How To

Using POST data

You can use POST passing a variable as the second param in the POST call. The example bellow shows how to call POST using an object that is returned from the Excel file.

Given the Excel file with the following contents and saved to the standard .gbdialog folder:

tokenId	token	comment
29187	AAMkAGEzMWIxMmI5	Prod1
98739	jZWYtNGQ3My1iNmM	Prod2

The Word bellow will invoke POST call by using line contents as object attributes:

obj = FIND "dados.xlsx", "tokenId=29187"
POST "https://server/query", obj
' obj here is {tokenId: 29187, token: "AAMkAGEzMWIxMmI5", comment: "Prod1"}

OAuth2 is being implemented and no modification to previous calls will be necessary as this configuration will be an administrative conversation to get the token setup.

Generate a password for the person



talk "Let's generate a very dificult to guess password for the new bot:"
generate a password
talk "Your password is *" + password + "*. Keep it on a safe place only acessible to you."
