I'm building an application and one of the features is integrated with Twilio.
I have all the IVR flow done with Asp.Net Mvc 3 and everything is working correctly so far.
However, one of the features is to have the user input a phone number and have Twilio call that number and play something once the other user answers.
I'm using the Twilio REST API to make the call, but the call is not being done and I don't have any error on the application or on Twilio.
What I'm doing is this: I have an Action that receive the data from twilio
public ActionResult Dial(Call request, int opt)
{
var twilio = new TwilioRestClient(Configuration.TwilioAccKey, Configuration.TwilioAuthKey);
twilio.InitiateOutboundCall(Configuration.TwilioPhoneNumber,
"+" + request.Digits,
string.Format("{0}/Calls/Endorsement/Play?opt={1}", Configuration.BaseUrl, opt));
var response = new TwilioResponse();
response.Redirect("/Calls/Endorsement/Play?opt=" + opt, "GET");
return TwiML(response);
}
The response after the REST call is being executed and the outbound call doesn't throw any error.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Your code to initiate the outbound call looks correct.
Its possible that an exception is being returned from the REST API. I've changed your code to use the InitiateOutboundCall methods callback parameter to check if the RestException property is not null:
var twilio = new TwilioRestClient(Configuration.TwilioAccKey,
Configuration.TwilioAuthKey);
twilio.InitiateOutboundCall(Configuration.TwilioPhoneNumber,
"+" + request.Digits,
string.Format("{0}/Calls/Endorsement/Play?opt={1}", Configuration.BaseUrl, opt),
call =>
{
if (call.RestException != null)
{
//handle the rest error
}
}
);
If RestException is null and nothing is being logged in the Twilio debugger log, then your best option might be to break out Fiddler and see whats happening during the actual request to the API.
I had a similar problem and want to post here in case someone else finds this issue like I did. (At the time this is the only thing that shows up in a search for "InitiateOutboundCall".)
In my case no exceptions were thrown either by my app or by Twilio. The call to InitiateOutboundCall simply was not doing anything.
The docs make it clear that the URL must be absolute and I had left off the "http://". After adding this everything worked as expected.

So I have a request that is expected to run for at least 1 min. before it will give a response
To help aid user on not doing anything while my request is still running, I set some sendTyping activities:
For censoring production codes work sensitive information
, this is generally how my code looks like:
var queryDone = "No";
var xmlData = '';
let soappy = soapQuery("123", "456", "789","getInfo");
soappy.then(function (res) {
queryDone = 'Yes';
xmlData = res;
console.log(xmlData);
}, function (err) {
queryDone = 'Timeout';
})
while (queryDone == 'No') {
await step.context.sendActivity({ type: 'typing' });
}
where soapQuery() is a function that sends and returns the POST request which looks like this:
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
request.post(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
resolve(body);
}
else {
reject(error);
}
})
})
Problem comes because of this 1 minute response, (it's not really negotiable as the server requires at least 1 min to process it, due to large number of data and validation of my request).
Though after 1 minute, the console does print the response, sadly even before this, the bot already time out.
Any suggestion how to fix this, or extend time out of the bot?
I need the sendtyping activity so that user understands that the request is not yet done. And again, it really takes 1 minute before my request responds.
Thank you!
So, the reason that this happens is that HTTP requests work a little bit differently in the Bot Framework than you might expect. Here's how it works:
So basically, what's happening in your scenario is:
User sends HTTP POST
Bot calls your soapQuery
Bot starts sending Typing Indicators
soapQuery completes
Bot finally sends an HTTP Response to the HTTP POST from step #1, after the request has already timed out, which happens after 15 seconds
To fix this, I would:
Use showTypingMiddleware to send the typing indicator continuously and automatically until the bot sends another message (this gets rid of your blocking while loop)
Once soapQuery finishes, the bot will have lost context for the conversation, so your soappy.then() function will need to send a proactive message. To do so, you'll need to save a reference to the conversation prior to calling soappy(), and then within the then() function, you'll need to use that conversationReference to send the proactive message to the user.
Note, however, that the bot in the sample I linked above calls the proactive message after receiving a request on the api/notify endpoint. Yours doesn't need to do that. It just needs to send the proactive message using similar code. Here's some more documentation on Proactive Messages
The default ASP.NET Web Api Core behaviour for unauthorized request is to send 401/403 error with empty content. I'd like to change it by specifying some kind of Json response specifying the error.
But I struggle to find a right place where I can introduce these changes. Official documentation is of no help (read it all). I had a guess that may be I could catch UnathorizedException in my exception filter / middleware but it didn't work out (I guess it gets handled at authorization level or even not thrown at all).
So my question is how can I customize response behavior in case of unauthorized request.
With .Net Core 3 (or may be earlier as well) you can write a middleware to check if the context.Response has a status of 40x and then return a custom object. Below is roughly how I did it:
if (context.Response.StatusCode == (int)HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
{
var result = new MyStandardApiResponseDto
{
Error = new MyErrorDto
{
Title = "Unauthorized",
Messages = new List<string> { "You are not authorized to access the resource. Please login again." },
},
Result = null
};
await context.Response.WriteAsync(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result));
}
We are trying to test push notifications, using the latest code from the documentation How to: Set Up a Notification Channel for Windows Phone
public HttpNotificationChannel myChannel;
public void CreatingANotificationChannel()
{
myChannel = HttpNotificationChannel.Find("MyChannel");
if (myChannel == null)
{
myChannel = new HttpNotificationChannel("MyChannel","www.contoso.com");
// An application is expected to send its notification channel URI to its corresponding web service each time it launches.
// The notification channel URI is not guaranteed to be the same as the last time the application ran.
myChannel.ChannelUriUpdated += new EventHandler<NotificationChannelUriEventArgs>(myChannel_ChannelUriUpdated);
myChannel.Open();
}
else // Found an existing notification channel.
{
// The URI that the application sends to its web service.
Debug.WriteLine("Notification channel URI:" + myChannel.ChannelUri.ToString());
}
myChannel.HttpNotificationReceived += new EventHandler<HttpNotificationEventArgs>(myChannel_HttpNotificationReceived);
myChannel.ShellToastNotificationReceived += new EventHandler<NotificationEventArgs>(myChannel_ShellToastNotificationReceived);
myChannel.ErrorOccurred += new EventHandler<NotificationChannelErrorEventArgs>(myChannel_ErrorOccurred);
}
If HttpNotificationChannel.Find() returns null, it opens a new channel, but the ChannelUriUpdated event is never triggered.
If HttpNotificationChannel.Find() returns a channel, the ChannelUri property is null. The sample code crashes here because it assumes the ChannelUri property to be not null.
In neither case is the ErrorOccurred event triggered.
How can i solve this problem? This problem is because of microsoft server or any thing else?
Thnks in advance
EDIT
Waiting for replay,after ten days i am suffering of null uri problem
Can any one tell me how can i solve this problem some time MSPN server give chanalk uri ans some time not i mean some time it give null reference Exception.
What Microsoft doing?
If I don't go wrong, www.contoso.com it's a example URI to demonstrate that you need to put your own server URL address, but in my experience, I never use in that way. I prefer just to put
myChannel = new HttpNotificationChannel("MyChannel");
Look this example (it's in Spanish) but the codes are very clear of what you need to do to set the push notification client and service.
I hope I helped you.
You are testing in what mobile are Emulator,
Do you have developer account subscription for windows phone development,
Had you Developer unlocked your mobile,
Noorul.
I think the problem is that you are using the HttpNotificationChannel constructor of the authenticated web service, according to the documentation.
Instead, you should use the constructor that takes only one parameter, as you can check in this example
/// Holds the push channel that is created or found.
HttpNotificationChannel pushChannel;
// The name of our push channel.
string channelName = "ToastSampleChannel";
// Try to find the push channel.
pushChannel = HttpNotificationChannel.Find(channelName);
// If the channel was not found, then create a new connection to the push service.
if (pushChannel == null)
{
pushChannel = new HttpNotificationChannel(channelName);
...
}
Hope it helps
I have done with the simple SOAP parsing in wp7 with adding reference of SOAP Service in my application.
but i don't understand how to pass parameters in soap request ?
my SOAP Service is this
http://www.manarws.org/ws/manarService.asmx?op=fnGetSubCertificate
with the Certificate id is : 8
i have search about this last 5 days but don't get any way to do this.
Please help me.
After adding the service reference for your project, as I explained in the previous SO post:
You can make the web request like this and pass the parameters.
manarServiceSoapClient client = new manarServiceSoapClient();
client.fnGetSubCertificateCompleted += client_fnGetSubCertificateCompleted;
client.fnGetSubCertificateAsync("8");
And the response is obtained in the Completed handler
void client_fnGetSubCertificateCompleted(object sender, fnGetSubCertificateCompletedEventArgs e)
{
var resp = e.Result;
}
I got response like this
[{"ArTitle":"مركز السمع والكلام ","EnTitle":"Hearing & Speech Center ","PhotosCatsId ...
//Removed the rest
I tried with this code to post on the wall (Twitter) of a user
if (credentials.ConsumerKey == null || credentials.ConsumerSecret == null)
{
credentials.ConsumerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["twitterConsumerKey"];
credentials.ConsumerSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["twitterConsumerSecret"];
}
auth = new MvcAuthorizer
{
Credentials = credentials
};
auth.CompleteAuthorization(Request.Url);
if (!auth.IsAuthorized)
{
Uri specialUri = new Uri(Request.Url.ToString());
return auth.BeginAuthorization(specialUri);
}
twitterCtx = new TwitterContext(auth);
twitterCtx.UpdateStatus("Welcome");
Probleme : the first test goes well, I posted on the wall the second test shows this error:
Error while querying Twitter.
someone can help me to solve this problem
Thanks,
LINQ to Twitter throws a TwitterQueryException when detecting an error from Twitter. You can look at the Response property of the TwitterQueryException instance to see the message that Twitter is sending back. Another way to get a complete view of the query and Twitter's response is to use Fiddler2 to view the HTTP traffic and see what Twitter's response is.
In your case, I'm looking at the fact that you said the first post worked, but the second one doesn't. This might be caused by posting a duplicate message, which Twitter doesn't allow. If you look at any of the LINQ to Twitter demos that post a message, you'll notice that they contain a DateTime, which practically guarantees that the text of each message will be different. So, In your case, you could try this:
twitterCtx.UpdateStatus("Welcome - " + DateTime.Now.ToString());
You're welcome to provide more info by posting the contents of the Response property from the TwitterQueryException. Also, for more info, I've begun a FAQ at http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=LINQ%20to%20Twitter%20FAQ&referringTitle=Documentation.
