Articulate 0.27 Release
Analytics and Authentication
Articulate release 0.27 is out in the world, and with it comes the first release of two essential components of a chatbot platform: analytics and authentication.
Analytics
Though we hope this page grows to include more functionality, some basic analytics come with Articulate. The total messages, sessions, and fallbacks count are at the top, while the top actions and requests over time are at the bottom.
Authentication
We’ve released a global authentication strategy, which can handle multiple users but does not yet have the concept of roles or different permissions. The user is authenticated, or they aren’t.
With this, you can use a basic or local login system, Github, or Twitter. Other authentication strategies can be added with relative ease, and as usage grows, we hope to see more options built into Articulate.
Multiple Messages
Articulate splits the messages it sends into multiple messages if the platform allows it. In a conversation, this means that you’ll get two chat bubbles instead of one when Articulate has multiple things to say.
We’re still hard at work on the next significant improvements with Articulate. Up next buttons/quick replies. Our implementation creates a standard interface in Articulate for defining buttons. These buttons get translated into their required formats for the different channels we support like Slack and Messenger.
