how can I call a webservice from watson conversation?

Question

I want to invoke a webservice within watson-conversation response and display the returned result from webservice to client.

For example, if I ask watson this question: how about the weather in New York 2016-12-30 ?

then watson will invoke a weather related webservice and pass the parameters city(New York) and date(2016-12-30) to the webservice, the webservice will return message "It is sunny, temperature is 30".

The client will get "It is sunny, temperature is 30" as the answer.
