Integrating Watson Assistant (formely conversation) with Telegram/Facebook

I am confused about how to integrate my Watson bot on messaging platforms such as Facebook messenger. To build that bot, I used the Watson Conversation service and also used Bluemix cloudfoundry node.js app to expose it on the web. It works very well, but I just can't integrate it to platforms without the use of a third-party platform like stamplay. I don't really want to use third-party platforms to integrate my bots.

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I can host my own bots on my Bluemix cloud platform? I just don't know how.

You might want to use some facilitators for this, like Node-red or NGROK.

  • Use Node-red to Integrate Watson Conversation with facebook easily.
  • Use NGROK, Tanmay Bakshi teaches how to do that. Check this tutorial.

With Node-RED you can create functions, and have a lot of options for Business rules for your application.

Note: I've built some open source basic example to Integrate Watson Assistant with Telegram and Facebook using Node.js. You can follow the instructions or read the docs in the repositories.

I created a starter application for this purpose. My example is for Slack and you easily use it by creating an slack API token. The starter is implemented in node-red and you just need to insert your API token and the rest is deployed automatically. I used Watson Conversation and Natural Language Understanding.

This middleware plugin allows developers to easily integrate a Watson Conversation workspace with multiple social channels like Slack, Facebook, and Twilio. Customers can have simultaneous, independent conversations with a single workspace through different channels.
