I am using Twilio Rest-Api for sending SMS from my Controller class and it returns : Id = 166, Status = WaitingForActivation, Method = "{null}", Result = "{Not yet computed}"
public Task SendSmsAsync(string number, string message)
{
var accountSid = Options.SMSAccountIdentification;
var authToken = Options.SMSAccountPassword;
TwilioClient.Init(accountSid, authToken);
return MessageResource.CreateAsync(
to: new PhoneNumber(number),
from: new PhoneNumber(Options.SMSAccountFrom),
body: message);
}
I am calling this method from Controller class :
var result = _smsSender.SendSmsAsync("+92331234566", "Hi its my first msg to ya. Twilio")
It is returning status: waitingForActivation.
Will this be resolved if I make the whole process asynchronous ?? though I have tried it but somehow I am not reaching the solution.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You are using an async method so the result is going to be a task that hasn't resolved yet. I'm not a C# developer, but I believe you need the async and await keywords in the right place. Something like:
public async Task SendSmsAsync(string number, string message)
{
var accountSid = Options.SMSAccountIdentification;
var authToken = Options.SMSAccountPassword;
TwilioClient.Init(accountSid, authToken);
return await MessageResource.CreateAsync(
to: new PhoneNumber(number),
from: new PhoneNumber(Options.SMSAccountFrom),
body: message);
}

I have a SMS / Twilio Channel that I'm using to send out a Proactive message to the user. To send the Proactive message I'm calling a API method passing in MySpecialId which is used later in the conversation.
I want to save this MySpecialId into the conversation but at the point I have the MySpecialId the conversation doesn't exist yet, and I don't have a turnContext, so I can't really save it yet.
Is there a way to pass this Id from my API method into the BotCallback? I created a quick example. (Here is the original example I'm using https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/samples/csharp_dotnetcore/16.proactive-messages)
Thanks
[HttpGet("{number}")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Get(string MySpecialId)
{
//For Twillio Channel
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl("https://sms.botframework.com/");
var NewConversation = new ConversationReference
{
User = new ChannelAccount { Id = $"+1{PHONENUMBERTOTEXTHERE}" },
Bot = new ChannelAccount { Id = "+1MYPHONENUMBERHERE" },
Conversation = new ConversationAccount { Id = $"+1{PHONENUMBERTOTEXTHERE}" },
ChannelId = "sms",
ServiceUrl = "https://sms.botframework.com/"
};
BotAdapter ba = (BotAdapter)_HttpAdapter;
await ((BotAdapter)_HttpAdapter).ContinueConversationAsync(_AppId, NewConversation, BotCallback, default(CancellationToken));
return new ContentResult()
{
Content = "<html><body><h1>Proactive messages have been sent.</h1></body></html>",
ContentType = "text/html",
StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK,
};
}
private async Task BotCallback(ITurnContext turnContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
try
{
var MyConversationState = _ConversationState.CreateProperty<MyConversationData>(nameof(MyConversationData));
var ConversationState = await MyConversationState.GetAsync(turnContext, () => new MyConversationData(), cancellationToken);
//********************************************************************************************************************
ConversationState.MySpecialId = //HOW DO I GET MySpecialId FROM THE GET METHOD ABOVE HERE?
//********************************************************************************************************************
await _ConversationState.SaveChangesAsync((turnContext, false, cancellationToken);
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync("Starting proactive message bot call back");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this._Logger.LogError(ex.Message);
}
}
I don't believe that you can. Normally, you would do something like this by passing values through Activity.ChannelData, but ChannelData doesn't exist on ConversationReference.
Per comments below, #Ryan pointed out that you can pass data on ConversationAccount.Properties. Note, however, this is currently only available in the C# SDK. I've opened an issue to bring this into the Node SDK, but ETA is unknown at this point.
Instead, I'd suggest using a something more native to C#, like:
Create a ConcurrentDictionary
private ConcurrentDictionary<string, string> _idMap;
Map MySpecialId to Conversation.Id (in your Get function)
_idMap.AddOrUpdate(conversationReference.Conversation.Id, MySpecialId, (key, newValue) => MySpecialId);
Access the MySpecialId from the Activity.Conversation.Id (in BotCallback)
var ConversationState = await MyConversationState.GetAsync(turnContext, () => new MyConversationData(), cancellationToken);
ConversationState.MySpecialId = _idMap.GetValueOrDefault(turnContext.Activity.Conversation.Id);
Save ConversationState
await ConversationState.SaveChangesAsync(turnContext, false, cancellationToken);
There's other ways you could do this and some validation checks you'll need to add, but this should get you started.
I'm just trying to use Twilio to send transaction SMS. I have tried exactly the same code which is provided in the Twilio Documentation
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// Find your Account Sid and Token at twilio.com/console
const string accountSid = "AC5270abb139629daeb8f3c205ec632155";
const string authToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
TwilioClient.Init(accountSid, authToken);
var message = MessageResource.Create(
from: new Twilio.Types.PhoneNumber("+15017122661"),
body: "Body",
to: new Twilio.Types.PhoneNumber("MyNumber")
);
Console.WriteLine(message.Sid);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
in this authToken copy from Twilio console and the TO number is my number which is used to register on Twilio. I also have verified the number in Verified Caller IDs segment in Twilio Console.
From Number initially, I was using the number which is generated by in Twilio Console the Number Belongs to the US but it won't work. After Reading this
Article I used the Exact code provided by Twilio just make the Changes as authToken and TO Number. But still, it won't work.
I have No idea why it Does not Work. is that you Can't Send the message from one country to another country?
As I want to Verify Mobile number by sending code from SMS. so achieve this I'm using
Twilio Verify API here where the Code is generated by Twilio and verified by himself.
this Solve my problem.
TO Send SMS :-
var client = new HttpClient();
var requestContent = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] {
new KeyValuePair<string,string>("via", "sms"),
new KeyValuePair<string,string>("phone_number", "Moblienumber"),
new KeyValuePair<string,string>("country_code", "CountryCode"),
});
// https://api.authy.com/protected/$AUTHY_API_FORMAT/phones/verification/start?via=$VIA&country_code=$USER_COUNTRY&phone_number=$USER_PHONE
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(
"https://api.authy.com/protected/json/phones/verification/start?api_key=" + "Your Key",
requestContent);
// Get the response content.
HttpContent responseContent = response.Content;
// Get the stream of the content.
using (var reader = new StreamReader(await responseContent.ReadAsStreamAsync()))
{
// Write the output.
Console.WriteLine(await reader.ReadToEndAsync());
}
return Ok();
To Verify :-
// Create client
var client = new HttpClient();
// Add authentication header
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Authy-API-Key", "Your Key");
// https://api.authy.com/protected/$AUTHY_API_FORMAT/phones/verification/check?phone_number=$USER_PHONE&country_code=$USER_COUNTRY&verification_code=$VERIFY_CODE
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(
"https://api.authy.com/protected/json/phones/verification/check?phone_number=phone_number&country_code=country_code&verification_code=CodeReceivedbySMS ");
// Get the response content.
HttpContent responseContent = response.Content;
// Get the stream of the content.
using (var reader = new StreamReader(await responseContent.ReadAsStreamAsync()))
{
// Write the output.
Console.WriteLine(await reader.ReadToEndAsync());
}
return Ok();
I am creating a bot to proactively start a conversation with an account I have never had a previous conversation with. I have created another controller that I am posting to and doing the following steps:
public class OutboundController : ApiController {
public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromUri] int id, [FromBody] OutboundData outboundData) {
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl(outboundData.ServiceUrl);
//create conversation
var connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(outboundData.ServiceUrl));
var botAccount = new ChannelAccount { Id = outboundData.FromAccountId, Name = outboundData.FromAccountName };
var toAccount = new ChannelAccount { Id = outboundData.ToAccountId, Name = outboundData.ToAccountName };
if(!MicrosoftAppCredentials.IsTrustedServiceUrl(outboundData.ServiceUrl)) {
throw new Exception("service URL is not trusted!");
}
var conversationResponse = connector.Conversations.CreateDirectConversation(botAccount, toAccount);
var client = new BuslogicClient();
var confirmData = client.GetOutboundData(id);
var greetingMessage = CreateGreetingMessage(confirmData);
var convoMessage = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
convoMessage.Text = greetingMessage;
convoMessage.From = botAccount;
convoMessage.Recipient = toAccount;
convoMessage.Conversation = new ConversationAccount(id: conversationResponse.Id);
convoMessage.Locale = "en-Us";
connector.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync((Activity)convoMessage);
string message = string.Format("I received correlationid:{0} and started conversationId:{1}", id, conversationResponse.Id);
var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, message);
return response;
}
When I call connector.Conversations.CreateDirectConversation I am getting the following exception: Additional information: Authorization for Microsoft App ID [ID] failed with status code Unauthorized and reason phrase 'Unauthorized'. If I do this with appId and password blank everything works fine in the channel emulator. I've tried providing the MicrosoftAppCredentials to the constructor of the ConnectorClient, but that has no affect. I've read on other threads that the service URL must be trusted so I used MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl.
versions I am using:
BotBuilder 3.5.3
Channel Emulator 3.0.0.59
The use-case for my bot is to post to the outbound controller with some user info to create a proactive message to be sent out (specifically SMS). If the user responds to my message it will be intercepted by the messages controller and passed to my dialogs for further processing and conversation responses on that same channel.
I've also taken a look at: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder/issues/2155 but don't quite understand solution described in the comments or if it even pertains to the issue I'm trying to solve.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!
You need to pass credentials explicitly to connector:
var credentials = new MicrosoftAppCredentials("YoursMicrosoftAppId", "YoursMicrosoftAppPassword");
var connector = new ConnectorClient(serviceUrl, credentials);
I created some web apis and when an error happens the api returns HttpResponseMessage that is created with CreateErrorResponse message. Something like this:
return Request.CreateErrorResponse(
HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "Failed to find customer.");
My problem is that I cannot figure out how to retrieve the message (in this case "Failed to find customer.") in consumer application.
Here's a sample of the consumer:
private static void GetCustomer()
{
var client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
string data =
"{\"LastName\": \"Test\", \"FirstName\": \"Test\"";
var content = new StringContent(data, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var httpResponseMessage =
client.PostAsync(
new Uri("http://localhost:55202/api/Customer/Find"),
content).Result;
if (httpResponseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var cust = httpResponseMessage.Content.
ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<CustomerMobil>>().Result;
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Make sure you set the accept and or content type appropriately (possible source of 500 errors on parsing the request content):
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json");
Then you could just do:
var errorMessage = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
That's all on the client of course. WebApi should handle the formatting of the content appropriately based on the accept and/or content type. Curious, you might also be able to throw new HttpResponseException("Failed to find customer.", HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
One way to get the message is to do:
((ObjectContent)httpResponseMessage.Content).Value
This will give you a dictionary that contains also the Message.
UPDATE
Refer to the official page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj127065(v=vs.108).aspx
You have to vary the way you're reading the successful response and the error response as one is obviously in your case StreamContent, and the other should be ObjectContent.
UPDATE 2
Have you tried doing it this way ?
if (httpResponseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var cust = httpResponseMessage.Content.
ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<CustomerMobil>>().Result;
}
else
{
var content = httpResponseMessage.Content as ObjectContent;
if (content != null)
{
// do something with the content
var error = content.Value;
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("content was of type ", (httpResponseMessage.Content).GetType());
}
}
FINAL UPDATE (hopefully...)
OK, now I understand it - just try doing this instead:
httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsAsync<HttpError>().Result;
This is an option to get the message from the error response that avoids making an ...Async().Result() type of call.
((HttpError)((ObjectContent<HttpError>)response.Content).Value).Message
You should make sure that response.Content is of type ObjectContent<HttpError> first though.
It should be in HttpResponseMessage.ReasonPhrase. If that sounds like a bit of a strange name, it's just because that is the way it is named in the HTTP specification http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html
OK this is hilarious, but using QuickWatch I came up with this elegant solution:
(new System.Collections.Generic.Mscorlib_DictionaryDebugView(((System.Web.Http.HttpError)(((System.Net.Http.ObjectContent)(httpResponseMessage.Content)).Value)))).Items[0].Value
That is super readable!
Welcome!
I have a little problem with own application. This app can be connect(sith socket) an FTP server, and its work fine. But my problem is, if the user use bad usernam or password, the program won't receive the response statucode. Whats wrong?
I would like to use this statuscode some clause to examine(usernem or/and password etc.)
Code:
public static void ReadResponse()
{
result = ParseHostResponse();
statusCode = int.Parse(result.Substring(0, 3));
statusMessage = "";
}
The ParseHostResponse() method contains next:
Code:
public static string ParseHostResponse()
{
SocketAsyncEventArgs socketEventArg = new SocketAsyncEventArgs();
socketEventArg.RemoteEndPoint = socket.RemoteEndPoint;
socketEventArg.SetBuffer(buffer, BUFFER_SIZE, 0);
socketEventArg.Completed += new EventHandler<SocketAsyncEventArgs>(delegate(object s, SocketAsyncEventArgs e)
{
if (e.SocketError == SocketError.Success)
{
statusMessage = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(e.Buffer, e.Offset, e.BytesTransferred);
statusMessage = statusMessage.Trim('\0');
}
else
{
statusMessage = e.SocketError.ToString();
}
});
socket.ReceiveAsync(socketEventArg);
string[] msg = statusMessage.Split('\n');
if (statusMessage.Length > 2)
{
statusMessage = msg[msg.Length - 2];
}
else
{
statusMessage = msg[0];
}
if (!statusMessage.Substring(3, 1).Equals(" "))
{
return ParseHostResponse();
}
return statusMessage;
}
If I invite to the ReadResponse() method, the Visual Studio answer with this exception: NullReferenceException
in this code:
Code:
.
.
string[] msg = statusMessage.Split('\n');
.
What is the wrong? This code issue to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202858%28v=vs.92%29.aspx#BKMK_RECEIVING
Thank you for your help!
I can't help, but have to start with these side remarks:
statusMessage.Trim('\0') does not work (try it)
statusMessage.Split('\n') is inefficient as it involves extra allocations (guess why)
Now to the actual subject: I never used sockets on WP7, but from what I know about async operations it looks to me that you start async op (by calling ReceiveAsync) and use the result (statusMessage) before the answer arrives.
Think a bit about your design of the ParseHostResponse() method:
Bad name: Indicates parsing of a response, while it actually performs communication
Bad functionality: The method indicates sync patter, but internally uses async pattern. I don't know what to suggest here as every solution seems to be wrong. For example waiting for a response will make UI irresposible.
My main recommendation is that you get more information about async programming and then reprogramm your app accordingly.
