I want to create a button or link in my web application for starting a chat to a contact.
I know the contact's google addresses, and I want to include in a web page, a list of the possible destinations (like a contact list) which the user can click and automatically start a chat window to this user (assuming the user has the hangouts plugin installed and logged-in).
With skype, I can include something like call someuser1. How do I do the same thing with Hangouts?
Google has something called the Hangout Button which you can embed into your website. More information on how to embed it can be found at: https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button

I have created a Microsoft Teams configurable tab with Angular and the Microsoft Teams Javascript library. From this tab I would like to be able to click a button which will "pre-compose" a message in the chat of the channel/chat of where the configurable tab is installed. So when the button is clicked, Teams should navigate to the "Posts" tab of the channel/chat and fill in the text/url/string in the chat and let the user decide to press enter to send it.
I've read the documentation but I cannot conclude that this is possible. I've looked at creating a task module but this only seems to be able to open dialogs to get the user to fill in data and call a service. The bot documentation also seems to mention filling the compose box of the chat but the documentation is not very clear in specifying how the bot should be called from e.g. tabs.
was able to deep link to group chat Tab by setting contextType property. Could you Please try deeplinking to group chat with the below syntax:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity//?context={"chatId": "","contextType":"chat"}
Building my first telegram bot and it's going to be quite complex.
Part of workflow needs to open a webview within telegram that will require user interaction, return to bot chat altering chat with data received from user.
Reading through the entire api, SO, github, I'm having trouble finding anything about the viewing webpages, much less if we can interact. Before I get deep into this project it would be awesome to have some starting direction.
Can you create web views (like you see for "instant view" articles, google maps, etc), and if so can you get data from user to use back at the chat bot?
Another option is possibly using a "game". In our case, it won't be a conventional game, but maybe we could use the html5 game to render what we need, and interact with the user. I know it can pull scores, names, etc to update message, maybe we could somehow make this work?
I'm currently working through the api. This is one of my first apps, and my first telegram bot. I really appreciate any assistance on how to get started here.
This is in Rails, using https://github.com/telegram-bot-rb/telegram_bot_app as a starter. Mostly needing to know if this concept it possible, but anything more specific would be great, too. Thanks!
You can't create web view with the bot API and you don't need to do that. You can simply link to a web page using simple links or inline buttons and the page will open in Telegram's inline browser (Depending on user's settings).
If you include the user ID in the URL you will know who is using the webpage. e.g example.com?uid=1234
Now that you know who is using the webpage, you can use the ID to send messages or anything else in Telegram chat while user is on the webpage.
At the end you can redirect the user back to your bot URL (telegram.me/botusername).
Update
You can now use Seamless Telegram Login to link to a web page and log in the user. This feature can also be used in groups
Try the new Telegram Web App API
It can open a web page on the bottom sheet, which you can expand almost to the full screen.
You can configure the web app open button by following these steps:
Open BotFather
Type /mybots, select your bot
Click Bot Settings > Menu Button
Set up a menu button that opens a certain URL
I am using the activity view controller to share message to SMS, Facebook, Twitter. Is it possible to add Google+ too. Please let me know how it is possible in Swift
By default in the iOS 8, we can see a more a button. If you click it, users can see the google pus app if he/she has installed in their phone. User can select from there if they want to send text message via google+ from there.
I am new in handling apps that will be connecting with Facebook.
I want to let my user log in my app with Facebook account and be able to send something, for example, a gift to their Facebook friends.
I want to get the user's friends list and which is very easy by using FBFriendPickerViewController. However, I want to have an effect that if their Facebook friend(s) is/are also using my app, the app icon will be shown at the right hand side of the user table cell (Just like some Phone Contact lists will show if the contact has Whatsapp/ Google+)
I have been searching through sites but still find nothing about this.
So my question is, is there any "official" way (using Facebook SDK method) to show the icon?
Or I have been thinking of another approach is that, I first get the friend list and then saved it, with the information that whether the "friend" is using my app or not. Then I create a custom friend picker view and check the condition to enable/disable the visibility of the app icon.
I can get the information by using approached of using GraphAPI fields or using external database, for which are mentioned in this , this and this .....
Anybody help?
Ok I end up with customizing my own table view... : )
How do I trigger a programmatic post to a specific person's Facebook wall so that it looks like this (but replace GO TRY IT ON with my app):
I do not want this to be a generic post to the world. I want this targeted to the specific user's wall whom I specify. I want to include a specific message. I already have social discovery for my app enabled (meaning that I can see my app when I search facebook on my iPhone, and I see it in my list of apps such that I can tap the row and launch my app from facebook).
Looks like you want to familiarize yourself with the concept of the Open Graph -> https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
product is obviously an object defined in that apps open graph settings, and suggesting is an action that can be undertaken with products.
So what you've shown us in this picture is not a normal post, it's the publication message of an Open Graph action.
But I'm not aware of any simple way to make this publication visible only to one user. The general visibility is set by the user in the auth dialog for your app. I don't know if there's a way to further restrict visibility for a single action publication, maybe by dynamically creating a friendlist with only that one user in it or something …
