Orbita lets the Voice Experience developer integrate Google services with Orbita’s project. This allows the Voice Experience developer to retrieve or send data to Gooogle services. Orbita exposed a middleware function to get the JWT tokens from Google. You have to enable the Google services that you are going access using the JWT token.

For example, as a Voice Experience developer, you may want to export the completed survey data to Google drive (doc/sheet).

This document details how to integrate Google Drive with Orbita.

 

Integrate Google Drive with Orbita’s project.

Get JWT Token in Experience Designer

  1. Login to Orbita and open Experience Designer.

  2. Add the below code in the function node or import the sample flow attached.

var orbitaUtil = global.get('orbitaUtil'); var resPromise = orbitaUtil.getGoogleAuthJWTToken({ client_email: "<ABCD@EFGH.iam.gserviceaccount.com>", private_key: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIBADANBg...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n", scope: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]}); resPromise.then(function(resData){ msg.headers = {}; msg.headers = { "Authorization": `Bearer ${resData.access_token}`, "Accept": "application/json" }; node.warn(resData); node.send([msg, null]); }).catch(function(err){ node.error(err); node.send([null, msg]); });
