以 Google Chat 應用程式的形式回應斜線指令

本頁面說明如何為 Google Chat 應用程式設定及回應斜線指令。

「斜線指令」是使用者與 Chat 應用程式互動的常見方式。斜線指令也能協助使用者探索及使用 Chat 應用程式的主要功能。

如要使用斜線指令,使用者只要依序輸入斜線 (/) 和短文字指令 (例如 /about),即可取得 Chat 應用程式的相關資訊。使用者在 Google Chat 中輸入斜線,就會看到列出 Chat 應用程式可用指令的視窗:

斜線指令視窗
圖 1:使用者在 Google Chat 中輸入斜線 (斜線) 時顯示的視窗。

如果使用者傳送的訊息含有斜線指令,只有使用者和 Chat 應用程式看得到該訊息。

如要判斷是否應設定斜線指令,並瞭解如何設計使用者互動,請參閱「定義所有使用者歷程」。

必要條件

Node.js

Apps Script

Python

設定斜線指令

本節說明如何完成下列步驟,設定斜線指令:

  1. 為斜線指令建立名稱
  2. 在 Google Chat API 中設定斜線指令

為斜線指令命名

斜線指令的名稱是使用者輸入 Chat 訊息來叫用 Chat 應用程式的內容。名稱下方也會顯示簡短說明,提示使用者如何使用指令:

斜線指令名稱和說明
圖 2:斜線指令的名稱和說明。

為斜線指令選擇名稱和說明時,請考慮以下建議:

  • 如何為斜線指令命名:

    • 使用簡短易懂的描述性字詞或詞組,讓使用者更容易說出指令。例如,使用 /remindMe,而非 /createAReminder
    • 如果您的指令包含多個字詞,請在第一個字詞中使用全部小寫,並將其他字詞的第一個字母大寫,協助使用者閱讀指令。例如,使用 /updateContact,不要使用 /updatecontact
    • 考慮為指令使用不重複的名稱或一般名稱。如果您的指令描述的是典型的互動或功能,您可以使用使用者熟悉且預期的常用名稱,例如 /settings/feedback。否則,請嘗試使用不重複的指令名稱,因為如果您的指令名稱與其他 Chat 應用程式相同,使用者就必須透過類似的指令進行篩選,才能找到並使用您的指令。
  • 如何說明斜線指令:

    • 說明應力求簡短明確,讓使用者知道叫用指令時會看到什麼內容。
    • 讓使用者瞭解指令是否有任何格式要求。舉例來說,如果您建立的 /remindMe 指令需要使用引數文字,請將說明設為 Remind me to do [something] at [time] 之類的內容。
    • 告知使用者 Chat 應用程式是否會回覆聊天室中的所有成員,或私下回覆叫用指令的使用者。舉例來說,如果是斜線指令 /about,您可以將其描述為 Learn about this app (Only visible to you)。如要私下回應斜線指令,請參閱「使用私人訊息回應」一節。

在 Google Chat API 中設定斜線指令

如要建立斜線指令,您必須在 Chat 應用程式的 Google Chat API 設定中指定指令的相關資訊。

如要在 Google Chat API 中設定斜線指令,請完成下列步驟:

  1. 在 Google Cloud 控制台中,依序點選「選單」 >「API 和服務」>「已啟用的 API 和服務」>「Google Chat API」

    前往 Google Chat API 頁面

  2. 按一下「設定」

  3. 在「斜線指令」下方,點選「新增斜線指令」

  4. 輸入指令的名稱、指令 ID 和說明:

    1. 名稱:指令的顯示名稱,以及使用者叫用應用程式的類型。必須以斜線開頭、只能包含文字,最多 50 個半形字元。
    2. 說明:說明指令使用及格式的文字。說明的長度上限為 50 個半形字元。
    3. 指令 ID:介於 1 到 1000 之間的數字,供 Chat 應用程式用來辨識斜線指令並傳回回應。
  5. 選用:如果您希望 Chat 應用程式使用對話方塊回應指令,請勾選「Open aDialog」

  6. 點按「儲存」

Chat 應用程式的斜線指令現已設定完成。

回應斜線指令

當使用者建立含有斜線指令的 Chat 訊息時,您的 Chat 應用程式會收到 MESSAGE 互動事件。事件酬載包含斜線指令相關資訊,包括 slashCommandslashCommandMetadata 欄位。您可以使用這些欄位識別指令 ID 並傳回自訂回應。

以下範例顯示包含斜線指令 /voteMESSAGE 互動事件 JSON 酬載:

    {
      ...
      "message": {
        ...
        "text": "/vote yes",
        "argumentText": " yes",
        "slashCommand": {
          "commandId": 2
        },
        "annotations": [
          {
            "length": 5,
            "startIndex": 0,
            "type": "SLASH_COMMAND",
            "slashCommand": {
              "commandName":"/vote",
              "commandId":1,
              "type": "INVOKE",
              "bot": {
                "avatarUrl": "https://www.example.com/images/vote-app-icon.png",
                "displayName": "Voter Chat App",
                "name": "users/1234567890987654321",
                "type": "BOT"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }

如要回應斜線指令,您可以偵測事件酬載中是否存在 slashCommand 欄位;如果是,就會傳回指令的回應。以下程式碼範例說明如何回應包含斜線指令的 MESSAGE 互動事件:

Node.js

/**
* Responds to a MESSAGE event in Google Chat.
*
* @param {Object} event the event object from Chat API.
*
* @return {object} function in response to a slash command.
*/

exports.onMessage = function onMessage(req, res) {

  // Stores the Google Chat event as a variable.
  var event = req.body;

  // Checks for the presence of event.message.slashCommand.
  if (event.message.slashCommand) {
    switch (event.message.slashCommand.commandId) {
      case ID: // The ID for your slash command
        res.runFunction; // The response to the slash command.
    }
  }

Apps Script

/**
* Responds to a MESSAGE event in Google Chat.
*
* @param {Object} event the event object from Chat API.
*
* @return {object} function in response to a slash command.
*/

function onMessage(event) {

  // Checks for the presence of event.message.slashCommand
  if (event.message.slashCommand) {
    switch (event.message.slashCommand.commandId) {
      case ID: // The ID for your slash command
        return runFunction; // The response to the slash command.
    }
  }
}

Python

from typing import Any, Mapping

import flask
import functions_framework

@functions_framework.http
def main(req: flask.Request) -> Mapping[str, Any]:
  """Responds to a MESSAGE event in Google Chat that includes a slash command.

  Args:
      req (flask.Request): the event object from Chat API.

  Returns:
      Mapping[str, Any]: function in response to a slash command.
  """
  if req.method == 'GET':
    return 'Sorry, this function must be called from a Google Chat.'

  request = req.get_json(silent=True)

  if slash_command := request.get('message', dict()).get('slashCommand'):
    command_id = slash_command['commandId']
    if command_id == ID:
      return runFunction

如要使用這個程式碼,請替換以下內容:

選用:透過私人訊息回覆

只有傳送訊息的使用者和收到指令的 Chat 應用程式才能看到包含斜線指令的訊息。如果您將 Chat 應用程式設為與多人共同的聊天室,可以考慮以私密的方式回應斜線指令,確保使用者與 Chat 應用程式之間的互動不會外洩。

舉例來說,如果團隊使用的 Chat 應用程式是管理客戶服務,使用者就可以叫用斜線指令 (例如 /myCases),查看指派給他們的客服案件。如果團隊將 Chat 應用程式新增至聊天室,則在聊天室中使用這個斜線指令的使用者可能只想讓 Chat 應用程式回應。為了避免向聊天室中的所有使用者發布使用者的客服案件,Chat 應用程式可以匿名回覆。

如要私下回應斜線指令,請參閱「傳送私人訊息給 Google Chat 使用者」。

完成範例:使用 Rolodex 即時通訊應用程式設定聯絡人

以下是可回應下列斜線指令的 Chat 應用程式範例:

  • /help 指令會傳回簡訊,說明如何取得 Chat 應用程式的支援。指令 ID 會設為 1
  • /createContact 指令會開啟對話方塊,讓使用者輸入聯絡人的詳細資料。指令 ID 已設為 2

執行這個範例前,請先按照在 Google Chat API 中設定斜線指令的步驟操作。

Node.js

/**
* Responds to messages that have links whose URLs
* match URL patterns configured for link previews.
*
* @param {Object} event The event object from Chat
* API.
*
* @return {Object} Response from the Chat app
* attached to the message with the previewed link.
*/
exports.onMessage = function onMessage(req, res) {

  // Store the Google Chat event as a variable.
  const event = req.body;

  if (req.method === "GET" || !event.message) {
    res.send("Hello! This function is meant to be used in a Google Chat " +
      "Space.");
  }

  // Checks for the presence of event.message.slashCommand.
  // If the slash command is "/help", responds with a text message.
  // If the slash command is "/createContact", opens a dialog.
  if (event.message.slashCommand) {
    switch (event.message.slashCommand.commandId) {
      case 1: // /help
        res.json({"text": "Contact bot helps you update your address book!"});
      case 2:  // /createContact
        res.openDialog(event);
    }
  }

  // with a card that prompts the user to add a contact
