Passing a parameter between multiple intents triggering Dialogflow's Fulfillment

I have a Dialogflow agent that I've setup with a web hook that is pulling info from a Firebase database. I am trying to have different intents kick off different queries on the DB. From the Welcome Intent the agent asks for a name that it will matching the DB (e.g. Hi it's nice to meet you? What is the name you looking for?). From there the user is gives a name which is a response that triggers another intent called "name." This intent has a parameter called "agent.parameters.defaultName" which is passed into the fulfillment and used to query the DB. Below is the webhook kicks off the following script:
});
process.env.DEBUG = 'dialogflow:debug'; // enables lib debugging statements
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest((request,
response) => {
const agent = new WebhookClient({ request, response });
console.log('Dialogflow Request headers: ' +
JSON.stringify(request.headers));
console.log('Dialogflow Request body: ' + JSON.stringify(request.body));
//function to request bio info on the db
function handleData(agent) {
const congressName = agent.parameters.congressName;
return admin.database().ref().once("value").then((snapshot) => {
var nameInfo = snapshot.child('Name/' + congressName + '/profile').val();
agent.add(nameInfo + "\n \n Tell me the first and last name of the next
person you'd like to learn about. Or you can say Twitter to get this
individual's Twitter info.");
});
}
//Function to return the name's tweet info
function handleTweet(agent) {
const congressName = agent.parameters.congressName;
return admin.database().ref().once("value").then((snapshot) => {
var nameTweet = snapshot.child('Name/' + congressName + '/twitter_handle').val();
agent.add(nameTweet);
});
}
// Run the proper function handler based on the matched Dialogflow intent
name
let intentMap = new Map();
intentMap.set('name', handleData);
intentMap.set('name - custom', handleTweet);
agent.handleRequest(intentMap);
});
This returns the bio and prompts the user to say another name or say twitter to pull the twitter info.
If the user says Twitter I'd like for another intent to be triggered. This Intent would also have a fulfillment that would call the DB, but this time it'd pull the Twitter info. Where I'm having an issue is I can't get this intent to trigger the fulfillment. I'm wondering if my parameter is in the right section or if I need to figure out how to pass it to the Twitter intent. I'm not sure where I'm off.
Below are the intents:

Converting JSON data to DOM using jQuery

I'm looking to convert each 'item'(from JSON) to appear inside a section(or div) with the image and its link appearing with the name, id, and price - how would this be done with jQuery. jQuery and JSON are below, I don't currently have any classes in the HTML other than 'placements-title' for the header and 'placements-items' for the section.
Current jQuery:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'pathtoJSONdata.json',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
$(".placements-title h2").append(data.placements[0].message);
$(".placements-items").append(data.placements[0].items[1].id);
}
});

Use a loop build the html as a string and append it to your desired dom element
var data = {
"placements": [{
"message": "If you like this, you might be into these",
"items": [{
"id": "029148",

how to export complex json to excel with alasql

I have a json like this (there might be some syntax errors, I did extract and rewrite some private data)
"todo-items": [{
"id": 3511710,
"company-name": "company1",
"author" : "Jon Doe",
"tags": [{
"id": 10101,
"name": "2.Marketing Sales",
"color": "#f78234"
}],
"creation-date": 20160101
}, {
"id": 3511474,
"company-name": "company1",
"author" : "Jon Don",
"tags": [{
"id": 10101,
"name": "2.Marketing Sales",
"color": "#f78234"
}, {
"id": 10103,
"name": "4.Automotive",
"color": "#9b7cdb"
}],
"creation-date": 20160101
}, {
"id": 3511478,
"company-name": "company1",
"author" : "Peter Jon Doe",
"tags": [{
"id": 10101,
"name": "2.Marketing Sales",
"color": "#f78234"
}, {
"id": 9706,
"name": "3.sales",
"color": "#37ced0"
}, {
"id": 9562,
"name": "3.IT",
"color": "#37ced0"
}],
"creation-date": 20160101
}]
and I use alasql with xlsx.core libraries to export this to excel file.
For first I remove STATUS from original json (provided by teamwork API) and then I change JSON to javascript array
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: requrl,
headers: {"Authorization": "BASIC " + window.btoa(key + ":xxx")},
success: function(data) {
delete data.STATUS;
//alert(data);
//console.log(data);
var arr = $.map(data, function(el) { return el });
//console.log(arr);
alasql("SELECT * INTO XLSX('test.xlsx',{headers:true}) FROM ? ",[arr]);
},
error: function(response) {
alert(response);
}
});
this works nice and I can my json extract as excel file
but I have issues with tags objects in this json..when I change it to array and then save it in excel, all columns are ok except tags, where I see just [object][object]
Could you help me how to get these tags also into correct array? The best would be one tag = one column in excel
edit:
this is desired output - max # of tags in JSON will define number of columns tags (doesnt matter if it is tags tags tags or tags tags2 tags3)

json, ajax with a hash

i wondering if there any solution to get data from json in this format:
{ "#<Hashie::Mash acceptance_type=1 id=79 name=\"template 1\" url=\"http://myDomain\">":[{"id":68,
"name":"johnny",
"description":"Hello my first Description",
"created_by_user_id":16530,
"created_at":"2016-01-28T13:17:51.827Z",
"updated_at":"2016-01-29T10:40:40.011Z",
"receiver_group_id":3,"dynamic_fields":{
"files":[
{
"id":2,
"date":"2016-01-29T10:40:35.720Z",
"path":"http://mayDomain/000/000/002/original/The_Idiot.pdf?1454064035",
"public":null
}
]} }]}
like i want to have a name and description. but if i call in ajax like this:
$(function(){
$.ajax({
url: './dataModel.json',
dataType: 'json',
method: 'GET',
success: function(data){
console.log(data[0].name);// error name is not defined
console.log(data.name); // undefined
}
});
})
may be you guys have some idea how can i get the name and description? thank you so much for any kind of suggestion and idea.
best regard,
ape

Try this:
var input = {
"#<Hashie::Mash acceptance_type=1 id=79 name=\"template 1\" url=\"http://myDomain\">": [{
"id": 68,
"name": "johnny",
"description": "Hello my first Description",
"created_by_user_id": 16530,
"created_at": "2016-01-28T13:17:51.827Z",
"updated_at": "2016-01-29T10:40:40.011Z",
"receiver_group_id": 3,
"dynamic_fields": {
"files": [{
"id": 2,
"date": "2016-01-29T10:40:35.720Z",
"path": "http://mayDomain/000/000/002/original/The_Idiot.pdf?1454064035",
"public": null
}]
}
}]
};
var output = Object.keys(input).map(function(key) {
return input[key];
})[0];
alert(output[0].name);

Iterate through nested Javascript Objects from API response

I've tried 100 different things, and spend days looking through Google and Stackoverflow, but I can't find a solution to this problem. Everything I call after the body of this API response returns undefined!
The response from Facebook SDK looks like this:
[
{
"body": "[
"data": [
{
"name": "Larry Syid Wright",
"administrator": false,
"id": "xxx"
}, {
"name": "Melissa Long Jackson",
"administrator": false,
"id": "xxx"
}, {
"name": "Charlotte Masson",
"administrator": false,
"id": "xxx"
}
],
"paging": {
"next": "url"
}
]"
},{
"body": "{
"data": [
{
"id": "xxx_xxx",
"message": "In honor of Halloween, how many of you have your own ghost stories? Who believes in ghosts and who doesn't?",
"type": "status",
"created_time": "2014-10-31T20:02:01+0000",

}
}
},{

"name": "Jessica Starling"
},

}

}
}

"paging": {

"next": "xxx"
}
}"
}
]
This response is from a batch call. If I call them separately, I can easily iterate through the responses, and get everything from them. When I call them in the batch though, I can't get past "body", and I need to use a batch call.
console.log(response[0].body); will return the object inside the body of the first part of the response, but console.log(response[0].body.data); returns undefined. I just don't get it. This should be simple but it's like there's a lock on the door and I don't have the right key.
I normally have no issue iterating through objects, so I don't need a generalized answer. I need help seeing whatever it is here that I don't see. Why does the console show undefined when I call anything after the body, and what do I need to be doing to get any of these values?

That JSON contains nested JSON. body seems to be a string. Use
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);

The values from the body are just strings.which are embedded as json.So firstly you would need to parse them using JSON.parse.
The code would be like
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);
