Creating a multi-platform bot v4

[ricagurgel]

I'm trying to create a multi-bot using web & facebook

it's seems impossible to configure two simultaneous adapters as example, and it's understandable, of course I cant create a second socket using a same port... But anyone knows the right way to do that? Any doc about it?

const fbadapter = new FacebookAdapter({
enable_incomplete: true,
verify_token: process.env.FACEBOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN,
access_token: process.env.FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN,
app_secret: process.env.FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET,
})

fbadapter.use(new FacebookEventTypeMiddleware());

const fbcontroller = new Botkit({
webhook_uri: '/api/messages',
adapter: fbadapter,
storage
});

controller.ready(() => {
controller.loadModules(__dirname + '/features');
});

Same here. It seems that v4 does not support multiple platforms.

Yes it does!

You can create 2 web endpoints on the same Express webserver, and pass in different adapters to each.

This requires either setting up your own Express, or extending controller.webserver (which is an Express instance)

Alright yall, here is an example:

Improvements to this will also be in the next release -> #1929
