There are two ways to use the Next Actions functionality:

  • The REST API can directly access policies. A primary use case for this is to retrieve policy routing decisions when using external, third-party bots, such as Watson or DialogFlow.
  • A JavaScript function wraps the REST API for easy use in Conversation Builder. If you want to save and delete properties in Conversation Builder, use the Javascript wrapper functions.

JavaScript wrapper

See the discussion on the built-in askMaven function in Conversation Builder.

Request payload example
{
  "accountId": "le12345678",
  "customerId": "myCustomerId",
  "visitorId": "myVisitorId",
  "sessionId": "mySessionId",
  "conversationId": "myConversationId",
  "lpToken": "Bearer myToken",
}
Request example
curl -X POST "https://{domain}/v2/policy/nextaction?access_token={Token}" -H  "accept: application/json" -H  "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"accountId\":\"le12345678\",\"customerId\":\"myCustomerId\",\"visitorId\":\"myVisitorId\",\"sessionId\":\"mySessionId\",\"conversationId\":\"myConversationId\",\"lpToken\":\"Bearer myToken\"}"
Response payload example

If you call the v2 API directly:

{
   "policyId":"myPolicyId",
   "policyName":"myPolicyName",
   "actions":[
      {
         "payload":{
            "message":"TEST Hello World"
         },
         "type":"SEND_MESSAGE"
      }
   ]
}

If you call the v2 API from a bot, the payload conforms to v1 and returns:

[
  {
    "payload": {
      "message": "TEST Hello World"
    },
    "type": "SEND_MESSAGE"
  }
]

status code = 200
