Save chat history from watson conversation service to Cloudant NoSQL DB

Question

Firstly,When I am starting the conversation,I am asking the user for their email address. The application is deployed in bluemix in nodejs After the conversation is completed,I want the chat history to be emailed to the given email address.Is it possible? If it is possible, can I save the chat history in the JSON format in Cloudant NoSQL DB ? Is there any tutorials on how to go about with this?

Answer 1

It is unlikely that you will find documentation for your entire use case, However, there are a few sources of information available to you.

• There is a conversation service demo app written in nodejs https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/conversation-simple. In particular, take a look at https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/conversation-simple/blob/master/app.js for the conversation code.
• There is a nodejs library for Cloudant https://github.com/cloudant/nodejs-cloudant. In that link you will find examples of how to connect to Cloudant and persist data.
• For emailing you will probably need to subscribe to a service like sendgrid. In that link you will find documentation for sending emails using nodejs.

As a developer, you will need to integrate the APIs for watson conversation, cloudant and sendgrid in your nodejs application.
