Send user input to backend (and backend implementation tips)

(Alexander Prismotrov) #1

I need to get several sequential answers from user (user inputs), send them to my backend and provide user the reply (produced by backend). My questions:

Can you suggest me video tutorials where I can find how to do that with FlowXO?

How would you recommend me to implement the backend? I mean what programming technology and server to use? My requirements: programming technology should be maximum flexible so I can implement whatever logic I need (and add AI intent recognition in future pretty easy); server should cost less than 20$ monthly. At the moment I choose betweend NodeJS+AWS Lambda and Flask+GoogleCloud.

Hi Alexander,

Unfortunately I’m not able to make any recommendations for what you could use in your backend.

To pass the messages backwards and forwards you’ll need to use the Webhooks and HTTP service. There’s an article here that explains how to use data from a 3rd party with Flow XO which might help.

We also have an article here on integrating with DialogFlow which you might find useful for the AI intent recognition section. :slight_smile:
