JAICP release 1.11.10

New

  • Environment variables.
  • Decreased timeout for request execution via $http.query.

Docs

  • New articles on ready-to-use action tags.
  • An instruction on how to create action tags.

Environment variables​

In release 1.11.9, we added a feature that allows you to specify secrets for sensitive data in a script. Now you can also add environment variables.

A variable, like a secret, is a key-value pair. However, variables and secrets differ in the following aspects:

  • Encryption: secrets are encrypted by the platform, variables are not encrypted.
  • Visibility: you can see variables’ values in the interface and copy them. When downloading the project, variables can also be exported.
  • Access rights: only administrators can manage secrets, while you can assign different access rights to variables for users.

You can use variables in the bot script by calling the $env.get method.

Timeout for request execution via $http.query​

We have decreased the timeout for request execution via $http.query to 25 seconds. The previous value was one minute.

caution
Take this change into account if the requests you send from a bot script are executed for a long time. If the timeout exceeds 25 seconds, the request will not be executed.

Documentation updates​

In the documentation, you could already find articles related to action tags: an introductory article and a description of the TelegramPayment action tag. In release 1.11.10, we have added new articles in the Action tags section.

Descriptions of action tags​

We have added descriptions of the following action tags:

TagDescription
EmailSends a message to the specified email address.
GoogleSheetsIntegrates the script with Google Sheets. This allows the bot to read data from spreadsheets or write data into them.
HttpRequestSends an HTTP request. This allows the bot to receive data from an external resource and save it into variables.
InputFileMakes the bot ask the user to upload a file and save a link to it into a variable.
SmsSends an SMS message to the specified phone number. Only Russian phone numbers are supported.
TransferCallToOperatorSwitches the call to an agent (for phone channel bots).
TransferToOperatorSwitches the dialog to an agent in a customer engagement platform (for text bots).

Instruction on how to create action tags​

Ready-to-use action tags cover some of the actions frequently performed in bot scripts. If you need other action tags, you can create your own. To do that, use our new instruction.
