirth: "CHICAGO",
municipalityOfBirth: "SOUTH",
countryCodeOfBirth: "USA"},
addressData:{
street: "WEST",
municipality: "EAST",
place: "CHICAGO",
country: {
code: "USA",
name: null
},
entrance: "б",
flat: "13",
number: "35"}
})
{
__typename
... on AsyncTaskStatus {

payload {
... on ApplicationUpdated {
applicationID

... on Error {

}
}
fragment errorData on Error {

Postman variable with a squiggly line
I'm spinning in circles right now. Has anyone had any luck with Postman requests of this kind?
I can post more info, screenshots...just let me know. I'll be watching this topic closely and provide feedback.
Thank you for your time.
please add a the variable in variable section as :
{
"request": {{request}}
}
and then refer this in your query as
$request
I have Twilio Studio calling a Twilio Function and need it to send email to a variable list (small list) of emails. This question is mostly around looping through them as I can pass variables just fine. I have an array of emails to send a text to and am in a Twilio Function. But all examples I find online are about sending to just ONE. Part of me thinks this needs to be a Twilio Function calling another Twilio function (one loops, the other sends Emails)... but I can't figure out a way to do that. If I could contain it to one Twilio function, that would be great.
I have Twilio Studio calling a Twilio function. I need to keep this all on Twilio... so looping through via PHP and running functions one at a time through there doesn't work. I need this to run on Twilio's serverless setup.
Here's an example of what I have that works:
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
// using SendGrid's v3 Node.js Library
// https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-nodejs
const sgMail = require('#sendgrid/mail');
sgMail.setApiKey(context.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
const msg = {
to: 'me#example.com',
from: 'noreply#example.com',
templateId: 'my-id-goes-here',
dynamic_template_data: {
recipient_name: 'John Smith'
}
};
sgMail.send(msg).then(response => {
let twiml = new Twilio.twiml.MessagingResponse();
callback(null, twiml);
})
.catch(err => {
callback(err);
});
};
Here's me trying to loop through in similar fashion and failing
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
const sgMail = require('#sendgrid/mail');
sgMail.setApiKey(context.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
var responder_emails = 'me#example.com,me+test1#example.com';
var emails_a = responder_emails.split(',');
emails_a.forEach(function(responder_email) {
const msg = {
to: responder_email,
from: 'noreply#example.com',
templateId: 'my-id-goes-here',
dynamic_template_data: {
recipient_name: 'John Smith'
}
};
sgMail.send(msg);
});
callback();
};
I can pass in multiple emails into a Twilio function... I'm just not sure how to loop through correctly.
Heyo. Twilio Evangelist here. 👋
In your first example, you rightfully waited for the send call to be done by using then. In your second example, you missed that. You run several send calls but immediately call callback without waiting.
A fixed (roughly prototyped version) could look as follows.
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
const sgMail = require('#sendgrid/mail');
sgMail.setApiKey(context.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
var responder_emails = 'me#example.com,me+test1#example.com';
var emails_a = responder_emails.split(',');
Promise.all(emails_a.map(function(responder_email) {
const msg = {
to: responder_email,
from: 'noreply#example.com',
templateId: 'my-id-goes-here',
dynamic_template_data: {
recipient_name: 'John Smith'
}
};
return sgMail.send(msg);
})).then(function() {
callback();
}).catch(function(e) {
callback(e);
})
});
You have already an array of emails because you called split. You can use this array in combination with Array.map and Promise.all.
Map basically iterates over your array and lets you create a new array with whatever you return from the function inside of map. What the code above does is that it transforms [email, email] to [Promise, Promise]. The promises are the return value of sgMail.send.
Now, that you have an array holding promises that will resolve when sendgrid accepted your call, you can use Promise.all. This method waits for all the promises to be resolved (or rejected) and returns itself a new promise which you can use then with. When all sendgrid calls are done it's time to finish the function by calling the function callback.
Side note: this "map/Promise.all" trick performs all send grid calls in parallel. There might be situations where you want to call them one after another (saying you are doing a lot of calls and run into rate limiting).
Hope that helps and let me know how it goes. :)
I am calling a simple query with findOne, so far the data in users.db is:
{"id":40, "is_admin":1,"name":"John Smith"},
{"id":43, "is_admin":1,"name":"Laura Smith"}
// Users
var users = new Datastore({ filename: 'db/users.db' });
var id_user = 43;
console.log("-------------geting users db");
//
users.loadDatabase(function (err) {
console.log("------------- users db loaded--", id_user);
// find user by id
users.findOne({ id: id_user }, function (err, a,b,c) {
console.log(a,b,c); // displays null undefined undefined
});
});
Any idea why is returning null?
I think function being passed in findOne should take 2 parameters. First parameter will be the result of query and
second parameter will be error if something goes wrong . First parameter will be Null if there is no match in db .otherwise it should return the match result.
Function(result, error ){
}
It will be you function prototype
I tested your code in my app
db.findOne({ "c2cId":"292" }, function (err, a,b,c) {
console.log(a,b,c);
});
It return one doc and undefined, undefined.
If you use findOne I guess you just want to find the first doc, so looking at the
doc at
You can see there is only two parameters err and the doc
Concerning the null: in your query are you using a variable named id? or is it the key, in last case you should use quotes....
I have a list of people (first and last name) who I want to follow, but I don't want to Google or search them via Twitter separately. What is the best way to get the Twitter handles? Some GitHub repos or tutorials are also fine.
Twitter offers a "User Search" API request.
If you want to search for a user named "Ada Lovelace" you will need to send an OAuth'd request to
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/search.json?q=Ada%20Lovelace
You will get back a list of results. There may be many people who share the same first and last name.
As for how to do it, that rather depends on the programming language you want to use.
If you just want a clickable link, use https://twitter.com/search?q=Terence%20Eden
So firstly this question is off-topic but I will try write an answer for you. You could use the twitter api for this but that might be a little overkill if you just want to do this for you.
I made you an API
I made an API just for you using KimonoLabs. You can use this and just make a script that loops through your list and requests this api every time, then return a list of the results. Here is the API endpoint:
https://www.kimonolabs.com/api/duwxgie4?apikey=D6UKiTtKU93kv0YJj8i3kFBAbsIjdSTC&q=PERSON%20NAME
The &q= is the paramater for the person's name. To seperate the first and last name use %20, like so: Robert%20Keus
The documentation for this api is here:
https://www.kimonolabs.com/apis/duwxgie4
Let me know if you need any help,
Luca

First Solution: I wrote following node.js script. You need access_token and id of pulicly published google doc spreadsheet. For testing purpose I have provided sample spreadsheet's link and its id in following code.
var Twit = require('twit'),
async = require('async');
var T = new Twit({
consumer_key: 'xxxxxxxx',
consumer_secret: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
access_token: 'xxxxxxxxxxx',
access_token_secret: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
timeout_ms: 60*1000 // optional HTTP request timeout to apply to all requests.
});
//https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n7DxgJTTHZ9w3xwiHokUhXMLkBwpP5c9ZLFmsYFDCic/edit?usp=sharing
var GoogleSpreadsheet = require("google-spreadsheet"),
_ = require('underscore');
var sheetId = req.params.sheet || "1n7DxgJTTHZ9w3xwiHokUhXMLkBwpP5c9ZLFmsYFDCic",
sheet = new GoogleSpreadsheet(sheetId);
async.waterfall([
function (cb) {
sheet.getRows(1, {}, function (err, rows) {
if (err) { res.send(err); return;};
var names = [];
_.each(rows, function (row) {
names.push(row.first + " " + row.last);
});
cb(null, names);
});
},
function (names, callback1) {
async.map(names, function(name, cb){
T.get('users/search', { q: name, page: 1 }, function (err, data, response) {
if(data.length)
cb(null, {screen_name: data[0].screen_name, name:data[0].name});
else
cb(null, {screen_name: "no_data_retrieved", name: name});
});
}, function (err, results) {
callback1(null, results);
});
},
function (users, callback) {
console.log(users); //**YOU GET ALL DESIRED DATA HERE**
}
], function (err, result) {
//handle in memory data
});
Second Solution: Clone node-cheat twitter-screen-names, run npm install and shoot node server, Now get all twitter usernames as json in browser.
Happy Helping!
I have an ASP.NET MVC application which is executing a search against a products database. I want to display the results in a jqGrid using the TreeGrid module. I don't really need the grid to be AJAX-y because the data is static and it is small enough that it can all be sent to the client at once.
First question: how do I set up jqGrid so that instead of pulling the JSON data from a URL it just looks in a JS variable or something?
Secondly, what is the most appropriate way to get ASP.NET MVC to put JSON data into a JavaScript variable? I already have the List in my controller and just want to somehow get it out into a JS variable after JSON-ing it.
Or am I fighting against the current too much and just accept the AJAX-y way that jqGrid seems to want to work?
Thanks,
~ Justin
Here is how to display a jqGrid tree using a JavaScript function.
$(document).ready(function() {
TreeDemo.setupGrid($("#tree"));
});
TreeDemo = {
data: { A: ["A1", "A2"], B: ["B1", "B2"] },
setupGrid: function(grid) {
grid.jqGrid({
colNames: ['Name'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'Name', index: 'Name', width: "250em" }
],
datatype: TreeDemo.treeData,
loadui: "none",
sortname: 'Number',
treeGrid: true,
treeGridModel: "adjacency",
sortorder: "asc"
})
},
treeData: function(postdata) {
var items = postdata.nodeid ? TreeDemo.data[postdata.nodeid] : TreeDemo.data;
var i = 0;
var rows = new Array();
for (val in items) {
var isLeaf = postdata.nodeid != undefined;
rows[i] = {
Name: val,
Id: val,
level: postdata.nodeid ? 1 : 0,
parent: postdata.nodeid || null,
isLeaf: isLeaf ? "true" : "false",
expanded: "false"
}
i++;
}
$("#tree")[0].addJSONData({
Total: 1,
Page: 1,
Records: 2,
Rows: rows
});
}
};
Note that there are lots of options for how you do this and my example is only one.
The way I would get the JSON into a JS var is to either:
Write a HTML Helper which emits a short script to the page.
Write an action which returns a JavaScriptResult to get the data in a file, if, for some reason, you can't have the data inline.
You create the JSON using the .NET JavaScript serializer. Look at the JsonResult.ExecuteResult in the MVC source code for an example.
See the Data Manipulation page in the jqGrid documentation wiki. There you'll find many ways to feed the data to the grid.
There is also a Table_to_jqGrid plugin that may be an useful option.
